Nigel De Jong

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

If the club let him go for less than 10, without an immediate player lined up to come in... we have dropped a massive bollock I'm afraid. He will go on to make 40+ appearances for Bayern next year and people will wonder why we sold him...

We have to sell him otherwise he goes on a free - he has apparantly said to City if they dont find a compromise he will sit out his contract and go on a free - if true and on that basis DJ need to be sold now sadly

The massive dropped bollock is on the part of City administrators not sorting out a fookin replacement which is fairly indicative of our transfer policy which is starting to look shambolic

I think we just need to have a little faith, I'm sure the Chairman/Marwood/Mancini will deliver. Lets face it we are trying to buy the best and that takes time, I'm sure they will do whats best for the club.

If rvp is getting sold for 15m as rumors say then 8m for nigel isn't bad. Would be nice to see a youth getting a chance like razak or abu but de rossi would be nice too..

As others have said if we sell De Jong with no replacement lined up then this is a huge fuckup.

Has he got on the plane?

£8 million pounds is a piss take, £18 million i reckon.

Yes Nigel was aboard the Etihad Aircraft ahead of its destination to Beijing. And rightly so.

So he's definitely on the plane? Is that confirmed?

I really do not want to see NDJ go at all, but £8M would be an absolute fucking joke - great player, great team and club man, and when you consider the kind of fees that other clubs receive for great players £8M would be utterly mad

8 million is actually a good price for a player with 1 year left on his contract. Clubs are bidding 15 for RVP.
