17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[Bluewonder]

Giving pep the money for transfers ,when he most likely leave in 1 or max 2 seasons is madness .

Is he taking the players with him?

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

From what i've seen of kev from interviews, he was over it in less than a day and got on with it. He's very pragmatic

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Is he taking the players with him?

looking at the signings he made in past 2 seasons , he might as well take them with him

 

[Kippax Kidd]

He wanted to renew on the same terms . Maybe players themselves are the last to know they are done .

City have done the right thing and made the correct move.

End of the day, De Bruyne may well have wanted to stay, but I don't think he would have done if offered even half his wages at £200k a week.

If we get our targets in next year he will barely play 10-15 games. Not worth £200k a week at all.

He has had a solid 10 years, time to leave with your head held high, Kev.

 

[RayCTID]

Still cannot fully rely on Kev for a full season and there is not a chance he would accept reduced wages either. Dominating against Palace's midfield is one thing but there were scant signs he could sustain it against our rivals.

Based on this logic we’d never have given him any more after the first year of his contract since people were saying he’d leave each time it was close to expiring.

 

[jimharri]

My heart would say, "give him one more season". But, say he gets a serious injury in the autumn, and misses four or five months, including the run in?And he has been prone to lengthy absences in the last 2 or 3 seasons. Reluctantly, I'd say it's the right call.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Gave us a good reminder today of why we’re letting him go , nothing came off for him and simple passes were not finding their man

 

[skillman]

And that today is what it’s been like all season. Not the Palace game.

It’s the right decision for everybody and frees up a huge chunk of wage allowance.

 

[youngbob]

Nice of the Goodison crowd to clap him off.

Just seen a clip of that. When it was announced he was leaving I said other clubs fans would clap him, and Everton was the first on my list.
Well done, toffees.

And all those clamouring for him to stay after Palace gone AWOL. He's the best some of us have ever seen, but times up.

 

[Keeper!]

Showed exactly why the decision to let him go has been made, remember the great player, not this one.

[Mr Grumpy]

Why is he so public here?

Shut the fuck up Kev and be the model professional you claim to be.

Someone accusing Kev of not being professional. Only on Bluemoon.

It isn't though is it?
Gundo blabbering as he does isn't professional either.

 

[OntarioBlue]

I’m just reading on the BBC that KDB is surprised not to have received a contract offer and still feels he can play at the highest level.

Have we dropped the ball here. Gundo, who is older, get another year and KDB gets released. I love Gundo but I know who I’d rather have in the team, even if it’s only as an impact player
