De Jong to rags?

[FlatlineMonday]

Some comments on here ripping into NDJ are laughable.

The guy was a beast for city and helped instill that winning mentality into this club, putting his body on the line.
Sure he was paid well enough but people are to quick to forget when players leave this club.

Our style of football has moved on and someone like NDJ in our current system would be restrictive... but at the time he was and still is one of my favourite players to wear that blue shirt.

Good luck to NDJ wherever he goes... hopefully he doesn't go to the swamp.

I actually think his overall play has improved since he left city. Watching him at AC Milan and playing for Holland I think his touches and passes are better than they were at City. That said, I'd still have Fernandinho or Fernando over NDJ these days.

This would break my heart if it happened.and to be honest I can see it happening,at the end of the day nige owes city nothing,we sold him 2 year ago,his legacy with the city fans would be gone tho which would be a shame

NDJ left because refused to sign a contract, nothing wrong in that and although he would improve that lot it would be sad to see.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I remember when we signed him and he said he saw us as a stepping stone to bigger things. I'm still wondering when he's going to make this step up?

Not arsed, decent player but limited. Ferdi, Fernado and Toure much better.

I take the last posters point that De Jong was limited but he was very effective at what he did. First player we've had in years who opponents seemed scared to go into a 50/50 with.

Goal.com is reporting (via BBC) that he's keen to move to the rags, I for one would hate that. Partly because I saw him as a huge fan favourite and partly because the likes of Silva, Nasri would hate to play against him knowing what he's like!
