think we concede half a goal a game less on average when he plays - says it all
Good lord, I hope we do sign De Rossi<br /><br />-- Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:55 pm --<br /><br />Mancio said:mancini was right saying what he said.
but if in january we'll sign de rossi then NDJ will be free to stay on the bench.

Love Nige - total tower, but i think something is going on behind the scenes and its probably got a pound sign on it.
Josh Blue said:King Geedorah said:Is the team's offense strong enough with Nigel?
Often not. Think no goals against Arsenal, home draws to Birmingham and Blackburn, no goals at home to United etc.
I'm happy to accept sometimes we need Nigel, but also intelligent enough to realise sometimes he is a hindrance.
You are the worst poster on here!

Ok sorry I will rephrase that: the implied assumption is clearly false.
And who says it implies anything? Maybe it does ;), but isn't that assumption clearly a manifestation of your own judgement?
I hope one day you meet Stephen Ireland and ask him about my "implied assumption."
Btw, the SI bit was because Stephen Ireland told me this himself when I met him and asked what he thought of De Jong in the holding role. He didn't say they were scared but he did say he has a dominating effect on the game.Sabster said:Jumanji said:Implied assumption?

We both know what I am referring - attackers are not scared of De Jong the end.

No one is implying that they're scared. I don't know what matches you've been watching, but as soon as De Jong starts imposing himself, they try to circumvent him. Of course not every time, but it's clear to see, especially when they didn't mind taking on Barry more often than De Jong. Fact. End of.

He may not be the best technically but at least he puts fight and effort into performances. I'd rather have him than the pussies down at Arsenal. Oh, and De Rossi over De Jong? Get real.
