Yeah isnt an 80m player? Alright but Man City dont give a f if its 8m or 80.

Also, Liverpool fans STILL holding on to the notion Sterling isnt good?

Still can't shoot or dribble just yet.

Well worth the 50mil though, he can become better than good if he can improve in those areas, 50 mil over his life span will be nothing.

Rather crazy sum for Shaun Wright-Philips' heir.

Sterling was 60M€ while de Bruyne almost 80. Also, I gather that Sterling was signed for potential being 20, while de Bruyne should be a finished product at 24.

Finished product at age 24, FML weren't the prime years 26-29 a few years ago?

At this rate, you would imagine Free to call for Independence from Belgium.

Well played sir. +1.

I gues it's too soon to bump, but I couldn't stop myself.

Why would you doubt him

Did you watch the game this time, free_cat?

No, did he do anything of merit?
No, right? Cool.

It's tiring that whenever I comment on De Bruyne you (plural) keep asking if I watched the game. People is all the time rating players on here who they can't possibly watch every or even most of their games if they are not professional scouts.

At least I openly admit if I watched the game or not, and I also would like to point out you don't need to watch a game to know if an attacking player did nothing.

That's ridiculous.
You can't judge a players performance if you don't watch him play, period.
It's pretty funny, because De Bruyne was easily City's best player against Pool, and pretty much the only one with a really good performance.

Did you watch the game? Aguero scored a wonder goal, you know that right?
We'll answer like this now.

Yes.

Ok, point out what De Bruyne did and I will go and watch it then.

I don't care if you watch it, just telling you your posts are embarrassing.

Being the most polished turd is not any achievement.

What's embarrassing is saying that the AM of City, who didn't create batshit, had a good game.

You don't know whether he 'created batshit' or not, because you didn't watch the game

Oh, ok, I guess he might have done everything right, except all the stuff that people would care to put on highlights. Surely, fantastic display from the most polished city turd.

@Hans stop wasting your time

The fact that he talked about watching highlights sums him up

This generations football fans

It's funny, I'm probably older than you.

This generation of football fans that pretend to watch each and every game of every player they rate and still have a clearly stupid opinion like saying De Bruyne is class.

De Bruyne played quite well and was definitely City's best player for me.

It's a team game though and Liverpool defended well, and really ran City over with their performance.

Yea...you're not. You are under 30 so you are for sure not older than me

You just said he was crap, yet the people that actually watched the game said he was Citys best player, then you mentioned highlights....

shhhhhh...it wasn't in the highlights

As always, time will vindicate me. De Bruyne will be hitting the bench hard or sold in at most 2 seasons.

That might happen, but it surely won't vindicate you

I'm not saying either he had a world beater performance worth every penny of his 80m.
It can be very much debated how good exactly he is and whether he will prove to be worth it.

However, it can't be debated by YOU, if you don't even bother watching him.

And I'm not saying you MUST watch the games, not at all, but then you MUSTN'T make a thread about him and bump it every week either, without even beginning to know what the *bleep* you're talking about

Strange you wouldn't get that tbh.

Really, apply that yo yourself, who can't possibly watch all the games of every player you rate.

As much as you want, De Bruyne couldn't possibly have a good game by any standards. Being the best in the team that did nothing (bar aguero's goal), is not an accolade.

It's funny, when I do watch De Bruyne the answer is that I should have watched him when he performed well, even at Wolfsburg, when I don't watch him but he obviously did nothing, it turns out he was being a kind of Makelele-Xavi mix, doing everything that doesn't appear into highlights right.
