Has anybody seen him look happy

To say he had just bagged a last minute winner and gone a long long way to justify price tags in everybody's minds and all the rest of the shit that accompanies a big time signing he looked so so fucking grumpy at the end

Maybe he's just a miserable fucker but I don't think I've seen him smile and look happy ever

Nah, he did celebrate after the goal. He just doesn't overdo it. He isn't the type of person that likes a lot of attention. He has stated a few times that he has no interest in being a world star.

You can see him celebrating here btw: http://www.mcfc.com/CityTV/Match-highlights/2015/October/City-v-Sevilla-match-highlights

It as worth waking up early on a Saturday to track his plane over.

Yeah... I saw that but meant at the end of the game in interviews and stuff

Players are always very obviously pleased with themselves after clinching a game in that way... Still buzzing some time after the game

He seems to be still concentrating and burdened almost

Like people have said it's probably his nature to be hypercritical with himself

 

[HolisticJim]

I noticed it too. Surprised me he wasnt at least wearing a smile.

He's said himself, he likes to keep out of the limelight and is naturally a quite quiet and shy person. He's not that comfortable with interviews and likely just wants to get the interview over with as quick as possible. Sterling seems to be similar, his answers are very to the point and definitive. Not every footballer is entirely comfortable in the limelight.

A fantastic footballer, naturally 2 footed with great awareness of players around him. You see players who are selfish and have all the skills but ultimately the better defenders can play them, Kevin will link up play, score goals and provide many assists. A very good signing who will improve into a truly great player.
Without all the fanfare.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

He's that good everyone's forgotten he's only 24. Could become frighteningly good at his peak

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I think that while Silva is a better footballer, able to control a game and dictate tempo, that De Bruyne is clearly more decisive and a match winner. His ability to make telling contributions so consistently is so so valuable.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Have we verified if his goal was a fluke or not?

He miskicked it, defintely a fluke. Martial's goal on the other hand was world class.

I've believed for a very long time. I'd already been a fan going into the World Cup last summer, but I knew from the minute he turned the US inside out that I wanted City to have him. He's a special player and I'm still so excited we managed to pull off signing him. World class.

I like him being understated and honest in his interviews,i find it refreshing,he's just a quiet kid

Lucky for us we have BOTH!! :)

The 2 footed thing is huge and often overlooked. It greatly diminishes a defender's ability to cut you out when you can go either way. Same with Kun. Many goals with his left foot, most notably the thunderbolt against Chelsea in 2013.

 

[Shaelumstash]

Fully agree. An absolute baller and for me already a more important player than Silva.

Lol!

 

[DeBruyne10]

The kid is not a big celebrater, he just claps his hands once if he scores and that's it. He is also very hard for himself and for his teammates, that's another reason why he doesn't look happy if he scores a winner. He is already thinking about the things he can do better next game, that's just how he is.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

He has a lot of Colin Bell about him.

 

[worsleyweb]

I like the fact he seems a chilled out laid back ginger kid.
