    FootballerInsider247 reporting that we are about to bid for Leeds defender Barry Douglas, and that Leeds are happy for him to leave.

    Scottish international left-sided defender who hasn’t appeared for them in the PL this season but has played in the League Cup.

    Think he's a set piece specialist if I remember correctly. Could be decent cover.

    Would be a very very good signing. This could be the big one we've been waiting for.

    Really bad player in the completely wrong age bracket. Get it done Gino. Looking forward to paying his wages whilst he sits with Janmaat and drinks tea for the next three years.

    Selling a has-been like Estupinan and replacing him with a promising, up-and-comer like Barry Douglas really is outstanding business from the master negotiator himself.

    Great. We need a Barry to play with Ken. Just need a Keith and a Geoff now by my reckoning.

    Just spoke to my mate who's a Leeds season ticket holder. Reckons he hasn't had one good game for them in two years.

    Bedwetters already writing off a player without even giving him a chance. Just because some bunch of Leeds fans who watch him play call him **** doesn't mean he is.

    Get behind the Golden Boys and enjoyyyy the signing!

    Leventhal has confirmed our interest.

    We are a ******* joke of a club honestly.

    The fact we went from Estupian to this makes me very sad.

    This is in the Glenn Murray mould of signing - he is so utterly **** that he makes the players we have look marginally less ****.

    Positives-

    Excellent striker of a dead-ball

    Experienced

    Plays in a position where we need more depth

    Negatives-

    -He's 30

    -More of a wing-back, so may mean we keep playing this dull formation.

    ???

    Honestly, haven't seen him play for a couple of years. Used to be good at this level- for Wolves. I'm guessing, from some of the reaction on here, that this is no longer the case?

    Thought that was the case. Fits the Pozzo model then. Loan to buy and a 5 year contract at the end of the season incoming.

    Barry Island would be more useful. Or Douglas on the Isle of Man.

    I would rather sign Michael Douglas.

    Didn’t we want him years and years ago when he first broke through at Dundee United - but he went to Wolves?

    I’ll whack a COG hat on for 2 mins, his set-pieces are excellent and something we don’t really possess - unless Garner comes good.

    Taking the COG hat off and nestling back into my sodden bedsheets - everything else about his game is terrible. He’s the wrong side of 30. And we are spending money on someone out of contract in 8 months and will probably give him a 5 year deal.

    Everyone can mention Estupinan all they want, he never ever won a game in the Championship. Barry from Douglas has.

    Didn't this chap record "Kung Fu Fighting" in the 1970s?

    Mildly racist, it's a yes from me.

    Putting a COG hat on, he’s won promotion twice out of the Championship in the past three seasons. A kind of Dawson in reverse.

    Taking the hat back off again, surely we can be doing better than this.

    Putting my 'little-Englander, coastal town resident' hat on. I'd take a good British name like Barry over some foreigner called Pervy.

    I draw the line at signing a corpse, but Michael would be decent. Who could have a problem with Gordon Gekko? At least he'd get a much better deal in selling our players than Gino.
