On the last day of the transfer window, Chelsea have signed Kevin de Bruyne from Racing Genk for a five-and-a-half year deal worth £6.6 million. The 20-year old Belgian left-winger, who can also play as an attacking midfielder, as already been loaned back to Genk for the remainder of the season.

I have a question for you: Why would AVB decide to loan him back to Genk, considering how badly Chelsea need a left-winger?
Answer: I have absolutely no idea. Really. To me, it makes very, very little sense.
If de Bruyne had stayed at Chelsea, Mata would have the opportunity to move into the centre of the pitch (as he loves to do) and take over the attacking midfield role. De Bruyne has shown on numerous occasions that he has the ability to play against top teams, so it unlikely that he would not rise to his full potential at Chelsea.
Anyway, I guess we'll see what else the window brings us as the hours wind down.
There'll definitely be a debriefing when it's all over.
