Sunday Musings - De Bruyne or some so-called proven stars.

A certain team had him, they said he wasn't proven. He wasn't good enough to be a starter. He forced his way out and in a couple of months, becomes center stage in Germany.

Shuttering the assists record in all of Europe. Creating a million and one chances for his Wolfsburg team. Being the key cog in that team as they beat the more fancied Bayer and Dortmund to the German cup or so.

Winning the accolade for the best player in the Bundesliga (I think).

All of these and more have seen him earn a place among the best players of the past league season - culminating in a move to money bugs.

Meanwhile, at the other end, yaanom are struggling to piece their midfield together. Their so-called proven midfielders are struggling. But they can't complain.

...and because they are "proven" players , they can't be dropped to the bench - so they keep them playing game in, game out and they keep flopping.

Chelsea career - but has since tailed off (second season syndrome)

But who would care? Their talkative coach who has the penchant of blaming everyone else but himself when the team fails, has said his team's terrible start would not see them panic - buy before transfer window closes.

An all too familiar story. Yet zero lessons learnt. Only an open show of arrogance and disrespect!
