ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 FWIW when I asked on BigSoccer Ajax and AZ fans both said the same thing. Anita = excellent, Douglas = physical but clumsy and error prone. Twente fan was the only one who said Douglas was excellent. But it's worth noting exactly the same pattern happened with Tiote before we signed him. I guess Dutch people are just snobs to actual defending, as we saw at the Euros Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Fans of the other clubs often only remember errors that they see on highlights. Coloccini was "shit" for like 3 years and probably still some think he is. Also remember us having it totally wrong regarding Everton\Villa\Spurs defenders and respected posters telling us otherwise. Hibbert is class tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Fat Sam buying Maiga and now in for Douglas and Carroll as well. Good to see his Newcastle complex is almost the size of the metro centre by this stage. Fat cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Not sure who is leaking all our transfer dealings this summer but it cannot be helping us. Unless it was us and were playing a game with everyone pretending to sign other players (not likely) much prefer the quiet out of the blue signings of last year.

toontownman Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Sorry should have put a question mark on the end or something.. just speculating.. not MJ or anything, although there is a 50/50 chance of him being here or not come September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roland Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Here another Dutchman wh is not too sure about Douglas and am not a FCT/Ajax and surely no Feyenoord fan If you really are that good, than he should show it very week, especially when the team sruggles (like Twente last year). Off course, he is physical strong and that is his advantage in the NL league, but he will lose that in England. But I really doubt his mental ability to play for NU. He had lost it several times in a big game (getting unneeded cards or making mistakes). Further, his build up play and pasing is really poor for me. But always difficult to say how someone will adapt/develop. Tiote was not a regular starter at Twente and Bryan Ruiz was the best player in our league 2/3 years ago.

Guest Roland Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yes, so I fully understand that you are looking for a central defender, but I assume that NU wants to improve as much as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Quotes this evening saying he knows of no bid FC Twente-verdediger Douglas zegt niets te weten van het bod dat Newcastle United deze week op hem deed. De Engelse club wil Douglas graag inlijven en heeft 4,5 miljoen euro voor hem over. ,,Ik weet niets van een bod en mijn zaakwaarnemer ook niet", reageert Douglas na afloop van FC Twente - Inter Turku (1-1). ,,Ook van Twente heb ik er niks over gehoord. Voor mij is het niet concreet. Ik wil gewoon bij FC Twente blijven." De Brazilaanse verdediger, inmiddels genaturaliseerd tot Nederland, speelde tegen Inter Turku voor het eerst deze voorbereiding 90 minuten. ,,Ik ben nog niet helemaal fit, maar het ging goed. Zij zakten natuurlijk ook heel erg in, dus voor een verdediger was het niet zo'n zware wedstrijd. Met het resultaat ben ik niet tevreden, we hadden meer moeten scoren." Voetbal My google translate is playing up if someone could help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roland Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Translation: Douglas or his agent doesn't know anything about a bid so it is not a issue for him. At this moment, I want to stay at Twente.'' The rest about the game of today, disappointing 1-1 draw against Finnish Inter Turku at home. Munsterman gave a short interview, stating 'no contact with other clubs currently for any of our players". Same old transfer games it seems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
