Davkaus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Couldn't see for a moment why this guy signed a new contract under Gerrard, but I'm bloody delighted that he did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 He’s growing as a player. Luiz, Kamara and Ramsey should be the future for us in there, supplemented by a bit more quality over time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he knew what was going to happen. Just so much better for having the summer off this year, just a shame it might be too late to get in the Brazil team.

thabucks Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Surely Nas must’ve intervened in the contract negotiations for the apparent turn around in singing a deal… Or got Lange to whisper to his agent plans to sack Gerrard and go for Emery… Doesn’t matter and I’m so happy he’s signed up! And now finally working under a fantastic coach and manager in one he’s only going to get better . Edited November 6, 2022 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viivvaa66 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 What a crime it would have been if we sold him to Arsenal for £20 mill. People said I was delusional when I said that Gerrard could cost us a £50 mill midfielder by not picking Luiz, now I think my estimate were on the cheap side.

juanpablosaliceband Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Luiz is such a good player. Him and Kamara could be magic together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is obvious in hindsight that things were happening behind the scenes in securing Emery and that surely played a part in him deciding to sign a contract. He could easily have waited out this season and went to Arsenal for much more money (and chances of success to be fair) but he loves it here and has the chance to be a modern day legend here now. He should be properly loved by the supporters from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be properly loved by the supporters from now on. I had no idea what was going on in the background. But if Luiz demand to sign a contract was either Gerrard sacked or Emery as the new manager, I’m sure he would have agreed the contract in principle and then sign when his demand was met. I think it is more simple, he has a girlfriend here, he like it here, we gave him a good offer. Also I’m sure he, like everybody else on here knew, that Gerrard’s days were numbered.

Mantis Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Totally ran the show today. Makes Gerrard trying to freeze him out early in the season seem even more bizarre. Edited November 6, 2022 by Mantis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 He's a fabulous player. Always thought he'd soon be moving, would go to a better side and proceed to make Villa look ridiculous for not being able to get the best out of him, but with the new contract and Emery coming in it seems we'll actually be the beneficiaries of it. He has a bit more of a presence and confidence about him this season, he's always had the talent but it's like he's fully grown into the pace and physicality of the league too.

MrBlack Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Never once doubted his ability. Glad he finally has a proper coach to develop him into the player he has the potential to be. Smith saw it in him, but he was so young and had limited experience for a lot of Smith's time. Now he's got the experience, and we're going to reap the benefits instead of another team stealing him for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hoping his form continues, he’s been back to his lockdown form (maybe even better) and I think Emery will benefit him even more. Love him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
