Siem de Jong (still alive)

[Sammys_Tekkers]

Have no hard feelings towards him about his time here, but I'm glad he's gone. Hope he manages to put his injury troubles behind him.

[louistoon]

Really wanted him to succeed here and wish him well for the future. Seems like a sound guy

[Stifler]

I'm glad he's gone but have no ill feelings towards him and wish him well. His failure here was more down to injuries and just not adapting, rather than not bothering to try.

So that article is basically "Two dutch media outlets say different prices and I'm going with the lower one in my opinion."

Siem De Jong's told he can leave Ajax to joing Sydney FC after disappointing return to Holland

Newcastle United's former injury prone midfielder is now facing life in the Australian A-League

Siem De Jong is expected to sign for Sydney FC after an unsuccessful return to Ajax.

 

The Holland international was told he was surplus to requirements at Newcastle United last summer after returning from a loan stint with PSV Eindhoven.

 

De Jong, 29, spent three injury-ravaged years with the Magpies and was told not to expect game-time with Newcastle last summer.

 

And his return to the Netherlands hasn’t worked out either after earning legendary status in his first stint at the club.

 

Ajax’s director of football Marc Overmars has confirmed De Jong is now expected to sign for the Australian A League outfit.

 

Sydney’s Steve Corica said: “He has got a very good pedigree.

 

“We’re looking for players like that, we want good quality coming to the club.

 

“Hopefully in the next three or four days we can confirm who the marquee will be, but he’s one of the players that we have spoken to, but there’s been quite a few of them.

 

“We’ve looked at over 450 players this season, so it’s been a long journey and there’s still more coming in at the moment.

 

“We’ve just got to take our time and make sure we get the right player that fits into the way we want to play.”

Siem de Wollongong

Down under? Six foot under more like.

[Minhosa]

Career's over. Weird one.

[George Bailey]

Keep the useless, accident prone fucker away from the dunnies then.

Obvious candidate for the venomous spiders and assorted creepy crawlies to be targeting..

[LRD]

Some weird injuries he had. Collapsed lungs (twice?), eye injury.

[shakey jake]

still can't get over that header he missed against villa

[Karjala]

Started our relegation slide.

[xLiaaamx]

 

We were going down long before that.

[joeyt]

We weren't like

[Kanj]

He signed for Newcastle and his career went down the drain shortly thereafter.

[Raconteur]

Sydney's my team in our shitty little league, so I'm moderately excited. Of course, as a Toon fan, I know he'll play six games, tops.

Never saw anyone so highly rated if only within his own country, hit the ball so tamely. Not for us anyway.he had a shot once and it was like a back pass, the ‘keeper just put his foot on it to stop the ball. Can’t remember who it was against, mind can’t remember much of his time here so non descript it was.

You could be talking about his brother here.

Think he is talking about Luuk there

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Fuck we had two of them? Robledos they were not!

 

The whole Pardew/McClaren years are vastly becoming a blur to me like.

Siem actually looked half decent the couple of times he was fit. Luuk looked like he had never played football before Was a token late January loan, so not surprised anyone would forget about him like.

[Odear]

Decent bloke but no real fight in him.

 

Had high hopes for him when he first signed..

[Dave]

Both of them were absolutely useless.

Definitely Luuk, I remember that shot. Siem had fine technique he was just never on the pitch long enough that we remember it.
