Nigel de Jong DEAL DONE!
By: j | January 21st, 2009
The deal to bring Nigel de Jong to Manchester City from Hamburger SV has been finalized with a rumoured fee of €19.5m.
The 24-year-old Netherlands international signed a four year agreement with the club and is leaving for Tenerife training camp shortly. He said via the club web-site:
“I feel very good and for me it is the next step in my own career after three years in Germany and I hope to be successful here at Manchester City.
“The ideas and the planning behind this Club are very hopeful and it’s a new adventure so I’m delighted to be here right now.”
“The Stadium looks great and I think it can only be better when it’s full of people.
“I’m looking forward to playing here and everybody knows that the Premier League is maybe the biggest competition in the world.”

Hawk: I appreciate your contribution so please continue posting.
I thought I comment a great deal of the clubs operations but also want readers to share their opinions. This is supposed to be “fun” where we talk openly.
However your comment is obviously valid and I will spell my opinions out more if that is of interest
As far as transfers I have stated in the past and it has rarely seen a response, that I prefer development from the Academy and true “Club” play that has disappeared over the last twenty-plus years.
Unfortunately this is something that would need to be implemented in conjunction with a sport wide regulation or it would lead to imbalances, which it already has to some degree.
