Kevin De Bruyne | Appreciation thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

Playing deep in a Conte side with an extra second to get his head up and spraying passes around as a regista is everything I could have hoped for him. I hope he squeezes another five years out of his career and a couple more major honours.

imagine running into Napoli in CL KO stages next season and lose to them with KDB punishing us, Pep's ego wouldnt take it...
good thing is Conte has quite poor CL record compared to his domestic league record

fair play to Napoli, they lost that Asian defender to Bayern and Oshimen earlier and also Kvaratskelia recently, and still won the league.

 

[Corky]

I did tell you all..

He was never going to the MLS..

so

/rubbing salt into the MLS crowd

& /high fiving Europe crowd :D

You are coming across very joey tempest.

Similar to LaLiga it is a slightly less intensive league and lot kinder for veterans.

If Scott Mctominay is Serie A's player of the year/ season.. it's definitely either that or the Rags don't know how to manage their players.

Long may it continue whatever the case may be!

Won’t be down to pep but the players who we have brought in to replace Kev.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Naples is Rome without the culture, history, fine dining, stylish people, shopping, museums, art galleries, and a quality team in sky blue

 

[Lost in space]

Kev will have acakewalk in Naples. Good luck to him unless they play us

If he is on his game, he could rip our defence to shreds. Chances are he won't be, though .....

McTominay was pretty much one of the only bright sparks in that rag team before he left. Pulled them out of the shit many times with goals.

I'm not saying he's an elite player but he's a good solid top flight player. I honestly don't think Jude Bellingham is any better than him, skill set for skill set. Bellingham is just much more marketable. But that's me saying Bellingham is a good solid player, nothing more.

He's better than anyone the rags currently have in midfield. Fair play to him for leaving, he's too good for their current side.

€6m a year is €115k a week.

Why the fuck didn’t we give him another 2 year on that.

To be a squad player in the easier games he’d be well worth that.

 

[carlosthejackal]

It’s been a privilege

 

[blue44]

It’s been a privilege

And a fucking pleasure

 

[01cravend]

Can't wait to wax lyrical to my grandkids about Kev like some of you on here can do about Bell.

 

[jaiguruKun]

The Ronnie O'Sullivan of football

At hs peak, for a period of about 3-4 years he was playing a different sport to everyone else. There were games at the Etihad where you just felt he was controlling the whole game.

The best player we've ever had by some distance.

 

[skybluepower]

The greatest and best player to wear a City jersey ever!

it was a pleasure

 

[its a Barm]

Thanks for the memories Kevin we will all miss you

 

[Lost in space]

Thank you Kevin, I got summit in my eye during those olés at the end.

 

[burning blue soul]

The last decade has passed in the blink of an eye.
We were graced with the greatest playmaker of his generation. A true league great, probably the greatest the prem has seen.
Good luck Kev. You gave an old man the opportunity to act like an excited boy again when watching you play.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

A total previlidge to have watched KDB the last 10 years. As others have said, he saw and did things on a football pitch that the rest of us just didnt know were possible.
