Can't imagine that. Way to expensive and Bayern isnt even playing with CAMs.
On the wings he would be wasted like Götze.

I think your wishlist is saying something good for us RM fans.
Just how exactly would it have been better if he went to England or PSG and Bayern instead bought Pogba or some other star player?

What's your opinion on him now? Chelsea made a mistake in selling him?
Can't believe he was 6th choice for you last year. Behind Hazard and Willian I understand, even Oscar as he had a good two months in the start of the season then. But even behind Schürrle and Ramires on the wing? Schürrle who can't even get of the bench at Wolfsburg atm?
As Schürrle, Salah and now Cuadrado prove, it's hard to immediatly perform great after spending a month warming up on the touchline and only getting some timewasting minutes. And then being asked to suddenly turn it on against a lower league side on a rainy november night in some cup game. Mourinho's management of his wingers the last 2 years is more worthy of criticism then Chelsea cramping up the last months and playing some dull football.

Well at the time it didn't look like a mistake, and we made a very good profit on him. He always had that potential, and Mou initially had a very good opinion of him, but it changed as the season went on. Who knows why? Maybe he felt he should have just gotten into the team without working hard enough in training to oust the other guys, maybe Mou didn't think he could perform like he should. But based on the performances he's putting in for Wolfsburg, it does look like a mistake, we could have used somebody like him in the no. 10 role as Oscar is horribly inconsistent at times and Cesc is known for not playing as good in the 2nd half of the season.
I don't see him tonnes, what's his work rate like? He may have been sold for the same reason that Mata was, though I feel selling the latter wasn't a mistake, he just never performed for us under Mou, and he got his chances.

De Bruyne is told to not be the easiest character. Very competitive, can really not loose and if things do not work he can really have a temper. Maybe it is the red hair...
Hecking - the Wolfsburg coach - is more the fatherly type who let's him have his outburst but later on talks with him when he calmed down. And there is some older calm guys in the Wolfsburg team that handle the dressing room very well and he is the star there.
Could be that in another environment - or with Mou - his temper was not really helpful.

Oh if that's the case then yes, that could very well be why. Mou won't take that kind of shit, most definitely, so if Kevin got all pissy because he wasn't given a starting spot soon enough then that'd most likely be why. It'd also explain why Mou was pleased with him at the start but in the end he wasn't. Things were all rosy in pre-season, but that changed as the season with on, since Kevin lost his place in the side pretty early. Sounds like he needs a particular type of coach, and Mou isn't that type, which also explains why he says he won't play for Chelsea if Mou is managing there. It all makes a lot of sense now. In that case, maybe it wasn't such a big mistake to sell him, as Mou may have seen him as a potential disruption to team harmony if he stayed too long.
