De Bruyne?

he has 9 goals and 17 assist on the league ONLY in 27 games...so he has his contribution to 26 goals this season in the league(without taking in the equation EL or german cup...why the fuck some wouldn't want him here is a mistery..

Dzeko won the league with his team in Germany and was the top scorer for two seasons in a row, and now some of us wanted him sold because they think that he is not good enough.

Just for one season - but second in the other. But so was Gomez. Strikers are something different...
At providers you only have to ask if they fit the system. Bayern can ask that with their absolute possession system - if there can be a role for him. But you do not play that in this way.

Both players have strengths and weaknesses and like Dzeko I think De Bruyne will get shit from our supporters because he does have a lot of weaknesses and stats don't tell you everything. if you actually watch him play on a few occasions you would see that he will only be a squad player.

De Bruyne is not a special player in the Iniesta or Yaya mould but he is a hardworking / energetic player who makes things happen. Together with a Koke or Pogba he would bring a big improvement to our current lethargic midfield.

You can't compare the quality of the Bundesliga 5 years ago with today. The overall quality of all teams is on a different level, the Wolfsburg team that won the league back then wouldn't make the top 4 today. It's no coincidence that only one German team made it out of the CL group stages when Wolfsburg won the league (Bayern and they got embarrassed by Barca soon after), while 4 German teams made it out of the group stages for 2 seasons in a row now.
The Bundesliga collapsed in 2002, when the tv deals fell apart, hit an incredible low and needed to rebuild. Since around 2006/07 there were clear improvements visible, but it still needed to time to turn it into actual quality. You can see the positive financial development if you look at the overall revenue of the league over the years and the quality of the teams if you look at UEFA's 5 year ranking. For years Germany was in 5th place during the last decade, even behind France, and at times in danger of dropping even deeper.
So a player who excels today in the Bundesliga the way De Bruyne does is a lot more proven on an overall scale as Dzeko was between 2008-10. Add to it that De Bruyne easily outperforms Hazard for the nationalteam and you have a pretty good picture what his performances are worth.

Talking sense? And backing up opinions with fact? People don't take kindly to book larning round here!

The idle fucker isn`t good enough and should be sold.Way past his sell by date.He`s been a very good servant for our club but we need to move on.Spends most of his time either looking down at the grass or his boots.

I think that is a fair comment. A good player but not a great one.
