Nigel De Jong

[kunaguero10]

last year of contract:

rvp: 20m

nasri: 20m

sinclair: 20m

walcott: arsenal demand 15m

ndj: 3.5m


sinclair's price has gone up 14 mil?

absolutely furious at this, if we replace de jong with rodwell we have taken an almighty step backwards

SINCLAIR 20M ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING ME, DO YOU HAVE A SOURCE?!

you don't know which sinclair I'm talking about, it was actually a brazilian sinclair who just transferred from sao paulo to corinthians

you're right it was a typo

 

[Rammyblues]

Rodwell for NDJ
Sinclair for AJ
Nastivic for Savic
Wright for Taylor


Maicon for Mancini as promised.

We are done.

If Pique comes it will be for Kolo.

We have also got rid of Ade, Bridge and RSC

Mancini is removing the last of MH s signings and replacing them with his own apart from AJ who everyone believed was a Marwood signing and Savic because he could get a better upgrade. This IMO is not about better players or worse players it is all about Mancini wanting players he has sanctioned.

Tiote ?

 

[BlueCityfan]

Wage bill?

I think: We are signing a better midfielder tomorrow who Mancini thinks will suit his style better than De Jong. We sell him for a low fee because we need Nigel to make way in terms of squad place and wage bill.

 

[mike channon´s windmill]

are we skint ? these transfers don't make sense

KHALDOON SAID THERE WOULD BE NO BIG TRANSFERS THIS SUMMER!!!!!- WHEN WILL PEOPLE LISTEN.....sorry for the upper case....

So when did this mean getting rid of one of our defensive midfielders when all we have is Milner and Barry, who are good with one injured, Yaya who is excellent, and Rodwell who is young and for the future.

If we sell NDJ without a replacement (Rodwell shouldn't be the replacement) then it's a backwards step.

Very hard to disagree with this - it´s baffling what´s happening although there´s still time. A good replacement for Nige would round things off nicely

Presumably this means we're signing Javi Garcia. If not, selling de Jong would be nonsensical.

it is anyway if reported fee is correct.

 

[Dirty Harry]

On the flip i guess he could have signed that huge contract we offered him?

Can we say for certain he's been offered a huge contract though mate, other than rumours and suggestions ?

Personally I'm of the belief it's more than just money, it's got to be, I think it's more about establishing himself (and family) in a country where they'll be happy to stay on after his career has finished, or something like that.

 

[Feed-The-Goat]

Still hugely popular with alot of fans, forget the fee its more a case of losing Nige who is alot of fans favourite player as has been for a long time, one of mine for sure.

I know there's no place for player sentiments in football as they come and go and its all about MCFC, but i am gutted about him going.

 

[snod321]

Some may disagree with me here but I seriously think Milner could do NDJ's job.... except Milner got some added ball skills n can move forward on occasion. Besides, I hope many would agree Milner is **%6^ as a winger

that might be germany though, he's running business there

 

[riley347]

Try and keep you chin up blues the fee is crap but we would of lost him for nowt just for the sake of cover. None of us now what has happend or happening behind the scenes.

we don,t but how do you replace the best in a certain field?......

 

[Jack Wills]

Be a shame to see Nige go, added steel to the midfield and we can't always rely on an ageing Barry. Rodwell is decent but still young and not as good as Nige right now in my opinion. We haven't really improved the side this transfer window have we, despite being champions.

I think footballers are not looking to put down roots until they retire

maybe playing regularly has something to do with it, but I also expect he'll be on more money now. If he turned down contract extension at City he wont be signing for less now. Unlikely anyway

Me too. Seems like a top fella. Love that clip where he sky's a shot and all the the blues jeer/cheer. Gives us a big thumbs up and smiles. Love it, clearly not a guy stuck up his own anus.

Best of luck NDJ.

I will reserve judgement.

One thing is for sure, the almost unanimous opinion of this board is that DDR is a missing ingredient . That tells me that we think we are missing physical presence in the engine of our team even with NDJ. It appears we have sold (not our best player by a long way) our most combative player we have in that position.

Therefore we require one massive pair of bollocks to replace his.

I trust this is in hand........

I was thinking more where he and his family may desire to live their day to day lives in the future tbh mate, setting down some roots etc, if he does have business interests in Germany it's not too far to travel when he has to I wouldn't have thought.

all the best NDJ thanks

Is he? A fans favourite and a useful player but Mancini seems to think there are better players.
