Player Topic: Kevin De Bruyne (2015/16)

[Dhruv1]

Kevin De Bruyne welcome to Manchester City!
I haven't seen a lot of him but his stats and highlight reels are very exciting.
Reminds me of Yaya in many ways: can run, can pick a pass, scores a few thunderbolts.
What a wonderful transfer window this has been. City are flying in every way, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Kevin can do for us.

Now that we have added De Bruyne, Sterling and Otamendi to our squad, do people think this is the strongest ever squad City have assembled?

Hart
Caballero
Zabaleta
Sagna
Kompany
Mangala
Otamendi
Demichelis
Clichy
Kolarov
Fernando
Fernandinho
Yaya Touré
Nasri
Navas
De Bruyne
Sterling
Silva
Aguero
Bony

Surely that's not even a debate.....we have a squad of first teamers.

Anyone else think we could eventually move him back to CM as a deep-lying playmaker? His versatility is going to be very useful for us indeed

Just lifted this off a forum over here;



To be fair, he's in a VERY small minority.

Obviously clueless Jim, the chances of him and Navas being in the same side very often will be slim I would say.

I think he will be tried in that role at some point

What a shame. I'm really upset for them.

At least they're talking some sense for once Nige!

I feel we see KDB as a long-term player. At his current age, I think he will be deployed at as an attacking midfielder but I could certainly see him being an out-and-out deep-lying playmaker 6/7 years down the line ala Xabi Alonso. His passing range, vision, technique and shooting ability certainly makes him capable of such a role IMO.
