17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2023/24

[toffee balls]

Yes. They made a terrible choice.

I was a wee bit surprised too.

He seems to be a bit of a twat out of the office but there is little doubt, he has been an incredible servant to us all at his desk.

 

[Claytop]

Was thrilled to see him driving past defenders again all over the pitch, makes me think/hope it was just a fitness issue last season & he still has that part of his game which makes him incredible.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

He should have been bout captain this season. I still get angry that Kyle was chosen over him.

City's Best Player Ever in my opinion!!


King Kev I salute you!!!

Yer never saw Ewing, Dobing or Bradbury, then?

Don't worry EB; Sgt. Rock is going to help you...;)

First game of the Euros I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Kev roll back the years on Saturday, he was everywhere!

He’s going to come back sharp for city but imagine he will be shattered by January.

He will have to make his league winning contribution before instead of after January next season so.

If Pep manages him well then he can stay sharp all season, let's just pray he doesn't get the Rodri treatment

He won't there will be plenty of rest for him, with Foden playing games centrally.

Whilst international football is pedestrian at times, Kev has looked to have that burst of acceleration and pace to get away from people in this tournament. I'm hoping the little bit of rest before the tournament started helped him get that back. Managed properly, if that's the case, there's no way I'd entertain an offer for him.

Shattered by August.

If Kdb rests and Phil plays his role, we are still one player short to fill up the role Phil would normally play. For this to work, Pep has to give some significant game time to players like Bobb

We aren't, until recently Phil spent most of his tome wide. Sounds like we will have Bernardo and Savio for that role and maybe Bobb too. Grealish and Doku on the other side.
Sometimes we'd play Foden and KDB, sometimes Kovacic and Foden or KDB. Plus Echiverri arriving in January don't know what we plan for him though.

Happy 33rd birthday to the Ginger King....

 

[its a Barm]

just watched Kevs 100 goals on OS fuck me we are lucky to have this guy he is genuinly world class.

 

[kaz7]

I wish he was ten yrs younger , i hate it when we are soon to say goodbye and it only seems a couple of years since they arrived . Think we will have him two more years though

With careful game management, I'd hope so too. The guy is a genius; he's the best player in his position in the world (in my totally biased opinion) We can't, however, expect him to be playing 40-50 games a season any more, given his history of injuries in the past few years. And I'm sure Pep is well aware of this.
