Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Friday, July 3, 2009, 11:04:34
Just saw him walking through the CG carpark. Was definatly him

Perhaps he was taking advantage of the buying last seasons kit from the shop for £2 :)

I poster on the thisis comments section said we were trying to do a double signing of O'Brien and A.N.Other midfielder, and were currently trying to negotiate personal terms with the latter.

So I guess that fits.

Question is, is he a prat/moron that's good at football or a prat/moron that isn't?  If he's a prat/moron who can play, I'd be happy with that.

We must surely face stiff competition on this one. He seems a bit too good for us :) So I'll be delighted if he signs, but disappointed but understanding if he doesn't. It wouldn't be like the Robinson case.

Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: STFC_Manc on Friday, July 3, 2009, 11:48:29
Just spoken to friends who supports Leeds.  £10-15k a week at Leeds he reckons.  As he was on Championship wages.  Can we really afford him?


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Kinky Tom on Friday, July 3, 2009, 11:52:07
He wouldn't come here to talk if he was expecting to still earn that though.


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: lambourn red on Friday, July 3, 2009, 11:53:38
I have seen other leeds fans posting on forums that he was on nowhere near that more like £5k a week. He has prem experience with Blackburn and is free so surely worth a punt on big wages


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, July 3, 2009, 11:55:30
I don't think he was on that sort of wage as it was rumoured. I think some Leeds fans were told a fib on that one. He was certainly on a decent enough packet though i'd imagine. After all their budget was something stupid like over 10 million last season.


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: reeves4england on Friday, July 3, 2009, 12:42:40
If we were hoping to sign Tudor Jones for £250k, then surely we can afford to splash out on wages a bit for Douglas given that there'd be no transfer fee


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas

Good thinking batman!


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, July 3, 2009, 12:48:34
It wouldn't surprise me that he was on £10k+ a week at Leeds as when he signed for them they were freshly relegated from the Premiership and still paying out stupid wages, and since their demise they are weedling out all the high earners from the hangover of that period.

Now though he would be lucky to get a 5th of that with us.

Be good if we could sign him though just what we need in midfield, very hard working and high work rate box to box player.

Why one sock?  Aren't they usually bought/sold in pairs?  Has someone been on the rob but dropped one sock on the way out?  Or perhaps someone with the need for only one sock took a pair off the shelf, separated them, and robbed just one?  

I think I should get back to work.  This conundrum has made my head hurt.

Jonathan Douglas has a lot of options,but it's encouraging that he was prepared to come
to the CG for talks today.I just hope that we're prepared to push the boat out to get him.
as he and Greer would be the lynchpins to the team.


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, July 3, 2009, 17:11:21
From the Leeds forum -

Quote
No way he'll join Swindon.



Surely a Championship team like Peterborough, Barnsley etc would add him to their squads. Would'nt be suprised if Blackwell came in for him as he's a free agent.



Definately good enough to play at Championship level.



When he left Leeds. The club said it was "exceptionally difficult to agree terms acceptable to both parties" with the 27-year-old.
This suggests he wants a wage which was too high for us, how could Swindon even think about signing him.



Don't think he will go there, he's better than that



dont agree, think he cud do far better and dont think swindon can afford him. still football all about opinions !



Good luck to him, but he really should be signing for a Championship club as he is more than good enough in a holding CM role.



would be surprised to see him go to swindon and he is good enough for championship



good luck to him and he will be playing the championship next season fact


Seems like Leeds fans think hes too good for us!

Regardless, Jonathan Douglas signing for Swindon would be a very decent and will make a lot of people happy.

he is a good player and would be a good signing, he has been in his hometown for the past month or so and actually played soccer a soccer match for his local club in a friendly / cup challenge game on wednesday night. His younger brother is quite a good striker too. He came off shortly after half time for another pro player who has recently moved from wolves to bolton, although he is only 17 but played awesomly well. not many amateur teams able to do that very often  ;)

Good luck affording his wages, reportedly 10k a week at leeds


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, July 4, 2009, 08:23:47
We could be considering giving him a big signing on fee, then lower wages?

More good work by Wilson. Just to get him down here.

What we need is another player like Tommy Mooney. Where you can see a real leader from his very first game down here. If Douglas can come down and show he is a class act from the off then everyone will forget about wages straight away, fans and players.

Obviously there is a reverse scenario as well.


Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Bob's Orange on Saturday, July 4, 2009, 08:32:40
Just a thought re wages and signing on fees, clearly releasing 13 players and selling Cox for 2.5 million is going to free up a fair bit of cash. The squad is going to be much smaller this season and so we might be able to be fairly competitive with other clubs on the wages front. Clearly we aren't going to be able to compete with Huddersfield as they are too ace but we might surprise a few clubs with our wage budget.

True that. We got rid of some possible big earners like Brez, Nalis, Corr and of course now Cox. Btw i'm not saying all the above were on big wages that's just a speculated guess and i'm probably wrong.

Title: Re: Jonathan Douglas
Post by: Crozzer on Saturday, July 4, 2009, 14:05:56

"Soccer" is supposed to be a corruption of the word "Association" as in Association Football, as opposed to Rugby Football.

From:
http://soccerlens.com/why-do-americans-call-it-soccer/3360/
That's Brandi Chavstain, I think in the picture.

The word was derived from Association Football, which was the original term given to the game in the 1860s at the elite schools that spawned the sport in England. The abbreviation “Assoccer”, which became “soccer,” was used by the British upper classes of that period. When the sport was embraced by the less fortunate, the name of “soccer” was passed down. But most commoners used the word “football” to describe their new game.


Yes guv, you're a real toff, but  I call it Football.

Soccer? :no:

as stated by a previous poster, we have our own version of football, it's called gaelic football, and to let you in on another little bit of inside information, jonathan has been training with the local football team  :nod: :nod: (gaelic) since he has been home so he has been training throughout the pre-season, and played a game for the senior team last week against Emyvale (where tommy bowe is from, if you know your rugby) and he scored a goal, the other pro soccer  :nod: player scored 3 points in the same game.

to be honest i do usually call the english version football not soccer, but throughout the months of june july augus and some of sept our major gaelic football season is in play so it gets called football for those few months.

What gets me about all the pretenders to the title of "football" is that other than (soccer) football, hands are used more than foots so why the fuck call them football. Sure, they all originate pretty much directly from mob football but all the others went down the hands route so why do they stick with the football part?

Admittedly the first football rules allowed outfield players to use their hands, it was removed pretty quickly.

Well worth reading up on the history of all the football games if you're bored and looking for something to do.

What gets me about all the pretenders to the title of "football" is that other than (soccer) football, hands are used more than foots so why the fuck call them football. Sure, they all originate pretty much directly from mob football but all the others went down the hands route so why do they stick with the football part?


In gaelic football we use our hands to catch it but we have to solo the ball every four steps and then we kick pass it or hand pass it if the player is close, but we use our "foots" :-[ :-[ for spreading the ball around the feild and scoring goals and points

Sorry,you're right! I think you get the gist that Douglas isn't coming to STFC?

It was always unrealistic for this particular target. Good to be linked and get to the talks stages though.

We're actually signing Douglas Jonathon an obscure reserve team player from a higher division.

... and he will make his bow with John Stern, who we will sign from Norwich's leading Sunday League team Norfolk Enchancers.
