And he's going to make Mourinho look very silly in the process. Bonus. ;)

Pretty sure that's already happened. Mourinho and the Chelsea fans were almost giddy when they got 15 mil for a player that didn't even make their bench most games. And then they went quiet when that same player was voted best player in the bundesliga by both players and press in landslide votes.

But true to form Mourinho took it like a man and admitted his mistake. Oh no wait, he acted like a fucking child and started saying KDB begged/whined/cried to be sold because he refused to compete for his place in the squad. Pretty fucking hard to 'compete' when you're watching from the stands though. And yeah, good call always choosing oscar/mata/Schurrle/willian above him (Hazard too, but at least that one was understandable).


But yes, a large part why i wanted KDB back in the PL so badly was to watch Mourinho squirm like the worm he is. :)

The only disappointment from yesterday is that i had both Aguero and KDB in my fantasy PL team and ... yeah. Oh well, they'll make good.

Also worth mentioning, he was played on the left, which is probably his "worst" or most unnatural position. So this in addition to the situation he was thrown into and the fact he was still able to quietly impress spectators, is a very good sign.

It's not. At Genk he always played on the left, except for a few games as a central midfielder. Was played as a wide midfielder because of his young age. His ball to Navas with his left foot didn't surprise me, because he played as a left midfielder for a season or two.
 
should always play central and behind the striker. The more important you make him the more he delivers. Remember that his weak foot is at least as good as Silva's best.
Silva is very good but sometimes decisions are very hard ...KDB plays CAM

I think you are delirious ... I agree KDB is class but let's let him play with Silva play before he judge.

IMO both will switch so much that it'll be hard to know who's wide and who's in the middle but we'll see.

In football that switching stuff between star players hardly ever works. Silva has to play on the left or right side and they have to feet eachother from their positions. If KDB has to switch witch anybody its with the striker. That is one of his many specialities. He also has weaknesses though. Easy pases are inaccurate now and then. It happenes a few times almost every game. His mocking against the referee is also not smart sometimes.

"Remember that his weak foot is at least as good as Silva's best"

Laughable comment. De Bruyne is a quality player, no doubt, but leave the hyperbole at the door please.

Really hope you lot aren't going to be the new deluded Bosnian fanboy equivalents of the cult of Dzeko (may I just take this opportunity to now say how delighted I am that they've finally pissed off).

De Bruyne can be just as important to the side playing left or right as he can be centrally behind Aguero. Chances are when we have our first choice 3 AMs fit they'll all interchange with each other during a game anyway.

You're right, I forgot about that, but he definitely did not always play on the left for Genk. But he did start there.
But if you had a choice to put him on the right or the center I believe you would choose those options over the left no?
