Him and Silva are going to rip it up once they get a good understanding. Thats why Bony will be so important, because the majority of our goals will come from midfield and not attack, so holding up the ball will be essential.

Including his City and Belgium appearances since September he has played a total of 2198 minutes and in total 14 goals and 13 assists.

Ozil, Arsenal and Germany, has played a total of 2359 minutes for 4 goals and 16 assists.

That's KDB winning that one then :)

His best performance so far yesterday.

His delivery is out of this world and his football brain second only to Silva.

Is it me or does anyone else see an absurd amount of the Chris Waddles about him?

i know exactly what you mean there pal. Waddle was always one of my fav non city players ever. Same languid style,looks as tho he he has not been invited to the party,then bang.What i think we will see more and more of tho is his deceptive pace..he is a very strong runner when pushed,and no slouch..that will catch defenders out as they dont see him as a pace player,but if you look at how quickly he gathered the over hit kolorov cross,just watch him, he is onto it in a flash,he then instantly controls a difficult high bouncing ball in one sublime touch,nudges it once more as he looks up, and then bang! curves in a wicked dangerous cross which catches the whole of the sunderland defence napping( they had just seen kolorovs over hit cross sail over and were taking a breather and re grouping) but The KDB brain and foot had already gone into overdrive..the future for us blues is gonna be so exciting with this man fully bedded in, and unlike Silva, he knows where the goal is and is ALWAYS looking to do damage to the opponent, every time, every touch,every game.

Back to that deceptive pace, there was a recent game, i forget which one where there was a real sprint for a ball with a defender over a long distance, and i was surprised how he came alive and took on the challenge..reminded me of a game i saw one night at forest when Spurs turned up,waddle was running the show...spurs were defending a corner at the bridgeford end,the ball broke to Waddle on the far right touchline and Des Walker closed in..Now Walker at the time was a very accomplished ,speedy defender,but Waddle pushed the ball ahead of him and set off,dribbling neatly but at real pace down the length of the touchline,walker couldn,t catch him...you,d never expect that from Waddle, and i see the similarity in The KDB.
Exciting times ahead.

"Formed" is a bit too much credit for Gent. De Bruyne only stayed at Gent until his fourteenth. Then he went to Genk where he became a real prospect, becoming champion is his first year as a first-team-regular.

I would say development from 6 to 14 years old is quite essential actually...

I don't approve, but I understand it a little. Watching De Bruyne play can be frustrating sometimes. For such a ridiculously talented player, he can put in such shitty performances on occasions.

Exactly this. I actually think he played well at the emirates but he's not had many great games away from home yet. The same can be said for the rest of the team though.

True but it's more obvious with KDB, with him the diff between his best and his worst is just immense, and he has no in betweens.
 
He has been inconsistent, granted, but always looks capable of a defence-splitting pass even during an off-game.

Given our "ageing squad", this lad and Sterling could be so important to us over the next few years. Merlin should stay at the top for some time to come and we have got a great nucleus there.
 
Aguero was a homer in his first season if I recall? Not unsurprising that they'll play better in familiar surroundings until they grow into the side more.

That's fair comment, but to be considered a truly great player De Bruyne does need to start doing the business away from home as well. I think that's all people are saying.
 
Leicester away would be a good place to start.
De Bruyne is a wonderful player & will continue to develop, getting better & better.
