And if you believe what the Mirror has to say on the matter it would also appear that NUFC have been quoted a price of £16m for the pair, which I think isn’t a bad deal.
Of course it’s easy for me to say that as it isn’t my money, but these are two players we’ve supposedly been looking at for a while and it would help sort out two positions for us that need strengthening in terms of attack and defence.
However FC Twente boss Steve McClaren insists that it would take a “silly money” offer for his star striker to move clubs this summer.
“Every player has his price. Luuk de Jong is a fantastic forward, but he is only 21 years old and it would be better that he has one more season in Holland before he moves to the Premier League,” said McClaren.
“We have already sold a forward to balance the books. There is no financial pressure for us to sell.”
Unfortunately McClaren said much the same thing before Edin Dzeko left Wolfsburg for Manchester City which kind of shows how much sway a manager has. Sure he may want to keep de Jong, but money talks in the boardroom and at the moment we have our representatives in their boardroom. Allegedly…
More speculation or signs of action? Who knows, time will tell all I guess, but for now we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with regard to the whole de Jong/Douglas situation although it’s well worth pointing out that the transfer window is now officially open!
What do you make of it all?
I seem to remember a warm cup of **** has more uses than a cold one.

Aye I heard that, thought he said two and a half Carrols, I was like “WHAT!! He cost them £87.5m!!! Like F-ck.” that’s why I said stupid Lawrenson, who compares the price of a LB to a CF?

I didn’t claim to be breaking the story, I was pointing out my error in saying we hadn’t signed anyone yet 🙄 😉

Aussie…Did you get to watch the Euro final?
richietoon(Quote)
Rich, yeah mate, I was only sh*t stiring 😉 … I see that the papers are just running with the same stories around the same players this morning… I just wish we would put some of the rumours to bed and sign someone (other than Roman)
I must say it has gone a little quiet on Debuchy… hope it is a good sign..
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
think Debuchy wants to come here so may have to dig his heels in with his club as they will probably get higher offers from elsewhere.
De Jong if he comes, will be as a replacement I reckon 🙁
richietoon(Quote)
I agree in regards to DeJong… I reckon it will be a done deal the moment Ba leaves (signs with someone else) Hope it is not true…. rather have Ba
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
Rich, na mate missed the euro final…. I am in brisbane atm and I had no idea what time the game was on to be honest…. saw the result and hilights… looked a good game for the neutral…
off for a 600gm ribeye… hopefully some one has been signed by the time I get back…
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
600g…..lightweight 😉
