One I missed on Sunday

We already knew that no stone is left unturned when it comes to the club's transfer policy, but now it seems that Nigel de Jong is lending a helping hand, according to the Daily Star.

And when Nige rings, you make sure you pick up before the phone goes to voicemail ...
Here's what Steve Millar reckons: "Nigel de Jong is hoping to talk close friend Wesley Sneijder into joining him at Manchester City.
"De Jong and Sneijder came through the Ajax academy system together and have remained good pals. De Jong bigged-up life at Eastlands to Sneijder during last year’s World Cup in South Africa.
"And the City star has even been phoning Sneijder while he has been on holiday to tell him all about life in Manchester."
No, it probably won't trouble the judges at the best-writing awards, but we get the message ... some might consider it an offer you couldn't refuse.

Let's hope telling him how good life is in Manchester doesn't convince him to join the Rags though.

What a top signing that'd be if Nige pulls it off.
