Totally agree and called it as soon as he picked up the injury for Liverpool.
His heel injury (picked up at West Ham) could have been a career finisher if he didn't have top drawer help.
I know a guy who was a very good semi-pro player and he ended his career with that injury just 3 years ago.
Apparently (so he reckons) it can go again with too much weight applied to the heel (i.e: landing off balance) and is more widely known in basketball circles.
My feeling is he'll suffer injuries throughout his career a la DF.
10/1 on SkyBet, looks very good value that like.
No goalscorer is also 10/1 which means that if an OG nicks a win for someone you would still get a pay out.
Maybe worth considering.
I've just done that predictor and ended up with:
Chelsea Champions
Sunderland surviving by one point.
Fulham, Cardiff and Norwich going down.
Us in 10th.
Even now, I still think they'll stay up. Said it all season and not gonna change my mind.
Still have a sneaking fancy that Norwich will go due to their run-in.
I'd take him but only on the basis we were signing someone else, with a bit of pace to replace Remy.
In many respects, you'd have to build an attack around de Jong but it could work out I reckon, with a three up top.
