I’m impressed by all of our business this summer, but this is the signing that really excites me. Purely on reputation and clips clearly, but sounds like a potential superstar.

I totally agree - this signing has got me buzzing

Agreed. Plus we now have the nous to put a deal together - couldn't see previous regimes, stretching back to Doug/Steve Stride perhaps (when likely different rules applied) to construct a complicated deal to get him in.

Well chuffed.

Interesting signing. Seems highly thought of which is good but I don't know a thing about him. Welcome Doug.

This is an excellent point. We appear to have found a way to manipulate a problem for Man City into a solution for ourselves.

This exites me almost as much as the player himself, we look like we actually know what the fuck we're doing.

Defensive midfielder, very comfortable on the ball, likes to find space and pick out a pass.

Really impressed with Purslow, Suso and the recruitment team they’ve put together.

He reminds me of Craig David.  In which case ‘I hope you’re really good on Saturday, not so bad on a Sunday, be very good on a Monday or even if you play on Tuesday.’

By Wednesday he'll be too busy making love, I'd imagine.

I have been scanning the internet every day for the past two weeks on this.
Absolutely delighted we have got this one over the line.
Douglas could prove to be our best signing of the summer.
We've taken advantage of Citeh and doesn't Guardiola hate it.
Someone posted earlier about our signings being brought in to complement our style, and non more so than this one.
By the end of the season Douglas won't want to leave as he will have realised he is already at the world's best club.
If we could just get in a quality goalkeeper and a small forward I think we will be a match for anyone.
Can't wait for it to all get started now.

Or alternatively we will have started a bidding war over his buy back clause.
