De Bruyne?

East Level 2 said:
According to a couple of people at work he's been piss poor pre-season. No pace, no defending, nothing to indicate he's a big improvement. This has come from from Blues and rags.
So is it just the usual looking rusty after the summer or do we seem to be looking at a player that won't cope with the higher pace and physical demands of the Prem.
Genuine question; I don't watch much foreign football and haven't seen the friendlies where he's alleged to have been so poor.

I saw him play against Villareal and Arsenal over the weekend and he was class. Excellent vision, excellent passing, excellent work rate. What were people expecting to see?

He didn't have a huge goal threat. Skyed a few shots and missed a header. But he was playing a deeper role.

It was enough to convince me that he is going to be brilliant. Think he could turn out to be the signing of he season - even at a monstrous fee.

Judging by the corners alone, worth every penny! But seriously, looks an upgrade on Milner, and his deliveries will be worth it when he's dropping it on Bony's head and on the toe of Aguero every game.
 
De Bruyne Bundesliga player of the year.

Nothing more to say really.

Improvement you better believe it.

That's good, have you been made aware Ric if this will be our last signing? That was something Martin Blackburn alluded to me on Twitter.

Unless we somehow manage to conclude a deal for Pogba, which isn't looking likely, then I think De Bruyne will be our last signing of the window.

Didn't you say that a full back was being pursued too Ric (Oh Knowing One - ITK BE Praised)?

So disappointing if true. Said my piece on here enough, and not going to say it again, but I can't believe we aren't in for a CM if pogba doesn't happen.

Clearly de Bruyne is going to play in a midfield 3 - let's see how it pans out then.
 
Ric said:
Yep, but as I said it was reliant on Kolarov leaving and that's not happening.

Aaaargh Kolorov is crap.

I wouldn't want him to hear me say that 'cos I know he's a softy and might shed a tear but truth's cruel sometimes. (Not because he scares me)

If both Edin and Stevan leave we will have two foreign places up for grabs with De Bruyne looking a possibility for one.

I can't see us not filling that other foreign spot with a top class central midfielder.

I will be annoyed if we fill it with a striker because it will mean 4-4-2 and Iheanacho playing more EDS games than senior games.

Agreed- but Ric's info has been pretty on the money so far!
