17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[CΛL]

Napoli can be a wonderful city, speaking of my visits, and my friends who have lived there. I can imagine more so, with the kind of money footballers have.

Yeah I’d go in a heartbeat but he’s got a family, a trio of Mancunian kids settled at school and what have you

He's a multi-multi millionaire.

If he goes there, his kids will amost certainly be privately educated and won't be mixing with the hoi polloi of Naples.

Indeed, the chances of him actually living in the city itself are very remote.

The world of football is not like ours...

So that's what that was! Remember Kevin being very, very emotional around the time of the treble and I always wondered what was up. Now we know.

 

[ZoneMCRR6]

Been a brilliant player for us, big loss for us and also the Premiership. I don't think we can directly replace him

If he's anything like Kyle, then in about 30 years from now, I expect to hear news about some Ginger mobsters running Naples.

Looking at some of his visionary passes over the years i dont see any player coming close to being able to do similar ever in this country.
Ask him how he does it he couldn’t tell you he just can and we have been blessed as blue to have had this genius of a footballer.
I personally will never get over the injustice of his TWO championship league final exits but also never forget the guy tying his boot laces and then looking after us all.
I will miss him.

Unfortunately, we have only ever really replaced one legendary player with a better player and that was Rodri>Fernie and even then it looked poor at first lol

David Silva, YaYa and even Aguero (Haaland not the same kind of player) have never been bettered by their replacements.

Even Mahrez has bragging rights still FFS

 

[Gabriel]

The de Bruynes were married in Sorrento, and he used to visit regularly when Dries Mertens was playing, who was hugely popular in Naples, so the family already have an affinity with the area. Would expect any deal there to be easily negotiated.

 

[roy.or.r]

Any chance City might offer him a one year deal?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Well that's it then.

 

[city9320]

OH KEVIN DE BRUYNE

 

[yankblue]

miss you Kev :(

 

[Really_here]

Too late now surely

 

[The Blue Eh]

The best ever to play for God’s own team. Thank you for all the memories, Kevin! We will miss you.

 

[WyongBlue]

Brilliant player.......sad to see him go

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

That's it for KDB at City. He's not been anywhere near his best the last couple of seasons but what memories he's left us with.

 

[Champions again in 2012]

Thank you KDB

 

[pbueno16]

Just not going to feel right without him for a while. This day was always coming but I still can’t quite accept it.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

God what a player, sad day, how will we fill such a void. He was immense for us.
