gbandit Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If they've paid 12.5m euros with only a 2m max on top, I think that's a cracking deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We "only" offered 10 million GBP in the end, didn't we? Seems like we weren't a million miles off, which is a shame, but presumably the player had his heart set on joining BMG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just found this. FC Twente coach Steve McClaren explained why Luuk De Jong chose Borussia Monchengladbach over a move to Newcastle United. McClaren, who's in his second spell at FC Twente believed the lure of Champions League football over Europa League football was the biggest reason. "Luuk is the smart one, his brain comes in different ways. He came to me and asked the opinion of me, I told him to go to the heart and ask it for its desire. Luuk came back to the reality and realised the dream of Champions League football. I told him the Newcastle is a good team, but the team who only play against team from the Israel, and the Bulgaria. Luuk laughed and I laughed the mouth, we drank the wine and ate the cheese, and together got the conclusion it merited." www.googletranslate.com/englishtodutchviamcclarenstyle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 An actual quote from the player today probably goes a long way towards explaining why he chose them over us in my opinion: Despite the interest of a number of clubs this was a very conscious decision. I wanted to be brought in as a first choice striker in a team that plays attacking football under a manager renowned for talent development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 De Jong was a wanted man Newcastle United only failed to sign Luuk de Jong because they could not agree a deal with former club FC Twente, according to the Dutch striker's agent. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7930592/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ilsteir Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 An actual quote from the player today probably goes a long way towards explaining why he chose them over us in my opinion: Despite the interest of a number of clubs this was a very conscious decision. I wanted to be brought in as a first choice striker in a team that plays attacking football under a manager renowned for talent development. I'd agree with that reasoning. Guaranteed playing time is likely to be a major motivation when considering his development and the Bundesliga is less demanding than the EPL for a striker. He is also keen on the number 9 spot for the national team. He is a more complete center-forward than either Huntelaar or Van Wolfswinkel and I can see Van Gaal replace Van Persie with De Jong soon enough.
