Oh lord! That's brilliant. It's also a Giggs from earlier in the thread... So I'll ask the same question... Does 4 down not remind you of someone...

This game should of been part of the season ticket... Be lucky to get £25-30k...

Basically Douglas is happy to stay and Twente might need to keep him anyway due to an injury to their other key defender... Seems like our interest is because we could loose Colo... Ruiz didn't want to leave last year but when he did he choose Fulham over us despite us having a helicopter ready if he changed his mind in the 11th hour...

Why? If we sign Douglas and he proves to be a better player then I don't see what would be wrong with that. Tomorrows Journal headline is about Taylor not fearing new signings...

Dave's short version just as good to be honest... You are here › Home › › FC Twente FC Twente would quickly clarity about Douglas FC Twente wants clarity quickly about Douglas Sunday, August 26, 2012-22: 46 ENSCHEDE-Twente wants clarity on Douglas as soon as possible. Tuesday evening the club wants to know whether the Defender departs or remains still a year in Enschede. Douglas says that he would like to remain at FC Twente, he wiil while previously many times left to know to a new club. Fulham had interest, but not according to English sources have indicated to Douglas would club trainer Martin Jol and Bryan Ruiz wanting to relocate. Newcastle United has also already months interest and is an interesting club for the Brazilian Dutchman. If the English club still what does, it should be quick. Twente would not be raided again on the last day with a tranfser. Bryan Ruiz became the last season on August 31, according to President Joop Munsterman still lost a big surprise. A replacement was no longer so fast for hands and that has the club the whole season haunted. The '' Twentsche Courant Tubantia Monday more about Douglas in

Not sure if Giggs but seems he prefers us over Fulham... I think... U bevindt zich hier › Home › FC Twente › FC Twente wil snel duidelijkheid over Douglas FC Twente wil snel duidelijkheid over Douglas zondag, 26 augustus, 2012 - 22:46 ENSCHEDE - FC Twente wil zo snel mogelijk duidelijkheid over Douglas. Dinsdagavond wil de club weten of de verdediger vertrekt of toch nog een jaar in Enschede blijft. Douglas zegt dat hij graag wiil blijven bij FC Twente, terwijl hij eerder vele malen liet weten toe te zijn aan een nieuwe club. Fulham had belangstelling, maar Douglas zou volgens Engelse bronnen hebben aangegeven niet naar de club van trainer Martin Jol en Bryan Ruiz te willen verkassen. Newcastle United heeft ook al maanden belangstelling en is wel een interessante club voor de Braziliaanse Nederlander. Als de Engelse club echter nog wat wil, moet het snel zijn. Twente wil niet weer op de laatste dag worden overvallen met een tranfser. Vorig seizoen raakte het op 31 augustus Bryan Ruiz kwijt, volgens voorzitter Joop Munsterman toch nog een grote verrassing. Een vervanger was destijds niet meer zo snel voor handen en dat heeft de club het hele seizoen achtervolgd. Maandag meer over Douglas in De Twentsche Courant Tubantia Edit: Same old same old after closer inspection other than more likely he will move rather than stay as Twente tempted to cash in now...

Has always struck me as someone who will need service/chances which isn't our strong point... Was hoping for a pacy forward that could spin off and run down the channels more...

Getafe consistently average the poorest crowds in La Liga. Most of their "fans" are bored Real Madrid fans that want to see football the weekends Real Madrid play away. It's a bit of a pity, since they are excellently well run and have been punching above their weight for years. Considering its no more than 15 mile from Madrid that is quite a damming sign of football fans in Spain...

Mental, hasn't Demp said he wants European football? He wanted Champions League football... But when Jol pointed out Liverpool weren't in the CL I think his aspirations became more realistic...

Maybe we should have a banner made up like the one AC Milan have today...

I'm sure that a nobody like Wenger will listen to their sage advice, after all what he ever done compared to their achievements in football......... @CaulkinTheTimes: Wenger: "Tiote is a good player, but he's not on the way to Arsenal." #Afc #Nufc

Yep...not sure if thats him 3 down as well but in an older top...

So Tevez COULD speak English all along...

Weirdos Not reckon 4 down reminds you of someone...

In reality this thread is a week early... The arrival of Debuchy... Douglas... a forward... will change most current perceptions as will a major departure... For what it's worth I can't see anyone leaving other than Simpson if Debuchy comes in and Zaha possibly... Douglas would be a nice bonus... I think the problem with the Debuchy deal is the size of the offers coming in for Simpson being not as high as the club hoped as much as the fee Lille have placed on Debuchy...

Good result for us TBF...

Got a feeling after listening to Harper talking about his conversation with AP that he'll play in this one also...

I would say the only time this partnership has been close to working was Cisse's debut against Villa. My gut feeling though is that the Ba-Cisse partnership will work in time... They don't appear to try and play as a pair which doesn't help matters... Always too far apart imo...

How much does the text cost?

Wonder if he'll feature today... Has normally done well against City in the past iirc... Will be interesting to see how Rodgers manages the situation pre transfer window closing though the signs up to now would suggest not very well...

Bizarre... He seemed to be pulling them together slowly and like you say unbeaten after 3...

Based on what? Amalfitano and Lovenkrands comparison ffs. Whats wrong with that?... Both were attacking wide midfielders... It was only later on in his career that PL began to play as more of a central striker...

Based on what? Position in squad replacement... Maybe "-" would of been clearer than ">" Wasn't stating who was better etc... Just simplifying how we were rotating/refreshing the squad...

Amalfitano > Lovenkrands Bigi > Smith (Tiote rotation then replacement within 24month) Good > Kadar Anita > Guthrie ?TBA? > Best My hunch for replacing Best is Wilfried Zaha as i don't think he'll go for anywhere near £10m due to Palace's problems ... And obviously i get no prizes for suggesting we plan to upgrade Simpson with Debuchy with my only doubts being that Simpson is 2yrs younger which is why the board feel they might not be getting the value they originally thought they might from Debuchy before the Euros now his price seems to have risen... Douglas being only 24 and 12 month left on a low wage contract hints as a typical if we can get him lets get him deal as it is a position we need cover for and even potential upgrade if he adapts... Can't see too many surprises this week in short...
