Farlz Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If he’s really pushing for it then we should just get the best we can and let him go unfortunately. Should’ve never got to this stage in the first place though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Can't blame him in the least. Why stay here with this mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie2000 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 So if he goes is it Gerrard fault, if he won't sign a contract then we need to hold out till 22.59 if they don't pay what we want, and if they then don't pay up, he can feck off for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 Whether it's 20m or 30m, we're going to struggle to replace him. It's not like we have the sort of setup where we're unearthing good young talents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Terrible news, we have now regressed if this true. Dougie is the type of player that we will look back on in 4 years time and realise the talent we missed out on like an Idrissa Gueye The reality is that none of our managers knew how to use a player with his ability because he is a continental type of player that has a high footballing IQ which means he can play as a 6 and 8. If he leaves, the club has f***ed this with all the irrelevant promo ect.. poor from the club.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What are we worried about? He’s not that good. He’s only wanted by *checks* the team sat at the top of the premier league. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should’ve never got to this stage in the first place though. agreed. 23/25m for a player who has 1 year left on their contract, and is pushing to go. Or, keeping him, getting nothing in the summer, and having an unhappy player on our books for the rest of the season. 23/25m will help our finances, overall i would sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'd rather let his contract run out at this stage, we are already short of midfielders, we can't afford to lose one of our best ones. Selling him without getting another midfielder in means we're probably in the Championship next season, which will cost us a lot more than the 30mil we'd get by selling him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It’s a shame if we lose him but he’s not irreplaceable. I imagine 25m, plus a couple of million in add ons will do it. No point keeping an unhappy player who walks for free in 9 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Another talented young midfielder with zero interest in the former career of our current manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 The only way you can justify selling him is if he is replaced with a big signing of similar ability. We can't just let him go. He's misused by the idiot in charge, but he's one of the few midfielders we have that can make the midfield work at all. Letting him go just weakens us, and the money doesn't soften the blow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJay Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Luiz is going anyway, he's not going to sign a new contract so we should try get as much cash right now to re-invest for future windows. A very decent player who probably can go up another level, but he's been a mainstay of our struggling midfield since our return to the prem, good player but currently being overhyped due to a combo or current poor coaching/tactics and midfield options.
