The Nigel De Jong Appreciation thread

So many people saying the club are making a mistake - mybe he just wanted more regular football and asked to go?
Maybe Mancini respects him so much he's not made a fuss and let him go?


I thought he might have gone at the beginning of last season - only because I bought a shirt with his name on - the first time I've ever had a named shirt.

Has it actually been confirmed? All I can find is that he's gone to Milan to discuss a deal.
 
I understand him wanting to go. I firmly believe he is the best defensive midfielder in the world. The best tackler I've seen, and his technique on the ball is excellent. He's a top, top player who doesn't fit out system. He deserves to start more than 10 games a season.

I'm proud that whenever they show THAT goal, he will be mentioned in it.

Goodbye Nige, modern day cult hero. Damn, this is depressing. :(
 
Cheers Nige.

Cut from the same cloth as Zaba. Rare commodity to have these days.

Shame to see him go and I hope it ended well for him at the club.
 
Considering that Mancini has on numerous occasions complained that we don’t have enough players, this can mean only one of two things; either

1. We can expect some major arrivals tomorrow,

or, more likely,

2. The widely reported rifts between Mancini and Marwood/owners are true and we are about to enter a period of back biting which will end with Mancini walking.

If the reported price of £3.5m is true, I can’t understand why we wouldn’t just keep him until the end of his contract and let him go on a free. At least that way, we get another year out of him.

Fucking gutted and just don’t understand it. Let’s hope option 1 comes to pass.
