Kevin De Bruyne

There not world beaters now,no idea what people see in Cleverley.

maybe not but the points is he has been given minutes at united withput having impressed on loan. whether or not he kicks on to be a top player is anyones guess.

we do well with talent up til the age of 20, then there is no root into the first team. I think some of the players weve let go could have turned out better had they been shown a little faith.

At the moment theres only stoch, tore and borini who I think could have developed into better players. but we now have 5/6 of the best prospects in Europe who I believe have the ability to make the first team.

Would you please point out to me where the club has said he's not coming back?  He's still on loan in Germany.  The season isn't even over yet and there's outrage over indecision?  You're getting upset over tabloid rumours.

Well, the efforts to stash him on loan to Leverkusen tell a different story.

I also don't think Moses blocks KDB that much. Yes, he's a good player, but KDB by all accounts is better, we could use another player or two at that position anyway (we've got three stars and one solid backup for three attacking midfield slots - unless we expect the Three Amigos to stay this healthy every season, I don't think having six players for three slots is outrageous, especially when Oscar, KDB, and Schurrle can also slide into other positions in a pinch), and Jose has track record for dropping people with Premiership experience when a talented youngster looks better in preseason.

 

Given the quality, KDB should become an automatic choice before Moses.

 

And what do we need Schurrle for ?

Already got Piazon and Thorgan Hazard on loan. If required one or both of them should be recalled for next season. I'd prefer to chose from players we already got instead of signing new ones.

Mata, Hazard, Oscar, KDB, Moses, Piazon, Thorgan Hazard and Marin (that's 8 options for 3 positions) are more than sufficient midfield options and easily enough cover for any injuries. The likes of Arsenal, Man Utd and City would be drooling for such a midfield yet people here talk about signing some more.

You think Jose thought "This guy needs to be a winger"?

 

I think Jose thought "De Bruyne, Hazard, Oscar, Mata interchanging behind a

World Class Striker would be lethal."

 

Saying that who knows what system is in his mind.

For me, De Bruyne's best position by far is in central midfield. Playing him on the wing would be such a waste in my opinion and signing Schurrle has no correlation whatsoever to KDB's development at Chelsea.

I admit he has a bit of Gerrard to his game but I would take him at a heartbeat over Shurrle for a place in our squad.

 

We we live to regret the day if we sell De Bruyne to a German side and buy Shurrle.

 

It's clear to the many genuine german friends I have in Munich De Bruyne is hot property whilst Shurrle is not wanted

by any other team in Germany.

 

Not another MarIn by a long way but it is a concern.

German Journalists on Twitter now saying that Jose will decide what happens to De Bruyne. The Times were saying that they expect KDB to be in the squad next year. Surely Mourinho will want KDB? One of the hottest talents in Europe and an IMMEDIATE upgrade on Moses and the the junk we have in Marin and Benayoun.

What strikes me most about that video (other than the quality of his passing), is the finishing. He seems to know what touch the ball needs to beat the keeper.

Looks brilliant. The first goal against Bayern is a peach. How cool is that to just sidefoot a slow one past Neuer. And the one where he goes past the defender by flicking over him and eventually lobbing it past the keeper.

I guess the pre-season is his window as it is for Lukaku.

I have not seen anyone in the current Chelsea team apart from Terry who can one touch pass (consistently) like that.

Haz probably, but you are right. You can easily skip a few passes in the midfield with an accurare one touch pass.

At United he would be getting in the squad right now. At any club with sense he would. But we are not often run with sense so going to Dortmund for peanuts would not surprise me.

 

Lukaku and KdB, bring them back. Would be two 'new' quality signings on their own.

Wait, we had the sense to sign him though,why don't you wait to see what happens officially before you criticise.

If he wasn't on our books we'd be being linked with him and people would be excited at the prospect of getting him. Would be madness to let him go. Utter madness.

Cause speculation is what we do on here most of the time and the above was my speculation. Just something I could see happen and something I believe we would regret should it happen.

 

We do tend to have a history of preferring to buy the already ready made star player rather than nurturing our own. Though at least Oscar is a recent example of this not being the case.

Seriously good, as mentioned seems too know where to place the ball. Bring back the Belgians and take a right step back to winning the league.

I haven't seen much of him in all honesty. If taken back would he have any chance of breaking into the first XI? If so, at the expense of who?

 

oscar or lampard

In all honesty at this point (from what I have seen) I would have KDB in the starting line-up over both of them. Would be utter madness to let him go.

This is what I have heard. All good things. Hope he stays.
