RUMOUR - Douglas

[gazzer, loyal royal]

According to Dutch football magazine Voetbal International, Reading have joined the chase for FC Twente defender Douglas. Newcastle United have held a long-standing interest in Douglas, who has also been linked with Inter Milan. Twente could sell the player in this transfer window to avoid losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

You get this from Sky Sports??? They have reported in on their site too

Hammond is currently working on getting him in for a Mars Bar, a 50 pence coin and an umbrella

Reading, NUFC and Inter all interested (concrete) in signing Douglas, contract ends this summer, Twente willing to work on a transfer.

He doesn't get much to do with Dutch football wrong tbh. Can't see any reason Douglas would choose Inter or Newcastle over us tbf.

What quality umbrella? If it's a decent enough one then you're looking at the cost being at least £9.99, so i don't believe you are being serious.

So just because we have signed 2 players who have 6 months left we are being linked with every player who is on the verge of being able to leave on a bosman.

[Cobi]

No chance.

[RobRoyal]

Would be great, I'll love this man if he signs.

[Reading4eva]

Heres the action shot



Wonder if for a double mars bar, teepee and a bottle of Peckham Springs we get his brother Donald too

If Pearce signs a new contact, i think we have enough with him Morrison and Mapps

Yes,add in Gorkss and you have the 4 who have contributed to our position of 2nd bottom and just 2 games won.

Anyone been to the Isle of Man? Douglas is nice.

Those 3 are fresh. Just were left exposed by a 442 formation with no midfield protection

I think it was a bit subtle. Got there eventually though.

Is this part of McDermott's plan to make us unbeatable?

...................Federici
Gunter, Pearce, Douglas, Mariappa, Harte
......Karacan, Legs, Sunzu, Carrico
....................Rogic

[GreaterTorontoRoyal]

From what I remember from my Dutch friends, they seem to rate him.
He is good enough to play in the Netherlands' defense. However, many Dutchmen don't want him to be capped because he supposedly doesn't speak any Dutch.

IF we are going for him, can we at least make it a double swoop for Nikolay Mihaylov?
