17 | Kevin De Bruyne - 2024/25

[Richie Rich]

If this is true it's stupid to play him.

This is true , saw kev say it himself , everytime he goes to shoot he is getting pain , he had five months out ffs , there were always going to be problems returning

As for contract talks , kev said he has put it on hold because of the injury , he negoiates for himself and it can be done quickly and easily another time

Unfortunately I can't see the club renewing his contract based on his lack of availability over this season and the previous one

Depends if he's willing to have reduced game time and salary

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

It's not just signings either, look at the number of academy products and players who were on our books we've let go who are now performing at a high level in the prem and for other clubs around Europe:

Palmer, delap, rogers, hardwood bellis, bynoe-gittens, frimpong, lavia, porro, nmecha, douglas luiz... the list goes on.

A fair few players on that list would still be squad players with limited playing time even this season. Certainly not players who you'd be hoping would get you to the final stages of the CL. Ultimately any player who leaves our academy will be the best player in a struggling PL side.

The thing is he has won everything there is to win and in my opinion will go down as our greatest ever player. If I was him I'd be tempted for a swansong in the MLS - less intense league and a warmer climate

 

[clarion]

I am not sure if prolonged goodbye would be good for the team. We need new players to build and rely on.

You think Pep would play him if it was going to cause further issues?

He has left out Stones, Ake , Akanji and Dias to save them and get their benefit long term and not to push them whilst carrying niggles.

Pep's press conferences where he questioned KDB's injury was telling for me and very out of character with the great man.

I think us not offering a new deal has pissed off KDB.

 

[Paul1970]

Think you will be sorely disappointed. Khaldoon and Soriano have final say.

We don't get into bidding wars for players who don't want to come here. Worked out well so far.

But not working now is it .

 

[decmancity]

But not working now is it .

So it's not worked for 7 games so just blow the whole system up...right.
