KDT Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Article basically says he's close to joining Liverpool but staying with Valenciennes until the end of the season. We are also interested and they need to sell at least 1 player this transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 interested in a french centre half who plays for Valenciennes by the name of Isimat Nicholas-Mirin according to french site le10sport.

Skeletor Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Have to admit that whilst he sounds promising I was hoping for someone more experienced at centre back. He seems like the kind we should be signing in the summer so that we can finally get rid of Williamson all together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 he could well be a really good player but we need a experienced centre back, can't bring a kid in who will need time to adapt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Because he's young don't mean he wouldn't be capable of doing a job straight away. Bigi has been an example of that and bigi is 3 years younger than this lad. Anyone with experience of playing week in week out in a major league is good enough for me. I would prefer Douglas but beggars cant be choosers in this situation as we need defenders asap. 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.

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!'.
