QUOTE Former Milan man Mark Van Bommel believes bringing in Nigel De Jong as his replacement was “their best signing of the summer.”
The Rossoneri have brought in the likes of Giampaolo Pazzini, Bojan Krkic and Francesco Acerbi, but De Jong was grabbed from Manchester City on transfer deadline day. “He is an excellent buy for Milan and he plays almost the same way as I do,” Van Bommel told Milan Channel. “De Jong is a bit like Rino Gattuso, in that he works both for the forwards and the defenders. He plays for the team. “He was their best signing of the summer. I think he will quickly settle in to Serie A, as all Dutch players tend to do. “He’s talented tactically and, although his technique isn’t perhaps exceptional, it is effective.” Van Bommel was one of several veterans who left San Siro this summer at the end of his contract and returned to his old club PSV Eindhoven. |

There's no hate, just disbelief and knowledge.

Lots of praises for his game last night from the Italian press.

Well, he does deserve some of it. He really was overall and did many good things, mostly denying Marchisio and Pirlo space to create. Good match.

I think he was great and the fact that I see him and Monto working together so well is even more important. And just goes to show how important it is to have a set starting 11 as this not only applies to the CB pairing but the midfielders and the front 3 |

Yeah. And we might just have solved the Noce and Boateng problem. :-) I would admittedly like someone a lot stronger on the right wing. Like a left footed SES or something.

Really rated de Jong and was delighted we signed him. For me he's justified the fee and while not the world's best in his position, is a fine player who does an excellent job for us.
He should be one of the first names on the sheet every match. |

He's been better than expected, but that's not saying much. Even Montolivo wins the ball back more than him still. Would definitely look for an upgrade in the summer for someone more mobile.

Is he really that good? I don't think I've ever seen him play.
