As a bitter Chelsea fan, I'll say Reus.

Reus no contest. De Bruyne had only one very good season. Reus has been arguably the best German player the past 3 years.

lol Reus obviously

Over the past year, there's zero argument for Reus as the best German player.

Anyway, I'd say Reus right now, but de Bruyne is two years younger and could eclipse him eventually.

I think maybe people are misreading what he's asking. De Bruyne is 2 years younger and hasn't had his career marred by injury (he's also already won more trophies and personal honours than Reus).

Still very up for grabs who will have the better career, but KdB has a good chance to end with more trophies and wasn't he voted the best player in the BuLi last season? Despite not being quite as dominant he's still having a better season than Reus with City so...

Anyway KdB plays for a team that will be constantly winning trophies and likely would only leave if Barcelona or RM came calling. Reus has had quite some injuries derailing part of his prime years.

I dunno. I definitely don't think it's a 'no contest'. If you look at their relative positions and recent performances I'd say KdB has a good chance at having the better career.

This is a better comparison tbh :

de bruyne. been a big fan of his game for a couple years. hes younger and injured a lot less. love how he always seems to get the ball into dangerous positions in the box like it should be so easy for every pro soccer player.

Is he even the best German on his own team?

Not right now. Gündogan and Weigl have been far better this season.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This isn't an easy question to answer.

Hard to say. Reus has had a more conventional development (be a prospect, improve, get better and then be elite(this is super simplified)) whereas De Bruyne always had the talent but before last year it was clear whether he would live up to his potential. Now it appears he has and will, but his career and Reus' from here on out are a coin flip.

Reus ist besser.

Was digging through old threads and stumbled upon this one. Very little in here has aged well!

Reus is underrated because of his injuries and because he never played for a top 10 club but de Bruyne is better.

 

[Chimaera]

It would have been interesting had he made a move to Bayern or someone like Chelsea, and stayed fit obviously.

At least you qualified yours as a bitter Chelsea fan.

Still a sort of what could've been with Reus as he got hit with injuries, he was one of my favorites for awhile.

Certain would’ve been interesting the heights Reus could’ve hit without injuries. He was basically a 15-15 guy in the early 10’s if I remember correctly, would’ve been cool to see him play at one of the big clubs in the world at one point too.
