Ouch. Free transfer and everything, and the deal is off. TLers that watch Eredivisie, how good is Douglas? I hear he is one of the best defenders in the league. + Show Spoiler +
he's a beast on FM, at least

Sky Sports understands that the decision was made by new director of football Joe Kinnear.

He's big and strong, apart from that he makes a shitload of mistakes. But then again, when you look at the majority of the defenders in the PL who are basically just big and strong but have no ball control at all, he would fit in nicely at a mid-tier team like Newcastle.

Also, being the best defender in the Eredivisie isn't something to be necessarily proud of. Most Dutch criticasters usually say 'well we play some fun football, it's always exciting, but we can't defend at all' which shows in the national team as well lol.

Douglas is a good pure defender and very solid, as long as you have a player next to him or in front of him that comes and pick up the ball from him. If not he makes a shitload of mistakes and can be a vulnerability, don't expect him to actually be good with the ball.

@Twisted, I disagree that Eredivisie only has bad defenses. Ajax has a good defense and Feyenoord conceded almost nothing from open play.

Since we are on the topic of Eredivisie, can you tell me if Djuricic is as good as it seems? And if you think that Sulejmani is already dead for footbal (although he is only 24)l? Cuz Benfica signed them both this season Djuricic for 6M€ and Sulejmani on a free transfer.

Djuricic is a good player, he is the reason Heerenveen managed to finish as strongly as they did. I don't think he's better than Gaitan, but he's young and has the potential at least. Sulejmani I'll leave to the Ajax supporters

Benfica will probably sell Gaitan. So we kinda need a replacement. But we already got Markovic from Partizan, so Djuricic is kinda of a replacement for the replacement, i guess

That won't happen... It looks like we're trying to get Jorge Jesus to an Arsene Wenger Status. We play beautiful football, but we can't win anything...

It'd be the club record transfer (by a lot), but it's so worth it.

Anyone know what's going on with thiago(might not be the right spelling, under 21 Spain captain at barca) Apprently he has a 18 mil buyout clause and man u are heavily linked with him. Is this likely to happen?

I think everyone is in for him at the moment if you follow the press. Chelsea Man Utd are quoted in English press, but im pretty sure he wont leave Barca? Be silly if he does no? xD

Sadly it could happen, he is not the smartest guy around and he has a lot of guys to compete in his spot. I wish we would sell Pedro and Cesc instead of Tello and Thiago, if any, so it will probably be the other 2 >.>

His smug attitude is not really loved around here either, never has. We kicked Balotelli from the barça school as a kid xD Team > all.

Hehe well I can agree with that but on the whole you see some laughable defending. I guess that's true for all leagues though so you win this one :p
