RESULT! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The better the players around him the more he shines. Playing like Thiago at Liverpool these days. Ultra confident in his own ability and has fantastic style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve given up trying to work out what Gerrard was doing even Smith sort of hung out to dry by sticking him central as the sole DM . It’s wonderful to see how he’s excelling under Unai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 On 17/07/2023 at 14:15, LondonLax said: It’s the high defensive line that has helped his game. We used to be so open in transition when losing the ball because Luiz was left as the loan defensive midfielder in acres of space. Now that midfield is much more quickly compressed when we don’t have the ball and he is much less exposed, allowing him to close channels and win back possession. I think you are spot on.....but I have to say, my opinion of him has changed dramatically, for the better. We can all have our early opinions of him, mine was not convinced. However, He is turning in to an Elite Footballer and his international Boss, must be thinking long and hard about him. Dougie is now, our go to, midfield player, with an encouraging rate of consistency.....Really proud of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Tiny bit worried that if Chelsea fail to land Caicedo they’ll come in for Dougie. A lot of money being rejected by Brighton for their star man, I’m not convinced we’d be doing the same if 70m+ was offered for Luiz… Edited July 29, 2023 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot of money… Brighton have a habit of selling for multiple millions every season and finding someone just as good to replace them for peanuts, whereas we don’t. Selling Dougie could well be the start of doing that, and to be honest, it’s probably something we need to be able to do. We shouldn’t ever struggle because we sold one player, like we did with Grealish… Brighton I feel may well be at a point where they don’t need to accept such offers and can probably hold out for even more. I think we may need to accept offers that are north of 60m for our players from an FFP perspective. We generally spend a lot more than they do on players.

Selling Dougie could well be the start of doing that, and to be honest, it’s probably something we need to be able to do. We shouldn’t ever struggle because we sold one player, like we did with Grealish… In my opinion, we shouldn't need to sell our best players. Good teams become better teams by adding good players to the top players they already have. Brighton have the habit of selling their best players, but we are not Brighton. They may well struggle to replace their two best players on a like for like basis, if they let Caicedo go during this window too. Their habit may have worked up until now, but there is no guarantee that it will work every time. Grealish wanted to go and went to win medals and for a few dollars more. Dougie seems content where he is and why would he want to go to Chelsea? They may have the Kings Road to offer, but they haven't got European football? Players want to join us now rather than leave us and that is the habit I want us to keep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
