The Blue Squiggle

This Kevin De Bruyne punditry chat from 2015 didn't age well 👀:

🗣️ Phil Thompson: "De Bruyne? Goodness me, Jeff. The world is going mad, isn't it? You look at the amount of money they are paying for this boy is just absolutely bonkers."

🗣️ Jeff Stelling: "Chelsea paid £6.7m, Wolfsburg paid £18m in January of last year, now we are talking about £50m"

🗣️ Jeff Stelling: "Merse, was Jose Mourinho wrong to let him go?"

🗣️ Paul Merson: "I didn't think so. I don't think he done it at Chelsea. He didn't look part of the Chelsea way at the time, and I think it was right to let him go.

There are players you see, and you think, 'Yeah', but I just don't see £50m for this player... I thought it was Lira."
