Carlos Tevez

[Rocket-footed kolarov]

Who/what did he speak out against?
Was it Mancini who wanted him out?

Apparently Mancini thought De Jong had too much influence in the dressing room...

I don't know if its true or not, just something that was mentioned.

outrageous if true

It probably isn't. He was a bit part player for the last season he was with us and he tore his Achilles half way through the season with Milan if that had happened here then we would be paying a player and giving him treatment at a high cost knowing that he would walk on a free or cost the earth to renew and be a shadow of his former self. Got rid at the right time, move on peeps.

It does make you think about it now, and to be honest I can see it being true.

Would the club really of swapped De Jong for Garcia? Even if it was for a like for like free swap we would not have done it.

Why sell De Jong for 3m then buy Garcia for 16m when De Jong is clearly the better player? Even non-City fans knew that.

De Jong was a world cup finalist, one of the best defensive midfielders in the world and clearly loved by the other City players as we had seen on Inside City.

Definately something suspicious went on with our Nigel.

De Jongs contract was up and we weren't prepared to pay him what he wanted so it was a case of £3m then or nothing down the line.

Using world cup finalist to praise him is a bit of a half truth considering he should have been shown a straight red and could have cost his team the game.

£3.5 rising to £5m depending on appearances.

They made a good decision in moving Mancini on and they will prove their worth this summer. As for the owners, we won the Euromillions with them, Liverpool won the Thunderball, Rags won a tenner but lost the wallet on the way home.
