[Tarnats left peg]

Will everyone still be gutted if we get DDR?

yes. because he's not nigel

Will everyone still be gutted if we get DDR?

A bit. But I can't see it. We seem more concerned with selling this window. Something has gone on behind the scenes. Perhaps UEFA has warned us again re FFP.

Rent Boys and PSG don't appear to have listened though.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Gutted if DeJong goes, and if its for as low a fee as being mentioned, then it's just an awful piece of business all round.
We must have a ready made, top quality, and I mean top quality, player lined up to replace him.Thats all I can think of.

Sinclair in the last year of his contract and he leaves for 6-8 Million !

And he is a pile of shite.

It just shows us up for the big mugs we have become giving Nige away for 3.5mil is a joke, Marwood should be fired on the spot for this piece of business alone. Yet again we are a laughing stock in the transfer market, through Marwood.

I agree mate, no way we would weaken like this unless someone is coming in!

A host of these articles have come out...... Does anyone know more? In contrast to 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999% of news headlines, these seem pretty damn conclusive..

Also Sky Sports News have declared seconds ago that De Jong is on his way

Now if all this is true I hope this is positive news in effectively declaring our intention and our confidence in either...

i) Nailing De Rossi
ii) Bringing in some other worldclass replacement (M'Vila, Tiote, whoever it might be)

What do others think?

 

[Benarbia]

Absolutely scandalous can't believe it till I see it. The club have gone backwards this summer and they don't seem to give a shit

 

[riley347]

i am officially crushed.....

 

[Blue Elmo]

Gutted if Nige leaves. Top midfield player. I could accept him leaving for a decent fee, but 3 million ? Milan will be pissing themselves at that

Anyone who thinks we'd let NDJ go for 3.5 mill needs there head testing. Stop reading some rag tweeting winding you up. The offer is around 8-9M.
