17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I think his days are done here to be honest.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Looks injured to me.

Has developed a weird running style that suggests he’s overcompensating for a problem.

A weak hamstring will lead to changes in an athlete’s gait and running style, so it’s consistent with his injury history.

Please can we stop mentioning his name in terms of helping us to turn this situation around.

He's absolutely no where near fit enough to start a game, and when he does play he looks a shadow of his former self, and I don't see that changing.

Let's face it, he showed some moments last season, but it really was a moments season for him.

Gutted to see it end like this, but I think this is his last season at City, and I don't think it's going to see many special moments.

There's obviously more to the fitness situation then they are letting on, the vibe is he's gonna limp to the finish line and depart to america in the summer.

He doesn’t seem the type who would just go for one last payday if he knew he physically couldn’t do it anymore. I suspect he’d just do what Hazard did and retire early.

Looks just about in shape to get a game at Soccer Aid

 

[Delphinho]

Makes you wonder. Think we’ll sign max 1 player in January, but I find it weird he can supposedly only handle 10-20 min cameos after so many weeks in full training

Is the line about him being training FULLY for 4 weeks true?

Don’t know if anyone on here knows for certain, but Tolmie posted this exactly 1 month ago:

Cheers mate.
No idea if Tolmie knows but I do know that the tone bloke was on gere telling us that a player had broke his leg in training that was bullshit.
Actually, he did it on two seperate occasions, naming two different players.
That's why I asked.

 

[Bluewars II]

He was excellent at the EUROs, strange that so many are writing him off so early in the season. Give him a run of games at least, pathetic..

 

[RayCTID]

The question is who we are going to replace him with if he does move on in January?

I don't think anyone in that Belgium team can be described as excellent. A horror show from start to the end. Though it might not be the player's fault.

Has barely played all season tbf, but I can’t see him leaving in January. I think Musiala will extend with Bayern and Wirtz to go to Bayern or follow Alonso to Real Madrid. Could see us moving for Alex Baena this summer, who’s statistically the greatest creator in La Liga in the past 2 seasons. €60m release clause and looked very good against Girona today

400k a week for 15 minutes.

How many years of pure brilliance?

I’m not doubting the greatest player to put a City shirt on in my eyes. In confused as to why we are in this position, he has been training for 2 months but still isn’t fit enough to play more than 15 minutes..

 

[mancity111]

His time has come , body not up to the rigors of the speed and strength needed , amazing servant and up with the best we have had but time waits for no one.

A number of players will have to be moved on over the next season or two if we are to be competitive sooner rather than later.

This season I suspect will be the first time we finish out of the European places in 16 seasons.

Injuries have not helped but the fragility of the squad is there for all to see , midfield basically non existent and ensuring we make way too many mistakes at the back as was the case again against a Liverpool side that is efficient but IMO no where near the side that won the league under Klopp.

This shows you how far and how quickly you can collapse if recruitment and adaptation is not up to scratch.

I have faith in Pep and the ownership that they will not lie down and address the major reset that is required as quickly as it possible but if Pep should decide he part of the problem then so be it.

Sooo .. Get Alex Baena?

MSL primary transfer window is winter window unlike Europe&Saudi league. If u want to get a big deal or get a team set up all planned for you, it is better to join in the winter.

However I doubt Pep would want to lose anyone given the current squad depth problem.
