Player Topic: Kevin De Bruyne (2015/16)

[I Hart Man City]

He's very good, but I'm worried about how he'll fair against a genuine world class defender like Phil Jones.

Silva, however great his vision and control, has two massive weaknesses: his health and his finishing. And Aguero is nowhere near the playmaker KDB has become.

It isn't hype or dull brains, his stats indicate a better overall game than either. He is a producer of both goals and assists, and he is carrying us.

spot on.

Not thought this highly about a player since Colin Bell. However, when it comes to City it's always my emotions that lead, not my head. Still, he's already my favourite player in the team.

Hope you guys all keep your emotions under control if he plays a bad game or has a bad spell of games. KDB is world class and he started his City career in great fashion, but he may not keep his current numbers (goals and assists) throughout the whole season. He'll keep taking risks, trying killer balls and longshots, but maybe there will be a period with a bit of bad luck. To be fair, he didn't play his best game against Seville up to his last minute winner.

Love how you guys love KDB and he's a real special talent, but it's a bit too soon to put him up there with City's greatest players ever.

im loving hearing all the City fans in their 20s saying " he reminds me of Colin Bell" I'm 37 and never saw Bell play LOL

by the way i think De-Brunye is absolutely amazing

To say Silva has two massive weaknesses is extreme. There is nothing wrong with his health, only injury's due reckless challenges. As for his finishing again not a massive weakness but maybe should be a little more selfish at times.
Aguero i wouldn't class him as a playmaker. At the end of the day De bruyne, Silva & Aguero could walk into any starting eleven in the world.

There is an old saying ".....comparisons are odious...."

We are in danger of arguing and disrespecting our top players through the desire to compare.........

Lets just agree he is fucking special and if there is a need to compare - try comparing him to the special qualities of the other midfield import from the German league this summer - the one that does not even compare well to a Chinese fucking doll.

Sorry, didn't mean it as a put down of Aguero and Silva. It took me 9 games to admit it because Kun and Silva are my favorite players.

KDB, skill wise, is top 5 in the world. Just IMHO. It was obvious from his first game as a City player. The way he strikes the ball is just amazing.

A whole 9 games eh? Glad you've not been to quick to write off Silvas importance to the team. Giving it 9 games has shown you've put plenty of consideration into it.
Amazingly you're not the only one to suggest it but then I suppose everything goes on this forum.

Is he blonde or ginger?

I'm sure KDB finds Kun and David better players than himself
