I'd much rather we keep him, however I'm also in the camp of not wanting to see him leave for nothing as it will be more expensive to replace him next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I find it suprising luiz does not believe in the project. You can see by the investment and calibre of players we are bringing to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is refusing to sign then we need to cash in. But if i was a existing player i would be thinking this id a club going places and i would commit to another 2-3 years as still young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 why is it every player that leaves or wants to leave "doesn't believe in the project" the project being we will eventually look at replacing him...but not even that, we have a project to be where arsenal are or where roma are or he's simply just lived his life in a penthouse in brum city centre and is now looking to do something else or probably the simplest answer we've offered him £75k a week and someone else is talking up more dont get me wrong i love the owners and im fully on board for the project but in terms of players in seems really hollow and unrealistic to me, two words in to ashley youngs press release after signing the new deal was "ambition" its just playing to the crowd, it means nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite excited about Villa becoming the Brazilian national team, but puzzled about how Milan can decide this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be getting loads of offers at 30 mill and we would be putting a 120k a week contract in front of him. But him and McGinn are symptomatic of our biggest issue which is inconsistency. Can we afford to rely on him when his form dips not even from month to month , but by game to game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of questions about Carney last season, not so many about Douglas' situation. It would also be nice to hear what his thoughts on Sanson are, but he just gets asked the same old boring stuff.

catanzaro Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 The way I read the situation is this is simply a case of shipping one of the midfielders out to make way for a top quality replacement, which would bring more competitiveness for places. So I think, if they can find someone to buy Sanson they would improve their offer to Luiz and keep him.. Well that's my hopeful theory, based on the fact I think he is a better prospect than Sanson. In my opinion a top 6 side has someone like Luiz in the team even if they are playing from the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only time he played as one of our 8s, with a 6 behind him, was in that game.... hard to judge his consistency in that role when he's only played there once. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Thought Arsenal were close to signing Youri Tielemans? They won't sign Luiz if they sign him regardless of what's going on off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted July 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2022 If he goes I hope to god we get a decent replacement, my feeling is he will run his contract down and leave for nothing but obviously he will get a huge wage at his new club but at least we get another season of him.
