17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2023/24

[wolviedinho]

The quotes from KDB is to be expected with Saudi a viable option.

Stick or twist? The club will have a decision to make with Kev this summer. He has a few options, leave now for a big fee, leave on a free or extend with city but with limited game time. Very few top players accept the last option.

As for city, do we believe the player is coming to the end or has he another title charge in him. I’m not so sure, he looked good coming back initially but dropped off towards the run in. Pep also subbed him a few times. The upheaval losing him without adding a top playmaker would be huge.

What a player, another that sadly won’t be replaced. We have been lucky to have so many recently.

The team will struggle until it evolves again. Pep not certain on staying either, Eddie possible looking out and suddenly the spine is gone before you know it. The recruitment needs to be very good to keep us top.

Keep him another year, play him right wing, just putting that ball of Erling's head. He'd be amazing at that.

At least he isn’t spouting shite (like Gerrard and henderson) about wanting to go there to sample the lifestyle or the football or change the country’s attitude to things such as homosexuality

Our kevs honest at least

An unapologetic greedy bastard but an honest one at that

Yep. I'd imagine he can't be short of a bob or two at this stage of his career. A month of his current money at City would set me up for life. I can’t see him being the sort of person to piss it all up against the wall, or gamble it all away. And he's going to be on an unbelievable pension when he jacks it all in. You'll have plenty of time for "exotic adventures" with your wife then Kev. And anyway; how much more money does he honestly need?

No player goes to Saudi for “challenges”…..

Pity the Viking isn’t. ;-)

Oh, I dunno; how many 500 riyal notes can you fit in your pocket at one time?

Greedy how?

There was a reason I was banging for Wirtz last summer. As I always saw this as Kev's last season as an undisputed top player. Injuries are slowly catching on.


If he wants to go make ''turn me into a billionaire" money. Then he absolutely should go do that.

For some, It would be a far more fulfilling experience than playing backup at a team where he used to be King.

Modric might be okay with a bit part role at Madrid, but that isn't for every one time Superstar.

Thought that’s what we should have done in the last 35 of the final rather than subbing him

Kev leaving this summer would be a bit shit wouldn't it, he needs a proper send-off.

We seem weirdly bad at this. I know it was covid but Silva and Sergio still never got the farewell they deserved.

About the only player in recent times we had a proper sendoff that justified their position in the club was Zabba. I actually had a little cry that day.

If we let Kev just walk out the back door it would be a travesty.
