Wouldn't mind either tbh but we are really missing someone of De Jong's ilk. Many City fans felt he shouldn't have been sold.
As a City fan really quite upset if you get De Jong, he will shelter your somewhat fragile defence sadly.
I think most City fans only saw 2 serious flaws in him;-
He didn't pass forward very often, at least for greater than 5 yards
His agent, who was also Tevez's agent, and who has been described by others as a snake (and that is being charitable). If he has shaken him you have a good signing
I think we might go for both now as time is running out and other options have clearly not happened.
Blind can play lb, lwb, cb & DM.
Not a huge fan of De Jong but in saying that.....he's still a lot better than what we've got right now in the team.
De Jong if we had to choose. I hope we get a top draw CB, however that is unlikely.
Happy with De Jong.... Didn't rate Blind that highly, but only seen him in the WC.

that's probably more to do with them ending up with ROdwell and Garcia instead.
De Jong is a thug and a City reject, I'd much rather we sign Blind
After watching those two today this really shouldn't be up for debate
Both would improve us.
The good thing with both these players is that LVG is probably better suited than any manager in the world to know if they are good enough having manged both very recently.
Mamadou's Funky Barber (You've been Sakho'd) (U16191)
maybe so, maybe so.
I've seen Meltonblue, a very intelligent poster, state on here that they shouldn't have got rid of De Jong and he was a very underrated player for them. My uncle and his two brats support the filth too and he reckons it was a big mistake to let him go too.
For his superior tactical awareness and technical attributes, I'd go with Blind. Blind has been judged here as a LB, he's a better CM.
I think ANY midfielder would be better than Fletcher or Cleverly or Fellaini.
