Defenders linked for Summer Transfers (3 Viewers)

info about de jong:

Nigel de Jong
Date of birth: 30.11.1984
Country: Netherlands
Position: Midfield

Nigel de Jong is a slight but strong young defender or midfield player who looks set for a fine future.

National team
A Dutch youth international, De Jong was played regularly in qualifying for the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He made his senior debut against France on 31 March 2004, but missed UEFA EURO 2004™ and has since alternated between the U21 and FIFA World Cup qualifying squads.

Club
Born in November 1984, he broke into the Ajax first team in 2002/03 at the age of 17, playing ten games in the UEFA Champions League and 17 in the Eredivisie. De Jong's first goal for the club was a crucial one, earning Ajax a 1-1 Champions League draw at Highbury. Frequently employed as a substitute at the start of the 2003/04 season, De Jong capitalised on the absence of Hatem Trabelsi through injury and international duty to stake a claim for the right-back position. He made 23 starts as Ajax reclaimed the Eredivisie crown from PSV Eindhoven.

2004/05: Became a regular choice as he switched to midfield, scoring five Eredivisie goals for the runners-up and also against Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC in the UEFA Champions League as Ajax salvaged a brief UEFA Cup run.

Did you know?
His father Jerry was a Dutch international in the 1990s.

Gonzalo is great, but he is very much like Cannavaro, so when Fabio call it a day, he would be the perfect replacement. What we need another Thuram, strong, tall and good in the air and ground. Gallas is not bad, but that Vincent Kompany is better !

Gonzalo could play next to Cannavaro though as he is adept in the air as well as excellent at reading the game, man marking and tackling. Cannavaro isn't a very tall defender but he is a superb reader of the game and has a very good jump so he wins more than his share of headers despite his height (or lack of).

Both Rodriguez and Cannavaro r also good in the air and ground
but i agree kompany (and senderos) is a better replacement for thuram because gonzalo,chivu and fabio aren't that strong and tall

Well he is a talented player with real skills. He can play as rightback, leftback, central defender and in the centre or on the right of the midfield he is really a player that can play everywhere, that is actually one of the reasons that he's going to leave ajax for free because he always has to switch his position and he got sick and tired of it. I really think he can add depth to our squad.

If Moggi goes for some of the names already posted like kompany,rodriguez,chivu and senderos (and since Capello already stated his admiration for vincent,cristian and phillipe i think it's possible ) I doubt Nigel is needed.. unless like AHKA said,for adding depth and some needed youth to our squad either way,we could be kinda covered in defense,and for midfield i'd only take Hedwiges Maduro from Ajax..he remembers me a more disciplined Davids

PS: tks for the info Stephan and AHKA

No comment about De Jong but he seems like a good potential. Nevertheless what we need is a central defender. It seems we will have enough stock for our wingbacks.

Right On Or we could get him to get someone else on a trade deal

Would of been nice to have got an option on Gonzalo with the Tacchinardi deal at Villareal.

This's why i rate u high,u always think about everything is that a possibility or merely a wish Mark?

 

[Mark]

more of a wish.

thanks for the appreciation.

 

[KroniK]

From what i've seen so far u tend to think alike Moggi so maybe ur wish (and mine's too) will come true and we'll get Gonzalo

As for the appreciation,u earned it

 

[Desmond]

There's a fair bit of transfer activity to look forward to this summer. Nedved will probably be replaced, Thuram will face struggle to play week in week out next season as well so we might get a defender or two. Apart from that a squad player to add another option off the bench would be welcome.

Sounds Juveish enough to me!

 

[Mr. Gol]

Nigel de Jong is a right midfielder, although he can play central midfield, right back and centre back when needed. He's actually leaving Ajax because he was sick of being moved around the team all the time. So I don't see him coming here...

 

[Eire]

gonzalo is good and should not be too expensive, i know chivu would be costly but if he does leave roma this summer i would be hugly disappointed if he does not join juve.

i think kompany is way to expensive for an unproven young player. with the money that it would cost to sign kompany juve prob would get chivu and gonzalo both of whom i think are better than kompany anyway and more juve like defenders

Pazzini e um jovem avançado italiano que joga na Fiorentina
O Gianluca Vialli diz que ele vai ser o futuro da selecçao italiana
Tem muito talento,e ja marcou 1 golo contra nos (Zlatan e Trez fizeram o mesmo a selecçao italiana por isso..)
Acho que vai ser melhor que o Gilardino!
I'm watching him closely this season..
