Keyblade Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Why does he have to have his full name on the back of his shirt? Gonna cost me an arm and a leg, but it'll be well worth it. Need to make good use of this crappy away shirt somehow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now got used to it and has been one the best players in the league. Carragher and Neville are starting to talk him up. It's almost as though they are lining him up for a move. When did Carra and Nev discuss him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why pedants liked me hate when people call him "Luiz"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the options ahead of him means he opts for being our #1 player next season (in the PL!) instead of being on the bench for City. Guardian match report says City should ‘obviously’ sign him. He’s getting noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Watching Arsenal, I think Doug is precisely what they needed last night: all action, combative, keeps the play ticking over and with an eye for a pass. If we stay up, we must keep him. He’s the fulcrum around which we must build, not Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 You can see what pep saw in him. With the buyback clause, does it get bigger the longer he stays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I love him, he’s been brilliant since the restart and a great example of why we shouldn’t be too quick to dismiss new signings as rubbish. I hope to god we can keep him, whichever league we’re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Looks a different player since the lockdown. The threat of playing championship football must have got him into shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If grealish goes he or konsa should be captain. Luiz has a heart of a lion. Gotta keep him at all costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If clubs are going to come in for Douglas Luiz then it's not going to be because they saw Carragher and Neville talk about his form on Sky Sports. Everybody watches everybody these days, every club has a Wyscout subscription and they have people in their backroom staff who know more about every opposition player than the researchers at Sky television. Luiz is a full Brazil international, he's looking to play in the Champions League and he's almost certainly good enough to do that already. He won't be here for long time, but the stated aim of the club from a business point of view is to buy young guys like Luiz and sell them at a profit to fund further investment in the first team. I've got this feeling that if Man City do want him back then maybe they are happy to leave him at Villa for another season (providing we stay up) and bring him back when he's got 70+ Premier League appearances under his belt. If we have to sell but we double our money in two years then it's probably good business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Do you know what I'd do. If it came to it city were to choose the buy back and Luiz wanted to stay, I would seriously offer city more money to back of the buy back just to keep this bloke, surely that can be done right??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player but don’t think he competes with Rodri and Fernadinho ,Gundogan in that City team yet, City buying him back this soon would hinder his development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
