It's Quiet - a new dawn

He played De Jong and Barry together 90% of the time..

De Jong was basically second-choice by the time we won the league with Mancini, albeit quite an important and frequently used one.

Didn't Sam Lee say something about working a deal for a new CB? But it wasn't what we originally had hoped for in an experienced leader type CB. In fact, I'm pretty sure he said it was the 'exact opposite'. So we're working on a deal for a young CB with potential I'm assuming.

He did, but that was a while ago when we were still considering ourselves more in the race for Mbappe (Going by Various other media reports). Now Mbappe seems further away, maybe we are more willing to divert funds to the CB and get in higher quality...

Barry Toure and Silva were his first choice, then Milner and Nasri, he quite often brought De Jong on late to push Yaya up if we were chasing a game.

Not when we won the title. De Jong was largely a sub.
