The more I think about this, the more excited I am. I get some seem underwhelmed that this isn’t a lad considered world class or at a huge club, but he’s come up through Barcelona’s academy and won Player of the Season for Brighton in his first season in the PL. I do think Brighton will hold out for £40m but it’s the first natural LB we’ve signed in 5 years. Looking forward to him joining God’s Own Club.

Shit hair though.

Shit hair though.

I think its an attempt to get some more Diversity in the squad.

I will be chuffed d to have him but in all fairness when will he play? Will he be happy on the bench here? Same with Philips, Walker, cancelo and rodri will surely start most games if fit. Can this guy play rb?

If he comes, he'd definitely get first dibs at owning LB position.

Remember when we signed Zaba to replace Corluka and most were of the opinion WTF have we done losing an international RB and signing someone from Espanyol

Hope this lad is as good as Zaba

Yes, but an imposing physical presence was not amongst his talents. That was my point, you can be a premier league all time great without having to be physical. Don’t know enough about De Jong to know if he’d be good enough for us, but I wouldn’t rule him out just because of his size.

Indeed, it kind of depends on your role, style of play as well as your talents, but if you are breaking up the opposition’s play in the centre of the pitch which De Jong does in the less physical La Liga translating that to the EPL you need to more like Rodri. Just my opinion and I could be wrong but this guy is getting a lot of media attention over here and I just don’t see it.

Fair enough you are entitled to your opinion but you are not addressing your post "he isn’t a left back. Let’s get real here" . You may want a different left back, fair enough, nevertheless the real fact is, he has and is a Man City left back, like it or not, so get real on that fact.
