Kevin De Bruyne | Appreciation thread

[rumone]

When they were giving Kevin the presents at the end I was hoping there was a an envelope with a 12 month contract in it ! Sad night but thanks Kevin for everything ! LEGEND!

 

[come-on-barney]

Love the Sergio comments, when he said you are a legend at the club, so am I, with a big laugh!

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

Villa? Newcastle, maybe?

Obviously no one knows but I've just got this feeling he will stay where he is, school friends etc. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Sibierskii]

Absolutely gutted. 10 years all over

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Where the fuck was David silva?

Great send off though. Really hit home just how many legends we have had over the past 15 years rondo

Year I was looking out for David, awol

 

[cleavers]

Always think city fuck these things up by leaving it too long after the final whistle and making them too long but credit where it’s due that was perfect

There's usually a pitch invasion though, no need tonight.

 

[deano ou812]

Good luck Kevin,up there with Aguero,Silva and Bell for me as the best..

 

[Saddleworth2]

great send off. Couldn't have gone better. Well done to thw Club and the fans that were there.
Thank you Kevin. It was a privilege to watch you in our shirt. We will never see his like again.

 

[threespires]

Fantastic farewell and as people have said a reminder of some of the incredible players we've been spoilt with. Nice to hear FFS get a proper good cheer, you never miss your water till your well runs dry.

Shame it'll be daybreak before the traffic thins out enough to leave but you can't have everyting.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Don't think Alty can afford him

Maybe Accrington Stanley… or Bradford City?

 

[cleavers]

great send off. Couldn't have gone better. Well done to thw Club and the fans that were there.
Thank you Kevin. It was a privilege to watch you in our shirt. We will never see his like again.

There will be a "new" one.

We might have watched him tonight.

Club made it less impacfull by constantly blaring music out trying to dictate what the fans should sing, leave it out and the fans will fill the void

Colin will always be "The" King.

I just said to the wife that Kevin will be the king to the younger folk just as Colin is the king to older folk like me.

Sergio for me

I doubt it. I have never seen a player with KDB's passing vision and doubt I will see one in future.

Colin will always be "The" King.

He didn't achieve half as much as Kev or produce half as many assists /goals and Yes I watched him. The king is dead , long live the king.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Great tribute. Well done from the club!

Could only be dampened by him rocking up next year in a United or Liverpool shirt.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

next statue I guess is for Pep.

KDB was incredible player for us, such a great and unique style of football, really intelligent player on and off the field. right time to say goodbye but what a miss he will be. unlucky with injuries too in last 2 years also getting injured during two CL finals.

end of an era hope this summer we do extremely well in the transfer department as we need do. we must do.

We should name the north stand the Pep Guardiola Stand when the expansion is complete with a statue of him in front of it.

 

[Edghill OG]

He's the greatest ever Premier League player, He's above Henry in my opinion, He's a joy to watch, He's a genius.

That was emotional, It takes alot for me to tear up but that brought tears to my eyes. I suppose it makes things worse that there's that feeling of De Bruyne not ready to part ways just yet.

Anyway, All the best King Kev and thank you for all the wonderful memories you've given to us fans.

Same. Played well first half as well. 4 or 5 passes that only he can do. The guys irreplaceable. Shame he missed the sitter.

Only last year Klopp was saying the 'whole league is shaking' at the thought of him returning from injury. Don't buy this his 'legs gone' overnight rhetoric. Has at least another 12 months IMO.

Roy of the Rovers player that could do it all. Absolute legend.

 

[ysmsa]

No one, no Club does this send off, respect, community and all the non football stuff better than City, absolutely nobody!

Well done City.
