[Minstrels]

He looks like a mean bugger. God help Newcastle next week, Bellamy and De Jong.

Good signing.

Manchester City Football Club are delighted to announce that the signing of Nigel de Jong from Hamburg SV for an undisclosed fee has been completed.The 24-year-old Dutch midfielder with 29 international caps inked in a four-and-a-half year contract after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical earlier today.
De Jong, who played against City in the pre-season friendly at the HSV Nordbank Arena in July, joined Hamburg from Ajax in 2006 and was a team-mate of City’s summer signing Vincent Kompany.
Nigel becomes the Blues' second signing of the week following the arrival of Craig Bellamy, and along with the former Hammer, de Jong's squad number is yet to be confirmed.

300m on three players, or 300m on a new team? Has to be the second option, for both Man City fans and everyone else.

Haven't seen much of him before, looking forward to seeing him play. Especially with the 15m price tag.
