We're now getting to the point the team, certainly the 1st XI, is good, so in certain circumstances, yes. If it was for a one off match, De Bruyne is probably of more use to us, as is Cristiano Ronaldo.
But for the last few years I wouldn't have. How would De Bruyne have done playing with Neil Taylor and Wesley last season? He'd have had no interest putting in the effort Jack did. He's been a monstrous part of us becoming and remaining a PL club.
He's already in the top 10 Villa players ever. Few more years and he's clear at #1.
