His general play is awful. People only rate him because of his numbers, which, to be fair, are good, but he struggles to play 5 yard passes, at times.
Mourinho was an idiot for selling himHe's a poor mans version of Becks for me. Very very good if you give him space, but unlike Becks, if you deny him space he has pretty much nothing.
Can still understand why Mourinho sold him, a cracking player of course but not indispensable.

Him and Lukakau
He had a bad game
What is it when players have bad games fans are so quick to critercise
I've seen him have fantasric games
This guy is a bit like Rooney. When he's bad, he is really bad. Can look like a championship player at times.
Players like him are the reason Wenger and SAF keep harping about their being no value in the market.
Certainly makes Gareth Bale look like a snip at 85m.
Like Bale never had a bad game in his life... He's been a fantastic buy for City, dragged them to the Champions League semi final by himself basically. 17 goals and assists in his debut season, what a flop.
Who called him a flop? I've mentioned several times that he's a very good player.
I don't think his general play is awful but he has a tendency to look lethargic or disinterested when things don't go his way. When he is on his game, this isn't the case IMO. What is true is that his creative passing is comfortably better, from what I've seen, than his general playmaking - something the likes of Silva, Iniesta, Messi etc are/were particularly good at.His general play is awful.

First of all you just added that second part in your post so I didn't see that. But what exactly has Bale done that makes him a much better buy than De Bruyne, also considering that he was 30m € more expensive and older when he was bought. His stats aren't better and he's surrounded by the best players in the world while KDB played with Fernandinho, Navas and Bony at times.
Yup.Top class player who had a really poor game. This recent trend of bumping a player's thread to lay into someone after a poor game is weird as feck.
Agreed. I'd spend 50 million him happily this summer if we could sign him. This is exactly the sort of player we could with ourselves - a few years away from his prime, already a quality player, ready to consistently win matches.Top class player who had a really poor game.

Belgium are like England of a few years ago. Ridiculously overratedBelgium remind me of England at the moment. Lots of good players but a manager with no cohesive plan.

It is indeed weird. De Bruyne is class and has proven it many times.Top class player who had a really poor game. This recent trend of bumping a player's thread to lay into someone after a poor game is weird as feck.

They lack Full backs, they lack a Winger (would prefer KDB centrally), and a striker who is actually goodThey are not overrated. The performances of their players at club level tells you that, the same with England of a few years ago. They are under performing IMO.

I still like him. He is fantastic at delivering the final ball. The thing is in big games when he's asked to do a job outside of the No.10 role, he doesn't put much effort. It's like he's sulks. Same thing he did against Madrid where he was abysmal.
Young?I think de bruyne is a good player but not consistent enough. That is the case with young players usually. I think at international level he and belgium need a change of coach. For city we will know a lot more about him next season. He will play for Pep who hates it when ball is given away. De bruyne is guilty of that many times.

24 is young. I expect midfielders to come into the prime from age 26-31.Young?
