The Nigel De Jong Appreciation thread

[Chris in London]

Nige destroyed the Stoke midfield at the cup final and played a big part in ending the 35 year drought.

Thanks for everything, beast. Once a blue...

Good luck Nigel

 

[Eccles Blue]

Thanks Nigel, good luck in the rest of your career, but remember; Once a Blue always a Blue.


I feel this is a big mistake.
You will be sadly missed.

Gutted to see Nige go. Our loss is AC Milan's gain.

He may not of been the most technically gifted of players but in terms of the type

of player he is IMHO one of the top 2 DM in the world. He always played as a fan would play

and wore his heart on his sleeve and gave his all.

Thank's for the 3 and half years of service and all the best in Milan. I have a feeling he will

become a cult hero in Milan because of the type of player he is.

wish nije all the best, absolutely gutted he's gone

i think it would be a huge mistake for us to sell De Jong
right now,

 

[Txiki Vimto]

How much did we actually get for him? Can't find it anywhere.

 

[Milanista]

Don`t understand the reasoning for only selling him for that amount,if as others have said on here,£3,5M is the agreed fee.
Top guy and top player for me and likewise I`ll miss him.

Actually it is 3.5m euro's so that would be about £2.75m

Galliani says thank you.

 

[mammyjam]

Only player whose name I ever had on the back of a shirt (it was 2 years ago so this isn't my fault)

 

[Nicky D]

Absolutely gutted he's going, I wish we were keeping him - I only hope this doesn't come back to haunt us.

What a great player and fantastic servant, one of my favourite ever City players, cheers Nige.
