Kevin De Bruyne | Appreciation thread

[eastmanc]

Big nosed prick phil “thommo” thompson.

Half wits like that are very paid for their ‘thoughts’

Charlie Nicholas and Robbie Savage.

 

[Damanino]

its the right time for him to leave.

what a legend though. absolutely incredible player, no question in my mind that a new statue will come up for him. 10 years just like Silva, Komps, Kun.

KDB King of the Premier League assist? | His best for Man City!
Don’t know if that link will work, if not Sky have just put up some of his best assists.

Edit: it doesn’t work. The official premier league site also has his goals on right now.

Glad he’s being made a big deal of today after this announcement. The comments from other fans, some even main rivals have nothing but good to say about him.

There's still some shit **** gooners on HYS being total arses about him though.

Probably not go over him laughing at them as they threw bottles at him after he opened the scoring down there a couple of seasons ago, firmly letting them know that we were the league's top dogs

I'm guessing that, if he does get a statue, it'll be fabricated in the same way as the existing statues.

Is this not true then?

 

[Eusebio]

Such a unique player, not only in City/England but overall I don’t think we will see anything similar.

Maybe I am biased as he is been my favorite player to watch for the last 10 years, but for me he is undoubtedly City’s greatest ever. Although I understand it is not an easy choice at all for you considering the competition (Sergio and David especially)

One more FA Cup now, let’s finish on a high

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Is the Seven Nation Army chant now retired, as it fits 'Oh Florian Wirtz' at a push - just sayin'

 

[youngbob]

Made by AI and it's the wrong boot.

AND he's wearing the wrong kit.

 

[KDBPLGOAT]

The Greatest midfielder in PL history. Has a genuine claim to be the actual PL GOAT. (As you can see by my name)
The Greatest player in our history.
Literally, was our best player as long as Aguero, David Silva and Yaya were our best players, combined. Came in 2015, and within 18 months at City, became the talisman for the team, and remained so up until 2023/24 when Rodri took over.
He’s what Liverpool fans think Gerrard was, but more.
If he played for Madrid, for the last 10 years, he’d probably be considered the greatest midfielder in all football history.
My GOAT.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Made by AI and it's the wrong boot he's tying.

It’s a great statue though. I’d love to see that in real life.

 

[jimharri]

Is this not true then?

I honestly don't know. That's why I said "guessing". To me, it'd look odd to have 3 statues fabricated in the same style, and one that looks nothing like the other three. That's just my tuppenorth. I'm no more "ITK" than the next guy.



FWIW, it's a really nice statue. Though they should have done it in his "let me talk" pose!

 

[Semper aggressus]

One of our best ever, a true great. One of the best ever in this league.

We will certainly miss prime De Bruyne that’s for sure, but I guess he knows he’s not consistently what he was in past seasons. Thanks for every goal and assist Kev, absolute legend!

 

[merlinfan]

I am a 78 year old woman and have supported City since I was 9 years old. I don't live in Manchester and never have but this team captured me in the 1956 Cup Final. When I lived in London I became a season ticket holder and over years have seen all the greats. I sadly can no longer afford a season ticket.
Kevin is best I have ever seen in our glorious blue shirt. He is the type of player who takes your breathe away.
I played for QPR women's team back in the 70's and recently, we as a team, were invited to the Football Museum in Manchester and I mentioned that I had followed City all my life and that Kevin was my all time favourite.
Someone must have said something to the club because I recieved a video message from Kevin.
I will always be grateful he took the time to do that. He will never know what that means to me.
Wherever you go Kevin, I wish you nothing but the best. We will never see your like again but I am so happy I was around to see you in City Blue. Thank you. Now win that cup.

wonderful post thankyou

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Gutted. What a pleasure it has been watching him. Hopefully he gets a hell of a send off and we win the fa cup. Wish him and his family all the best.

Yeah. That would be good!!

He did tie both boots.

 

[Marvin.]

Great player but it was a pre-condition for re-building. You can't drop or replace KDB with him still in the squad because he's too big a presence in the dressing room.

Let's hope that we can finish the season off well.

 

[urban genie]

Is that real or AI?

Well I have no idea,xyou saidnhe deserved a statue, this lad has posted tgis.

I hope it is real as it is a great idea

 

[youngbob]

He did tie both boots.

Still made by AI and still the wrong kit. Our kit was made by Puma that year.

 

[Don Karleone]

True. Still a good idea for his statue though if they sort the kit out.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

What a fucking player, genuinely nobody gets near him, stick your Gerrards and Scholes up your arse. Best player to have worn the shirt, legend.
