I think he is a really good player, much superior to McGinn. Would be the ideal outcome. How does Luiz leaving affect his relationship with Lehmann? She might be sold to Roma Femminile.

Indeed but they also didn’t expect anybody to activate the 100m release clause. Different situation here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I hope he stays. I'm looking forward to seeing him rotated with Kamara and Sangare (or equivalent). I think he will give us control of the midfield with the right teammates around him. I don't think he is better than SJM but he is better at some things and worse at others. If we get the right six options, I think we could rotate depending upon the opposition and use subs (given that we are now allowed five) depending upon the circumstances. Dougie could be a key cog but so will the others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Not going to improve much more, OK for lower to mid-table team but never going to he a solid top 6 Premier league player based on previous seasons. Just a tanned Ashley Westwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keyblade Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 Honestly, if he stays, he'll save us a lot of money on looking for a #8. He's been one of the best players on the pitch the few times he's played there last season. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Gazzetta dello Sport saying this... http://sportwitness.co.uk/player-practically-broken-aston-villa-already-made-known-wont-renew/ Quote Player ‘has practically broken up’ with Aston Villa – ‘Already made it known’ he won’t renew As you’ll know, because Steven Gerrard talked about it in the past, Douglas Luiz has yet to renew his contract at Aston Villa. The Brazilian, who remained a first-team player at Villa Park last season, is contractually tied to the club until June of next year, after which he would become a free agent. This is something Aston Villa will want to avoid, and if they can’t get him to sign a new extended deal, then selling him this summer makes the most sense. The situation is one AS Roma are following very closely, long interested in Luiz’s services, and they could make a move for him if the midfielder pushes for an exit. Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday seem to suggest this is something that has already started, as they point out the player has ‘practically broken up’ with the Midlands club, and ‘has already made it known that he doesn’t intend to renew’. On Wednesday, it was claimed that Aston Villa were asking for €35m, but Gazzetta reckon that currently stands at €30m. Either way, it’s too much for Roma, who ‘hope to lower the request’.

Condimentalist Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Doug is a 6/10 most weeks. If he wants to sign and we can give him a chance further up the pitch, great, but no great shakes if he goes and I would back Lange and Co to find a superior replacement. Hell, even Sanson may end up being a better option if he sticks around and stays fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's reported City have a sell on clause, depending on what % that is if we lower the fee we may not even get back what we paid for him if we sell him now.

Though if we sell him for say £25m and have to give Man City £5m, that’s still a basic profit of £5m seeing that we bought him for £15m. and in FFP terms, that’s a £11.25m profit.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 They’ve translated Italian clickbait to make more English click bait. Cant wait until the new contracts announced. Maybe as part of the new kit unveiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
