And Mbappe is the best French player ever, in fact, anyone who’s current is the best ever.
Fernandes Vs De Bruyne
- Thread starter Jacky Quacky
- Start date
Bruno’s had a better World Cup, that’s for sure. Possibly been Portugal’s best player, although I wouldn’t say anyone has been outstanding in the two games of theirs I watched. And of course - the numbers.
How have I never seen this thread before? It’s so funny. 
De Bruyne quite obviously the better player, Bruno most definitely the better tournament.
From the Portugal group, Kudus has comfortably been better than Bruno for me though and probably the outstanding 10 in the tournament I’d say. He’s a world class player in the making.

Of course. As the creator of this, need to feed that ego thing.
Why is this a thread? Obviously de Bruyne is the better player. Unless you're a reactionary moron who judges a players career based on their last match
The bump of this this thread is worthy of a twitter troll shitpost.
Poor WUM.
Poor WUM.
Shush man.
What the actual feck does ‘ego’ have to do with that? It’s a football opinion. Disagree with it, agree with it, or get stuffed.
He was our best player last season? And Bruno was stinking the place up…..perhaps the issue was Bruno
De Gea was our best player. And why are you obsessed with a season where adding Ronaldo made us a much worse team and everyone had to serve him to pad up his goal tally?
Ronaldo has been a joke this season. So glad he's gone. Best business we've done for ages.
So if I’m right what you’re saying is that Bruno not playing well week in week out last season is that he was looking for Ronaldo and that led to him playing shite?
Have a wank to it
I think it will hold Portugal back this tournament. I think it’s not as bad in league games, but at this World Cup, there seems a clear agenda from the players to ‘get Ronaldo his goals’.
Now midfielders looking for their striker is not necessarily a bad thing, but at the moment, Ronaldo can’t even be relied upon to take those chances anymore. Portugal seem set up to feed what is now an erratic finisher at best. If he was still the Ronnie of old, I’d have no issue with them looking for him at all costs.
I missed the part where we’ve won the league?
Right
Typical over rating of KDB. Players tend to look better due to Pep. KDB is definitely top 10 but not number 1 by a long shot in my opinion. Depends if we are talking overall midfielders, including CDM, CM and CAM. If Including all 3 then he is behind, and in no particular order, the following; Keane, Viera, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, David Silva.
Yes. He was not playing for the team, he was playing for Portugal child. Same thing for the National team. Bruno stops playing for PiersMorgan.Child. Portugal does well.
Ah right…so now he’s decided he isn’t playing for Ronaldo he’s back to playing well ? Got it. Sounds legit
He always played very well, except for when Cristina was there. Now it seems Bruno keeps playing well even with Ronaldo there.
EDIT: Cristiano
The renowned German sense of humour shining through!How have I never seen this thread before? It’s so funny.
It always does. We’re a friendly people. Bringing smiles to everyone around the world.
Perhaps Cristiano isn’t the problem then. Bruno was poor from jan 21 to the end of that season and we didn’t sign Ronaldo until august
Yeah, silly thread, no comparison no point for a thread.
Bruno is a master of his craft.
De Bruyne is just a ginger cnut.
De Bruyne is just a ginger cnut.
De Brine has it too easy at City. Put him in a team under pressure like Belgium with a striker that cant score goals and he will have a meltdown.
Easy. One is a genuine world class midfielder ….the other is Fernandes.
A lot of players had a better world cup than De Bruyne, doesn't make them better than him.
At 28, the ship has sailed for Bruno to be a better player than KDB, but he could still achieve a lot.

I dunno, Bruno has 3 odd years on KDB. Who knows what he’ll achieve as he comes in his prime
This is easy, one is one of the best midfielders currently...... and the other couldn't even get his team out of group stages.
Yeah but KDB has been great for City since joining in 2015, and even before that with Wolfsburg. He's one of the best players in PL history. Bruno still blows hot and cold at 28.
But he’s really stepped up over the last 3/4 years, his career from around 28 made him. To be fair it’s not his fault he had that bad injury and covid season happened before that but they did none the less. It’s not like Bruno before this hasn’t been outstanding, it’s just up to Bruno to take that step forward now under a manager who can use him correctly.
Deserved more love this post did.
He's been elite from 26 to be fair and when he was 24 it was pretty obvious he was going to be one of the world's best.
His career trajectory has been well ahead of Bruno's at every age.
I think bruno is the better player in terms of individuality but de bruyne is also class but has benefited from playing under one the greatest managers in history in a well oil system, bruno has not had that luxury at all

I’m a huge fan of Bruno but there’s no contest between Bruno and KDB, who has been consistently outstanding for the last 4-5 seasons.
If anyone has inside knowledge that De Bruyne is done, ok then obviously Bruno. But I am not aware of any evidence that De Bruyne is done.

It’s an impossible debate really, Bruno would look twice as good with mental figures in that city side while debruyne wouldn't look amazing in the United team the last few years.
Bruno was a goal and assist machine despite being surrounded by dross wiry shit managers with traffic cones to aim at:

I dont know why KdB always appears as a defeatist with his interviews and maybe people pick up on that take things to a different tangent.
