Kevin De Bruyne | Appreciation thread

[cleavers]

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

I meant new "legend" not new KdB :-) just like Colin, Sergio, and David, there can't be a new one of them.

 

[uwerosler28]

Brilliant send off.
Great to see the fans stay behind,great to see the ex players messages and brilliantly hosted by Natalie Pike.
Perfect ending to Kevs City career.

He actually said a 'nearly" full stadium here to hear my words, even he got a empty seat dig in

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Great send off. And lovely to see former players contributing.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Brilliant tribute to KDB aand it was great to see so many fans stay to honour him, including a few Bournemouth fans.

I loved the tributes from the former players. Even though it was recent it’s hard to believe we had Zabba, Kompany, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Sergio, Merlin and DeBruyne playing in the same team. We are so blessed.

It was a nice touch to have Colin’s wife and son there. The relatives of the original King honouring the new King.

On the way home I was listening to Talksport and they were comparing the way City fans honoured KDB compared to the Dippers treatment of Alexander Arnold. You either have class or you don’t !

 

[cleavers]

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.

Of course not, but he didn't have the team mates Kev had, or for as long as Kev has.

Very different times those.

 

[ninjamonkey]

A great emotional send off for a footballing icon. Comfortably the greatest midfielder this country has seen and as soon as he's gone it will be widely accepted. Any name you can offer up in comparison, kdb does their best attribute better.

Thank God we won't have to do that again for a fair while. There's some other legends that will leave in the near future but nobody on that level. Gundo has already left once, bernardo we've been preparing to leave every year for the past half decade, stones is never on the pitch to miss him, rodri is probably the next one and hopefully he's got many, many years ahead of him yet.

 

[MCFC1993]

Couple of tears tonight, appreciative of what we saw and what will be remember from King Kev.

Love the send offs our club do.

 

[cleavers]

I laugh, at what chelsea missed out on.

 

[uwerosler28]

Lee, summerbee, Coleman, lots of great players

 

[skillman]

Ah what a privilege to have watched him for 10 years. And to be there tonight.

All hail, the King!



(If only he’d have scored that fucking tap in!!!!!)

 

[Coatigan]

we’ve gone too hard on these statues. everyone is gonna fucking get one

Dzeko was meant to get one and all. This was Andy Scot's sample mock-up.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Just got back from the game. Great atmosphere for a great occasion and a fitting send off for a living legend. Was quite emotional that. KDB, it's been a pleasure. Good luck in everything you do and thank you.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Great to see so many stay. I think he was really taken by that.

 

[HowleyBlue]

A Historic Farewell: De Bruyne​

 

[Salford in the City]

The club got it right tonight!

Good win, and a great send off!

Avoid defeat at weekend, then look forward to next season!

 

[mike1923]

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

Fair point! Hadn’t considered that

 

[Beanhead]

Great send of for probably the most complete creative midfielder in my lifetime and he played for little us.

 

[scousemanc]

Just got in. What a lovely tribute to a lovely man. One of City's greatest ever players, and based on the last 10 year's trophies, THE greatest. It was heart warming to see how many stayed after the match. Tears all round.
Bye Kevin and thanks

 

[Craig]

Was class that tonight. I was surprised how many stayed. Nothing less than the great man deserved though obviously.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Very emotional tonight. Brilliant send off for a true legend
