Nigel De Jong

[Quinninho]

Surely only Martinez, DDR or Garcia would fit the bill if NDJ did go?!

Seems a strange decision to me, I think Rodwell is a good signing but not in the same class as Nige??

If true, this transfer window is turning into a complete disaster.

I don't believe most of what appears either in this transfer forum or SSN. Especially, I don't believe the rubbish printed by Italian 'Football' papers after what we've seen over the years. They have no credibility at all.
It's bollox. NDJ ain't leaving in this window.

We'd never sell De Jong unless we have an agreement in place to sign a high quality midfielder first. After all we only sold Johnson when we... oh.

The only time I will believe anything is when our own website mcfc.co.uk states that it is true. That goes for any rumours.

selling NDJ for £5.5m and buying a repacement for £30m more!!!- does that make sense and more the point, are they that much better!!??.....

 

[leewill31]

if it is the case then surly we are confident to have a replacement ready to bring in?

Nor does letting him walk for a free in January and we would st have to find a replacement and that replacement is still likely to cost big bucks

Do we let all our players fuck off on afree of corse not

Potentially the nghmare scenari is Silva next year if he reuses to sign a new contract

DJ (sadly) must be sold this season unless he sign s up again and we must get a replacement - we aint a charity

I'm sure there is. Otherwise the midfield would be weaker than last season. I think it's clear that Mancini is trying to bring in a versatile midfielder. Someone who can play both midfield and in defence, (Martinez/De Rossi/Garcia) are all tall combative midfielders who can do that. Unfortunately for DJ, he is short and not very mobile and doesn't suit that role.
