Popular Post ferguson1 Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 Will be a shame if he goes and think he’s quite underrated by some on here. However, he’s certainly not irreplaceable, so be interesting to see what the club do next. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roma has been a very interesting project for the Special One so far. It's the first job he's ever had where he has been given a lot of time to build "his team" from the ground up. Dougie will boss the midfield there and the same folks moaning about how shit of a DM he is now will complain about how little of a fee we got for him when he turns into a superstar within a few seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon66 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Maybe Roma would like to offer Mancini the CB as part of the deal....think he'd be great for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Not sure why people keep suggesting Roma players they should offer. The ones mentioned have longer contracts and worth a lot more than Luiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 18 Mill +10-15% sell on clause is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being even less with a bigger % of add-ons. I would expect Doug plans to take a 4 year deal then leave on a free again to secure himself another nice signing on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Was hoping with a proper number 6 next to him he’d show what he is all about in the more advance role, just have to see his goals a few seasons back from outside the box to know he’s got that in his locker, but stuck with bloody McGinn who just doesn’t suit possession based football, if gerrard is going to play this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Coming around to thinking his game may be better suited to Italy where it’s tends to be played at a slower pace. He’s underrated for sure by some and I’ll miss him but we will move pretty quickly … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It seems we are prepared to sell if the price is right or with a sell on clause that reflects a lower fee, because Douglas hasn't signed a new contract. The ball is now in Roma's court to make us an acceptable offer. If they don't, we face holding onto him and having him leave for nothing at the end of next season, which won't suit us, and possibly Douglas if he threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain the last time that he was in Rome.

Not much we can do unfortunately, we either accept a much lower fee than we would want or lose him for nothing next summer. Depending on how much Roma offer, if it's too low i'd be inclined to keep him until his contract runs out, would give us good strength and depth in midfield if we sign another #8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AntrimBlack Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 I would like him to agree a new contract, on the back of us confirming to him that he would be played as an 8. I think he is a really good player, much superior to McGinn. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
