De Jong sees City as a 2 year project > for himself !

[SCF08]

Some quotes from De Jong in Dutch newspaper Trouw.

''Everyone want to play for a topteam , but would I get the chance to play there 90mins week in week out ? At City I'm guaranteed a starting place in the best league in Europe''

''I see City as a 2 year project. In 2 years time I'm 26 years old and on the top of my game and I've had the chance to show myself in England. I'm a pre-thinker , I'm picking my own path. ''

''We're desperately missing players with character and mentality. A couple of guys who say , you can go as far as this but this is it''

''The last few years I've gained a lot of respect from the people in Hamburg , Holland en the people around with my play. I'm not worried about losing my place during the summer transfer window''

errr...

Thanks for that Nigel.

Well that kind of works both way...

The trajectory we're on means that its possible in two years, Nigel himself will struggle to get in the team...

what a chump, why come out and say something like that

 

[bluemoon27]

lets see if he is still in the team when jonno comes back

sign of the times, i'm afraid. some footballers like to do the whole tour thing. however, if we reach the champions league, i think you can expect him to change his mind.

 

[tommcfc]

seems uneccessary

Doesnt bother me in the slightest, gone are the days of loyalty in football.

Anyway, in 2 years he isnt going to want to leave City, there will be no more attractive proposition out there. And that makes me feel all warm and toasty inside....

:)

yeah if we make the champs league he will deffo have a change of heart I think. I hate it when players say things like this, It ruins the passion I think they have for city and just think they are here till a better offer comers along

He's trying to better himself. Big deal
