I bet he can get the job done in the right tactics of course.

To me with 2 CDM's you really want one more of the ball winner/more defensive while the other is the player that keeps the team ticking over and the ball moving and getting it to the players up top. The reason I'd say De Bruyne is better suited to this is his range of passing. On either foot he fires balls around the field like it's nothing usually with pretty much pinpoint accuracy. Having that ability deeper would be awesome if we choose to counter or even change things up/switch up play.

While I agree KDB could play there. He has to improve his defensive ability as I don't want just one ball winner and a playmaker, the playmaker has to do some defending, Ala Modric at Spurs or Alonso.

It's the same problem with Joshie, he is perfect for the role but has to drasticly improve his defending. If KDB can improve his defensive side of his game, then yes, by all means, play him in the pivot. If he cannot. Play him further forward and bring Ramires in for defensive cover.

by the way, I don't want them to turn into a destroyer like Mikel, I just want him to learn correct positioning and when and when not to tackle. KDB seems like the kind of player who is more than willing to track back so he just has to make minor improvements and the spot would be his.

Yeah makes sense, of course he'd need to contribute defensivly and improve there but there are AM's that have learnt to play deeper, it just takes time and like you said tweaking their positioning.
