KaKa Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I don't know if we are really going for him, but his response is in no way negative. He's saying exactly what he should as nothing has gone through yet and so he is focused on his Hamburg career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Martin Jol was desperate to sign De Jong for us when he was at Ajax. Fee was agreed but De Jong chose Hamburg. Doubt Jol would be willing to let him leave for as little as £3 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why? Cos i got told off. I didn't mean to scold you. I was trying (failing though, clearly) to get you to "accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm messing. I don't think there was anything in the De Jong thing anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Personally, I think he is one of the best defensive midfielders in Germany. Howay Keegan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 He hasnt ruled out signing for us and i for one would be delighted to sign him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think his interview is more about that he is just thinking about playing for Hamberg and thats what his club would want him to be saying, its the kind of interview all clubs would want to see their players doing when linked with moves to other clubs. I still say try to agree a fee and see if we can lure him here.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny that some people on here see an interview like that where he says "its up to the club" and thinks he's stuck on to sign for us but when Oba does nearly an identical interview and its like "he's going no where!"

Guest elbee909 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 He's just an older or younger version of some other player that's more expensive or cheaper. Typical of this board to be aiming this low, or high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Dutch midfielder Nigel De Jong has rejected talk linking him with a move to Newcastle, saying he is focusing on the new season at Hamburg. Wednesday's Sun reported the Magpies were lining up a move for the 23-year-old after being impressed by his performances during Euro 2008. "I am in HSV now and I am concentrating on the new season," De Jong told Spox. "Everything else, whether there are other offers, does not interest me. "Sure, if you have a good European Championship then it's easy to get one or the other offer but, for me, this is not so important. "I am just focused on HSV."

It was the Oba interview that made me think that, sure Oba would go to the Gooners if they made an offer and we chose to acept it but he aint gonna go on TV andd say he wants to leave, Barry did not do that to Villa until Liverpool had made an offer. If we do make an offer that gets accepted for Nigel De Jong then I am sure he would talk to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Loayalty clauses and all that tend to have quite an impact in cases like this. However, if their club accepts a bid then the situation can change very quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Nee progress on this like? He wouldn't be a bad choice for DM. Naturally Alan's headline would be along the lines of making plans for Nigel..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 He would be an awesome player for us one whom we can build great success on. I like De Jong very much in our side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
