Kevin De Bruyne

[vegitot]

Xavi and Iniesta had lightning in a bottle at Spain and Barca. They had arguably the best club team and NT ever throughout their primes. How many great players get that privilege? Granted, they were one of the biggest reasons for Spain and Barca's dominance but you can't tell me that they didn't have the perfect teammates, system and conditions for them to do their thing. Before 2008, Xavi and Iniesta weren't in any best midfielders in the world conversations. The Euros 2008, VDB and Pep coming in with the tikitaka system elevated them and got the best out of them. They had the dream conditions and setups around them. More so than any player I have seen in the modern era.

Lmao pretty much all great players play with other great players.

Don't act like Kdb play with Segunda team. He literally plays for the richest/best team in the world for many years. City won 98 points in EPL 18/19 without him for example.

Football is fucking a teamsport and why all people try to ignore things like teammate, style, team work?

 

[vegitot]

Agreed.

Likewise with Aguero. I would perhaps have rated him more if he didn't play at City.

And there is international legacy.

 

[Don Juan Laporta Estruch]

KDB hasn't performed well enough internationally for club or country to be considered amongst the pantheon of great midfielders.

He's had a great Belgian generation to do it with and he had a great City side to do it with.

And he didn't.

Even when City won the UCL he didn't really stand out. And there were numerous humiliating exits like Monaco, Tottenham, Lyon.

No excuses.

 

[jamrock]

According to him Belgium didn't have a golden generation or something like that.

While Xavi and Iniesta dominated with there's.

Modric & Rakitic brought there's to a WC final, incredible for Croatia.

Kroos...
Zidane...

While he was making excuses.

He cannot sit at the same table.

Excellent player but he’s not the type to deliver big performances at the CL semis, finals or WC/ Euros stages.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

I think he's elevated to a high level due to his brilliance in the PL. Obviously , when it comes to PL , I haven't watched tons of him with City but I'm sure he was brilliant . On the other side , in CL and internationals he seems like a big pussy to me , idk why.

Most noticeable tourney was the 2018 WC , obviously , but other than that , quarter finals exit merchant everywhere except 22WC where he exited the groups

His CL record is also bad , 1 CL in his career while being coached by Pep and playing in money oiled City all this time

Obviously top tier player but bigger match winner than Xavi and Iniesta while having 1 CL and best performance internationally being a top 4 WC , while having quarter final exits and even group exits in the rest ? Fucking LMAO

In his defense, their team probably never had the best chemistry and some bad people like Courtois.. he is a piece of crap.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

lol just read he will go to Napoli

stupid decision imo

Probably best central midfielder in PL history, just ahead of Gerrard and Scholes.

Not the greatest midfielder overall though because of this guy @Fati_Future_BallonDor

Trolls pining for my attention again?

Relax, I'll toss you lot a few dollars for lunch

 

[Messi983]

No idea why he would go play that boring Allegri-ball. If he's going there because of Lakaka is he aware that he'll probably go with Conte to Juve?
