De Bruyne?

Barca - Messi, Suarez, Neymar and Iniesta - The best by quite a distance.
Real - Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, James.
Us - Aguero, Merlin, KDB, Sterling.
Bayern - Lewandowski, Robben, Ribery, Muller.

In my opinion - Lewa is great, Muller is a nice fox in the box, Robben and Ribery to me though are becoming liabilities.

I think ours is 4th out of that list - but, look at the ages. Aguero 27, KDB 24, Silva 29, Sterling 20.

It's the youngest. Keep them together for 3 seasons and I think it could be as good as any. Sterling has all the potential in the world, De Bruyne can easily be as good as Robben or Ribery, and Aguero is already the best striker of the 4.
Well it's the rest of the team that matters..without their support it means fuck all.

Injury liabilities maybe, but they're Bayern's two best players without a doubt when fit to play. You can see the effect that losing them had on the league last season, their form dived off a cliff. 13 points better than Wolfsburg in the first half of the season, 3 points worse in the second half.

They basically seperate Bayern from the challengers and make it a 1 team league. Also the Champions league was over for them when they lost them both.
 
The new front 5 we have has to be the best in the league and matching Barca etc

Aguero - World Class undoubtedly
Silva - World Class "
Toure - World Class if he cares
Sterling - Potential to be World Class
De Bruyne - Very close to World Class

Who else can boast 5 of the best or upcoming best players in the world?
Barça Real and Bayern are the benchmark.

Busquets
Rakatic Iniesta
Messi Suarez Neymar

(with Turan who's a great signing)

Kroos
Modric Isco
Bale Benzema CRonaldo

(and then they have James on the bench)

Lahm
Thiago Vidal
Robben Lewandowski Ribery

(remember Bayern didn't have Vidal and Robben and Ribery missed the CL semis last season and they have Muller and Alonso)

But;
Fernandinho
Yaya Silva
deBruyne Kun Sterling


puts us back at the level of:
Matic
Fabregas Oscar
Willian Costa Hazard


and while;
Arteta
Ramsey Cazorla
Sanchez Giroud Ozil

is good it's not as good as ours and Chelsea's [if we land dB].

And as you say, we have a few younger lads in that who will become better than they are now.

Oscar and willian are nowhere near Silva and De bruyne. Providing we get him.

Just about to say. If you think Oscars world Class you need to give your head a wobble. Hasnt nearly hit the heights people thought he could. Coutinhos better.

Willians just a battler as well, little creativity.

James is starting, Isco is benched if everyone is fit. Going by last season anyway.

Also Lahm is going back to RB this season, so Javi Martinez or Alaba goes into Bayerns - a definite improvement over Lahm who was wasted in midfield.

But other than that I agree.
 
clap clap clap
brilliant first post.
beautiful.
now the cynic in me wants to say don`t be a cock but I`ll leave it be as the news on de bruyne has got me in a chirpy fucker of a mood.
as you were.


Earlier today, in this thread, I was shocked when someone’s first post wasn't supposed ITK information.

This gem however is exactly what I expect from new members who head straight to the transfer forum. FACT!!
Everyone wants to be an ITK - Generation Tolmie :-)
