Siem de Jong (still alive)


Recommended Posts

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.

De Jong was never all that but stood out in pre-season in a contained Pardew era that was as dull as dish water.  The same with Aarons, any kid that took on a player would always look good in a side with no creativity.

It really is a shame, he's the type of player that could be perfect for this league if he could get a run of games and toughen up a bit.

 

I don't think anyone has ever doubted his footballing ability
