In simple terms, NDJ is the only genuine ball-winner (ie. tackler) in our squad. If we lose him then we lose possession of the football.

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

this is a bit revolutionary but why not negotiate a new contract with NDJ......

I think Bobby doesn't want him to stay in the long term but I can't see us letting him go just yet, without a replacement.

We tried, he declined the offer, so he has to be sold. Assuming a replacement is already lined up but with City you never know.

Barry wins more tackles per game than NDJ.

Garcia or DDR can do the exact same thing but then get the ball and ping it across the pitch or charge upfield with it.lionheart said:In simple terms, NDJ is the only genuine ball-winner (ie. tackler) in our squad. If we lose him then we lose possession of the football.
De Jong has a very limited skill set. However this set of skills puts him as one of the best true defensive midfielders in the world.
Mancini likes his players to be adaptable and able to interchange positions. NDJ won't offer this.
I really wish he could stay but if he won't sign a contract which is apparently would have made him the highest paid DM in the world then we can't do anything.

Need a level above De Jong now - a player who can pass and tackle. Not many about granted - someone like obviously a De Rossi or Alonso - but I would presume we have someone lined up if he is on his way
