Nigel de Jong

[Gurgen]

His contract at Ajax is expiring and he wants to leave.

He can play every single position in defence and midfield. In my humble opinion he is a class, class player, better than Sneijder, and a real fighter on the pitch. He can shoot, pass, finish, tackle and head the ball. Robin van Persie is his best friend, he knows Henry personally and Arsenal is his favourite club.

This is a golden chance to get him tbh, before Manure snatch him and they have a midfield again. Pull your finger out Monsieur Wenger!

 

[Gazza Martinez]

De Jong would be a superb buy, mainly because of - as you said - his combination of versatility, tenacity, and technique. Only drawback is he's a midget and he's cup-tied. I'd take him in a second though.

 

[Gurgen]

He's not that small, 1.74m. About as tall as Reyes.

we need height not midgets

 

[Gurgen]

Have you even watched De Jong play you tool?

 

[daniel]

I would agree that De Jong would definitely be a great player to buy...
He is a universal player as far as the midfield and defence are concerned. He would make our team stronger...you can't argue with that...
Then we would finaly be able to say bye bye Cygan!

 

[kamikaze80]

he would be the ultimate squad player due to his versatility, and i mean that in a good way. we need a bit of touch and technique (as well as a warm body) in exactly the positions he plays.

to get him on a free would be amazing; who needs youngsters when you can get a youngster who has already proven himself, and all the expense/risk of training him has been borne by another club? plus, he actually wants to be here!

 

[Gunner4Eva]

Well, if it is possible, then we should definately make an attempt at going for him. It'd be good to see him as I've always considered him a good talent.

I wonder if he'll play midweek against us.

Big fan of De Jong, and was a little disappointed when the rumours linking him with the Mancs last summer surfaced. He still seems available, and would be well worth a look, in my view.

 

[Nisty]

Arséne take out your fishing pole and pull him to our shore!

I'm 100% convinced he would choose us over ManU if we actually went for him.

The more good Dutch players the better

why dont we just sign crouch and throw him in the midfield?

 

[Mark]

Yeah I'd take De Jong. Even if he were only as a squad player he'd be very useful with his versatility and all.

 

[dev_atdi]

Always been an admirer. Both in real life and Football Manager. He's very versatile indeed; he wouldn't cost much, too.

seriously, did you just use "Football Manager" as part of your thoughts?

 

[Army of Me]

if we can get either de jong or sneijder (or both!) i'd be a very happy boy.

looking forward to seeing them both on wednesday.

 

[Viper]

De Jong is an excellent player. I'd grab him in an instant if we could.

And he isn't that small, senderos05. He is alot bigger than Scholes, who is about 170 cm. De Jong is 4 cm bigger than him.

pha2er, yes Sneijder would be a great buy, can play anywhere across the midfield, but he is an attack minded midfielder and we need a defensive midfielder.

 

[Lord Dula]

Yes would be a nice signing

 

[Corny]

Would be a seriously good signing if he's as good as I've seen him previously.

Very atheltic, versitile player and a good experience young player. Yes I'd like us to get him, and he'd be free.

Infact there's a few Ajax players who might be up for grabs cheap or free!
