Kevin De Bruyne | Appreciation thread

[richards30]

Sounds like he is saying it’s the clubs decision? Absolutely gutted though , our best ever player imo and I hope he gets a statue for what he’s done for us.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

The absolute best I've seen in blue. What a player, love the guy!

Very sad to see him go, but he's going on his own terms and he deserves to make that call. It's the right call for him and the club I think but still very sad. Replacing him will be an impossible task, but will enjoy the remaining couple of months he has with us. I'm sure he will have another magic moment in him before he leaves.

Legend!

 

[ManCitizens.]

Gutted, all the best King Kev

 

[elbearos]

Almost blubbing here

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

We all knew this day would come but it's still a shock. I feel extremely privileged to have watched one of the greatest PL players of all time play for my club. Thanks for the fantastic memories King Kev, it's been a honour.

Aw man

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Kind of glad that it is the end. We all can see him struggling now and none of us, nor him, deserve to see the slow death of an absolute legend.

The best creative player that we’ve ever had and irreplaceable like for like.

Thanks for all the memories Kev, it’s been an absolute privilege to watch you.

FA Cup final match winner incoming!

I think it’s the perfect time for him to leave. Arguably the clubs greatest ever footballer. Enjoy these last few months with him starting Sunday.

 

[MillisleBlue]

Hasn't done too bad for a player tarnished by the media as a "Chelsea reject". Go easy, Kev, you absolute legend.

 

[axlgod]

Legend.

Thanks for everything Kev.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

How on earth do we replace him - the best the premier league has ever seen

Yes where on earth will the creativity come from? Genuinely worried.

KdB is the one who has got us through so many tough games, far too many to recall but Chelsea 2017, REAL equaliser 2023, sublime pass to Gabby to score for the 100 points 2018, tying his bootlace at 0-2 v Villa last game 2022 and pass to Gundo to get the winner and PL title.

Win the FA Cup for him.

 

[kunaguero10]

Let's see him lift that FA Cup as the send-off he deserves

 

[youngbob]

The greatest player to ever pull on the blue shirt.

Cannot tell you how lucky I've felt watching him every week for 10 years.

 

[kearsley blue]

We knew it was coming, dosnt stop it hurting. Thank you for everything. So good I named my dog after him. King Kev, you will be missed.

 

[MarcIsTired1986]

Though it's sad to hear it confirmed, I'm not the least bit surprised.

The question is - who replaces him?

Wirtz? Musiala? McAtee?

 

[GSW Blue]

What a player he has been. Centurion, domestic treble, The treble and four in a row but above all those incredible achievements he proved Phil Thompson wrong!

 

[DTKOAG]

He was our best ever.
