Skirge Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Why would we spend money on Douglas when he's out of contract in the summer? We(fans) would because we need him now.. Ashley won't though as you point out he is free in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes times like these is when i know i am a fan and not a businessman who cares more about profits than staying in the division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Why would we spend money on Douglas when he's out of contract in the summer? A slightly lesser bargaining position from himself/wages and less competition as other clubs wait for the summer, I'm just trying to be optimistic here.

Tbf we can talk to him from the 1st about signing here on a free if his contract is up (some have said he might have an extension clause) so we can gauge his feeling to whether he'd want to join any case.

NewJerseyMag Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-and-newcastle-chase-france-defender-1510067 Liverpool and Newcastle are competing for France Under-21 defender Nicolas Isimat Mirin. The Paris-born defender has helped unfancied Valenciennes to sixth in Ligue 1. A product of France’s Clairefontaine academy, £3m Isimat Mirin (above) is under contract until 2014. His agent Mikkel Beck said: “Nicolas is ambitious. He wants to join a really big club and win trophies.” So much for that then. Win trophies.... :) Run away Nicolas, run away!

I still think, probably naively, that paying fee for him will slightly lessen his bargaining position. Obviously that's no reason for him to just wait it out himself but I would imagine paying a couple of million for someone gives them a weaker hand than them going for free and saying 'well I'm an £xm defender, show me the money!'.

JH Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 His agent Mikkel Beck said: “Nicolas is ambitious. He wants to join a wee club and have lots of positives to take from games.” Sign him up, Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Why would we spend money on Douglas when he's out of contract in the summer? Because we might be relegated by then. Therefore why waste the money when we'd need it then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 from what I've seen of him he's alright but nowt more. Hell he's behind James Collins (see numerous brummie rants on him for reference) in the West Ham side and isnt getting much playing time and even then some of its been in midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 James Collins and Winston Reid play ahead of him. Got games in midfield this season. Only time he's ever really looked much cop is in the Championshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
