17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[heslops barnet]

That "mega ££££" i still a bargain if you look at his stats (goal contributions).
We're gonna miss him sooner than we think.
End of an era.

£350,000 a week apparently

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Glad to see him get a goal but it's definitely the right time to go. I don't think a top team can have his body in it, probably not even a mid table team the way the prems been this season, and I don't want to see him struggle so much next season

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Fucking daft letting him go.

It's daft if we play against Wolves every week but we don't.

But we saw what his body is like vs Juve, PSG and Real Madrid. Even against Arsenal who play man to man.

Sad but it's time to get more athletic youngsters in.

The classic 20 assist a season KDB is gone. :(

£350,000 a week apparently

£17m+ per year for a player two years past his peak at elite level.

Crazy money.

I think we've got our money's worth out of King Kev overall!

That's a good reason for us to let him go now; quit while we're ahead... The value for money just isn't there any more.

The problem is that there are no obvious 'next De Bruyne’s' in the pipeline at the Academy or anywhere else for that matter.

Just like Colin Bell... we were lucky to have seen him at his best.

Spot on. He hasn't got the legs to play upwards of 40 games a season any longer. Age, and injuries, have caught up with him. And 350k a week (even for our owner) is a hell of a lot of money to be shelling out for what would effectively be a bit part player for us. We've been privileged to witness arguably the best midfielder the Premier League has seen, at his absolute peak.

Said exactly the same about gundo when we had people raving about him after the Everton and palace games

 

[skybluepower]

Tnx for everything

 

[PragueBlue]

At least kdb can win us games . Gundo has no right being on that for another season but kdb with managed games will still do a job for us .

Both should probably go but as KdB is out of contract and apparently Gundogan isn't, I suspect KdB will leave this coming season and Gundogan, Bernardo and Kovacic the following one.

 

[WestGorton]

Sign him up.

 

[Cityfan1977]

WTF is this

 

[Tevez City]

WTF is this

Can't blame him if he signed for them

1- They are settled in England ( Stability for his family )
2- He has a point to prove to Pep & his amigos that decided not to renew his contract.
3- He will have a big chance to win every trophy

You can guarantee if he went there, he'd somehow manage 50 games.

He managed I think more games this season than last season

He himself said he is finally playing without pain


Long it may continue

hes played without pain what for a whole 7 games and hes been completely anonymous in 5 of them, look kev has been one of our greatest for one of a decade but he isnt what he used to be or even close.

It feels a bit like when Cruyff went to feyenoord

He's got every right to go there, we've made a decision that we no longer want our services. He's definitely the type of character that would want to prove us wrong - exactly the reason he's been such a legend for us.

I'd much prefer him to go abroad of course!

 

[Blue Maverick]

WTF is this

Well he might get player of the month with them.

 

[Blue Maverick]

I think if he stayed it woukd have to be on a massive reduced wage, he would benefit from Rodri coming back as well, I’d hate him to go to the scousers, Newcastle wouldn’t bother me as much but get to the usa Kev you’ll enjoy it.

 

[mancboy]

Has nobody pointed out the fact that this has come from di marzio who is a complete joke of a source also
