ponsaelius Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 There's an amazing amount of goodwill toward Siem. Some would say that if he were English or ginger he'd get slated. Not me though, I like him. FWIW I think he's shite and useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen of him, he's been slow and largely crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I read it as De Jong is not much of an athlete on the pitch, which is far more important these days than it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Aye. It's not really fitness, but athleticism and his skillset as a player. I hate how slow he is and the fact he can't dribble with the ball. I think you're basically on a hiding to nowt in the PL usually as an attacking midfielder with those attributes.

TRon Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Aye. It's not really fitness, but athleticism and his skillset as a player. I hate how slow he is and the fact he can't dribble with the ball. I think you're basically on a hiding to nowt in the PL usually as an attacking midfielder with those attributes. You could get by if you were a bit more physically robust like Nolan who had those attributes. I think De Jong has some qualities, just don't think he'll shine in English football because he's made of glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Think some of you would be proven very wrong if he could stay fit, he won't though (prove me wrong Siem!). Yes he's slow, but he looks to have excellent awareness and good technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 There's an amazing amount of goodwill toward Siem. Some would say that if he were English or ginger he'd get slated. Not me though, I like him. I'll say it. Was pap in the relegation season when he played. Was ok against Spurs and Liverpool - little in the way of quality. Next game missed a sitter. Always injured. Season before he scored a few and looked a talent. But I have little hope for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Mag Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Crystal Palace are interested in signing Newcastle flop Siem de Jong, according to reports. De Jong, who signed for the Magpies in 2014, spent last season on loan at PSV. His Newcastle career has been plagued by injuries, but Eagles boss Frank de Boer is keen on a reunion with the striker. The pair worked together at Ajax for four years, winning four successive Eredivisie titles. Despite returning to Newcastle in the summer, De Jong is not in manager Rafa Benitez’s first-team plans. He is behind Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic in the pecking order. The Dutch international would play second fiddle to Christian Benteke at Selhurst Park, but could rediscover the form he showed under De Boer in Holland. http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/15465072.Crystal_Palace_interested_in_signing_Premier_League_flop/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 He's one player I'd like to keep for the moment. Unless we get a really creative CM in, we should try keep him. Hopefully, he stays fit too. There are other shitty player that we could get rid off first. The guy that poked him in the eye, being one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
