Or we start playing him more in centre midfield and keep a very good player.

I dont know why we have Jose as manager. There are lots of people on here who think they know better!

""I'm speaking with him and we're working a bit on that: he can also play as a midfielder when we play with an open triangle. He's done that at Werder Bremen, so hopefully we can find more options for Kevin to play, because I like the player very much."

What would be the point of a Chelsea forum if we all agreed with everything he does?

It would be a peaceful forum. A forum that dreams are made of.

When/where was that from?

Why isn't he getting a opportunity. We beat these 4-0 away from home and once again he is on the bench. I can only think that he must be out of the club. Bollocks and a shame, I feel really disappointed, our best player who has performed away from the club imo and we treat him like this. 

 

I wonder how this sort of behavior by Jose and the club will affect our other players who are performing away from the club. Its embarrassing.

Before the Sunderland game i think last week.

Since when, he's had not 1 minute of football for us.

This is totally unexpected! I was convinced my some member here that we play a lot of games and there will be ample game time for everyone . . .

I don't like it, don't think hes had enough chances to be written off for us, then again as I always say, I don't watch him train...I think he'll get a run out tonight at some stage, hope I'm right.

Me too mate, he hasn't had enough of a opportunity. Now I feel even if he does come on, I wonder whether his head will be in the correct place and I can see him struggling to deal with nerves. Footballers are so delicate mentally. 

 

Anyway still hope he gets minutes today and I hope he doesn't go. 

I'd love to see him get a run of games.

Well he got 10 minutes. Not sure why it wasn't at least a full half, Steaua were terrible.

our opponent being terrible hasnt stopped us from completely bottling it before

Still managed to create a chance for Ba and played a wonderful cross field pass to Schurrle who should have picked out Ba at the back post. 

As much as one may like the player this is a result of our summer transfers. We brought in Schurrle and then Willian which ended any chance for De Bruyne. There's just too many attacking midfielders and De Bruyne is the casualty. Your not gonna buy a player then immediately never play him like Willian. My guess is that Willian is just a bit better in training. If he's gonna be sold I just hope he is used as a trade piece for class striker or holding midfielder.

we should have loaned him out in the summer, and given the odd 5 minute cameos to a youth player like boga, that would have benefitted from being involved in the first team.

If mourinho hasn't got faith in him to help get a point at home to steuau, then there is clearly no immediate future for him here.

He'll be sold or loaned out and good for him. No immediate future with us and World Cup just few months away. He got the bad side of Jose not to mention the fierce competition for the starting spots.

interesting quotes coming out from Marc Wilmot (Belgium national team manager):

"I'm not angry at Mourinho. He's doing a good job and he has a lot of good players.

"If I would have the same quality in my group, I'm not sure if I would play De Bruyne either.

"Willian, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, Mata and De Bruyne: that is six top players for three places.

"I have already talked to Mourinho and told him I wouldn't interfere."

I would be comfortable with him being sold to raise funds for a central midfelder which lacks the depth in options the attacking midfield has.

I heard juventus are interested, id be happy for him to leave if we ended up with pogba

I'm hoping he gets 90 minutes as CM in the Fa Cup game against Derby.

He won't be here when we play Derby.

Its a shame really but much like Marin he just hasn't really had a proper chance.
