Ronaldo Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Bent is more clinical and better in the air. Cisse's superior in every other respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 If it wasn't for that senile bastard we'd be celebrating our first first team signing of the window right now, and a good one on a free too.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayola Kid Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Got to wonder where Douglas will end up though, and how this will reflect on the judgement of the club for passing up on the deal. Some different opinions have been aired above as to whether it would have been JFK's decision or not given the timing of the revelation. Either way, I've only seen Fulham suggested as competition for his signature, and now we're hearing he may go to russia. If he was such a massive loss, rather than what feels like a significant event in the light of the turmoil this week, he'll end up at a decent club, yes? I'm one of the 99pc (suggested by a previous poster) who hasnt actually seen him play, so i cant fully digest the news that we've missed out until I have more information, and I think the name of his next club could fill in this gap to some extent?

Guest Yanga Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Could be more to this than Kinnear just calling it off. Imagine the player wants first-team football - can we give him that? Colo and YB should be two of the first names on the team sheet... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 There's no need for Douglas. I just found this european bottom half XI http://164.177.157.12/img/graphics/500.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Not bothered now that Colos staying.Two from Colo mym and Taylor with Willo 4th choice is gd enough for me. Striker and a pacy winger Is what we should be looking for IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker and a pacy winger Is what we should be looking for IMO Why settle for that, though? Why not improve the defence by getting rid of Willo and bringing in someone better? Douglas can't be much worse, doesn't cost much, and might even chip in with a goal now and then. Where's the ambition to improve, I ask ye? Eh? Eh? EEEEEEH?

He's easily better (and less injury prone) than Saylor, and a partnership of Colo and Mbiwa is just too weak, especially in the air. Your bog average build like an ox Premiership striker would have a field day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 If we had replaced Williamson with Douglas & Shola with Bent then that would have just been great football sense and business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Will be interesting to see what we are bringing in CB wise. Do we need another young up and comer or someone experienced like Lescott. Other than the stupid wages I'd pick someone experienced like the latter. We have Streete, Mbabu, Satka and Tavernier all at the club.. is someone young going to impede their progress? I'd rather they had another experienced hand to learn from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 We have a very bad record with promoting CB's from within. I think every good CB we've had in the last 15 or so years has been bought aside from Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Aren't we as bad for that in almost every position? Aye, most of the exceptions were bought at an fairly early age like Krul and N'Zogbia with a few more locals like Carroll and Shola. If you were to build a Geordie 11 from the last 15 years you'd probably be stuck with Taylor and Caldwell at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Surprised JFK didn't go for Douglas like, at least he has a name Joe could get on board with when they were sitting next to each other on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
