"To date the only red card De Jong has received in his professional career was a sending off for two bookable offences in a match for Hamburg against Rapid Bucharest in the 2005–06 edition of the UEFA Cup."
Gazzetta and Sky both say that we are preferring De Jong over Lass Diarra. That's sensible and exactly what we should do. De Jong is younger and has characteristics our squad simply doesnt possess at the moment. Can potentially form an excellent partnership with Montolivo. Or be the sole DM in a diamond of sort, with Montolivo and Constant/Nocerino being the side CMs.
Diarra is actually younger i believe, by only a year or so. However out of the two i think de jong is much better and who we should be pursuing
I prefer Diarra as a player though not by much...
But the fact that the guy is so keen on his wages is a turn off. You will always prefer a player enthusiastic to join the team over one who doesn't really care.
Why would he change
Real Madrid, high wage to Milan low wage?
You cant blame him. It is Milan that you should blame if anyone.
From De Jong and Diarra, I can only see De Jong playing in our shirt/colours...........maybe because of Man City's away kit
Oh my god they're really getting him!
