Tom13 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 And I wouldn't say it's his focus that's going, but he's been less of a presence in quite a few games now this season IMO. Compared to the tenacious figure he became when Emery joined anyway. His technical ability and intelligence is never in question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn't say you couldn't argue with it, I said you can't argue with the numbers he's putting up, in a good way, ffs. Well read the original post I responded to then before getting into a back and forth, because the original post was about him being better when he was single. Hence why I took exception to to it. And there isn't one player in the PL that doesn't have off games, even the best players do so to expect him to stamp his authority on every game is a little mad imo. He's our best midfielder by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Dougie but Kamara is slightly better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an interview he said it was in homage to John Scales, whom he idolised growing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Lot of reports suggesting that we are going to cash in on Luiz. Would be sad to see him leave. If he brings in 100mill then can't see club saying no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only go backwards if we're poorly run and spend the money badly. £100m for Luiz would represent incredible value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frodo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Rather just keep what we have & let them all grow together, Mings & Beundia back next season, think we could go closer to the summit & a decent Champions league campaign. Which ever which way the clubs wants to play it I trust in them 100% to do what's right & progress this great club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all down to if the money is spent well though. i would trust Emery to spend it well tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Selling Dougie would be mental. I love JJ but I'd rather we sell him if we have to. We've shown this season we can win without JJ and surely Diaby will fire soon enough. Replacing Dougie would be a massive ask. I don't think I can name a player out there who'd come in and offer what he does. He's brilliant. It's like a gunman asking who you want to be shot first, your missus or your kid.

My lad does, he got compared to Duncan Edwards on the college sports report for a 45 yard assist and running the show a couple weeks back. The Edwards comparison didn't go down well with me, I'm guessing his coach is a Utd fan. As for the missus, she could do a job at DMF, pointing and telling everyone what to do.
