Kevin de Bruyne

[Miguelito 459]

In 4123 only if you want him CM

Like that

Cech

Iva-Luiz-Terry-Cole

Mikel

KDB-Mata

Hulk-Torres-Marin

4:3:3 has only one CDM and two attacking CMs, 4:2:3:1 has two CDMs and CAM, Kdb cant be CDM anyway...

Well in a 4-3-3 theres not always technically 2 attacking mids and I just put cm in there instead of attacking mids cause they play in the center. These things vary. And in a 4-2-3-1 the 2 defensive mids aren't always completely defensive.

And obviously he can't Play there right now, hence why I put I think we should convert him. I dont no whether or not he will ever be competent enough defensively

To me, he is more Gerrard than Scholes, but with less defensive abilities

Kevin De Bruyne said goodbye to Genk today and will come to London in some days.

In this season has scored eight goals and 15 assists, we'll see how it will be successful in the U.S.A.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Looking forward, hopefully he get's a chance..

KDB is a special talent. He reminds me of Toni Kroos/ Swiensteiger in his overall Package.( ironically like Sweinsteiger A wide midfielder converted into a central one- although he himself has stated the Central midfield is his best position) In terms of potential i would rank him above Kroos, it is just a case of will he get game time? Because lets be honest who would have thought Kroos would replace Muller. In a way we actually dont need another midfielder next year. Allthough i love Frank he should not play more than 30 games. Rather he should Share game time with Mceachran and KDB( so he gets used the the English game, and less Pressure... He would also share time with Mata at CAM and give him a breather ) as well as tutoring both of them the Chelsea way and the winning ethos that Mourinho instilled in him during his time here. If things pan out well could you imagine a midfield choice of CDM- Mikel, and Romeu/ CM- Lampard, Ramires, Mceachran( our own Xavi/Modric),KDB/ CAM- J. Mata, KDB(Toni Kroos/ Swiensteiger ), Kakuta, Paizon. = All of them could be world class.

He has incredible ball control, dribbling, passing and a fantastic shot. I laughed when I read 'he has less defensive capabilities than Scholes'. Since when could Scholes tackle?

I can not wait for this lad.

Who said he has less defensive capabilities than scholes?

[Spike 12,049]

No one. I misread BlueLyon's post. I am Error.

[Waterfall 893]

I must admit I've only seen him in youtube videos and against us, but I am genuinely excited about this kid. His game seems very mature. I hope he can become a good CM because realistically speaking he won't find much playing time at CAM or at wings (assuming we invest in wingers this summer)

[skeeo 37]

Hope he is given a chance.

I'm looking forward to De Bruyne arriving at Chelsea and I really hope he gets a chance because he could be a solution to the problem of a lack of creativity in midfield.

However to rank him above Kroos is ridiculous. As good as De Bruyne might be he has done nothing yet to warrant comparison with Kroos, one of the finest young players on the planet. The young German is nothing short of phenomenal.

[Leif 6,006]

De Bruyne is an attacking midfielder, who plays on the left wing, and is right-footed.

He has amazing dribbling skills, and pin-point precision passes and crosses.

He is a great free-kick taker.

Marko Marin has been bought as a squad player to replace Kalou, and won't be a regular starter.

De Bruyne will be a starting winger, if a starter at all, and not a central midfielder. We are Chelsea. We don't do what's obvious and play players in their best position.

SOMEONE WHO AGREES!! i lovee kroos personally reason i would support bayern in ucl after chelsea of course. yep would love it if carlo had signed him earlier after double win but kdb i agree he has same potential.

Apparently, according to the Sun (so who knows the veracity of this claim considering the source), KDB is to be loaned the Southampton for the coming season. I would like to see him loaned to a better side than a newly promoted club, but getting playing time in the PL is what matters most at this stage of his career.

It would be great if an established PL side took him on loan (like Sunderland)..rather than a club that could be in the relegation mix.

Wouldn't be the worst thing if he stayed at Chelsea. He could probably provide decent backup to Mata & Hazard, judging from the Genk games i've seen in the past 2 seasons.

[Kostas 1,468]

Getting the (any) loan sorted so early in the transfer window says something about how much the other club wants him and how he fits into the plans of their coach. With some luck and some managerial stability he may come back with more than 10 PL starts which would be a tremendous number by our standards.

[Ollie 4,400]

Really hope he does well at Southampton if it's true, look forward to seeing him in the Premiership to see how he does. A prem move to any club is vital in his development.
