Player Topic: Kevin De Bruyne (2015/16)

[Didsbury Dave]

Too young for Colin Bell by from what I've heard, his name did pop up in my head, De Bruyne just seems sso different from other modern players, I kind of look at him as a slightly better Steven Gerrard or even Lampard as stated below, just with the way he'll ping out a pass quickly and has a great strike on him.

I only saw bell when he couldn't run. And I was too young to understand football properly. But I've seen plenty of him telly and I also respect the opinion of my dad on these matters.

Funny thing is, he WAS that good already. Wolfsburg didnt develop him, he was 21 when he arrived there! He was rubbish because he hadn't played for half a season in Chelsea and it got inside his head! Ofcourse he improved some at Wolfsburg, by aging and playing in the bundesliga. Maybe you should watch some footage from his days in Genk (Belgium) or Werder Bremen. He was MOTM and scored a beauty in his first and only full game for Chelsea. But Mourinho didn't like his face I guess. Joke's on him now.

We've always rated him above Hazard in Belgium.

Exactly. One minor correction: he laid on a wounderful assist for Oscar in his 1st game for Chelsea, in which he was Motm, not score.

Something happend during his short stint at Chelsea the game after that against Man U where they played 0-0. After that game Mourinho had made up his mind about him for some reason. I guess we'll never know what happend there, but it was obvious something changed after that game. It wasn't about his performance in particular (or maybe he didn't follow some orders), but the whole team didn't play well there, and 0-0 at Old Trafford in the beginning of the season isn't really a disatrous result.

Ah well. Glad he's at City now.

I agree, he was by far the most exciting signing this summer for me, its a lot of money of course, but fitness allowing, it will eventually seem like a bargain. He can play left or right, down the middle, and he'll tackle back, and bomb forward, seems so quick in all aspects of the game, what is not to like ?

He's started very well, and will get better with those around him.

Listened to the 5live commentary tonight, and both on the commentary were enthusing every time he got the ball.

I see it too. He's the real deal. Energy, positivity, vision, weight of passing and goals. This lad could be world class like Silva and Aguero.

I've no doubt, it might be more difficult when Silva is fit too, but I don't think so, Sterling will have a bit to learn still, but those three, and Aguero when he finds his touch, are going to rip big holes in most teams, domestically and in europe.

I can't wait.

As I posted above here. At the beginning of the year, Kicker magazine labelled De Bruyne in the bracket of 'world class' already (not many other players got that honor in the Bundesliga. Neither Muller, Lewandowski, Gotze, Reus, ... got that label). I know the Premier League is a big competition and all, not denying that, but it isn't the only place you can become world class ;)

Oh how he is going to hurt Chelsea fans. We've got years of them watching on seeing what they could of had as he dominates the league for us.

Not bad.
