Siem de Jong (still alive)


Recommended Posts

That header keeps replaying in my mind each time his name comes up. Along with that infamous eye injury he got.

 

Edit: didn't he also have a collapsed lung, from, as many here joked, going skydiving? :lol:

They weren't at the same time. One of his lungs collapsed twice. Apparently that's pretty common, so could happen again...

 

It will happen again. It's Siem de Jong.

He certainly does.

 

I've been so disappointed in his fitness problems, as there's talent and leadership there, it's just so frustrating to never see it due to injury.

He went from title winning captain to an utter sicknote, I hope he can prove his fitness a little better this season (if he stays of course)

 

I'll have to google how his loan went..

 

..23 apps 6 goals, not too bad!

Good for him. I've got a lot of time for de Jong. He could do a similar job for us that Viduka did in 2008, if he could stay fit.

 

As with Viduka, that's an absurd expectation, unfortunately.

I doubt he'll ever have the physical attributes required to be 'class' for us, but who knows? We may yet have a fairly decent option/back-up for the number 10 position. I have faith that Rafa can improve just about anyone. Not Riviere.
