90% of all successful counters Belgium played the past 6 years, started with De Bruyne. Being able tot read the play, pick out the spot and lay the ball down at the exact spot at the perfect pace is something hè always excelled at. Even back then, you'd have to have been an utter ***** to have thought Oscar was a better player.

I mean I agree but the man is stubborn. Oscar was pretty much a guaranteed starter at that point. I think the spot left was to be a sane or raheem, a runner. Either way, our gain... kdb is looking like the future face of the epl

You're not wrong. But a lot of people seem to think KDB was average before he went to wolfsburg, he wasn't. Kev won the title with Genk when he was only 18-19. With Genk he had 6 goals and 17 assists in 10/11, 8 goals and 15 assists in 11/12. Was lent to Werder Bremen in 12/13 who were fighting not to get relegated: 10 goals and 10 assists to save Werder from relegation in his very first season in the Bundesliga.

I'm not Mourinho's biggest fan, but i would have never thought he was an idiot. But ignoring KDB was one of the dumbest things i've ever seen a manager do. Just crazy.

Has the PEG got any previous with talent spotting? Has he developed any player beyond the Wunderkinder from the MANUre Academy who are already developed to Maradonna/Pele/Cruyff pedigree? Or does he just meld a squad into a team that can maximise points without playing beautiful football Catalan-style?

And on another note, does anyone know what MotM goody KdB got? A little yellow box? Toffees, Make Yer Own Muffin Kit, EdP? Didn't seem big enough for a bottle of Chateau Beswick Grand Cru!

Meh idk at the time he overlooked him he just wasn't what mou needed. He was using him in 4231 on the wings and he had hazards creativity on one side, and an inform and possibly next big thing oscar playing centrally. The spot kdb was fighting for was wide right and seemed like mou just wanted more athleticism and pace, which maybe gave schurrle more looks and whoever else they had. Mou defends and counters. Creativity helps but he is very dependent on athleticism which not saying kev isn't, it's just maybe wrong place wrong time

He has a history of overlooking potential. Potential isn't short term and that's what the ego man is about.
