KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Really showing maturity beyond his years. Never hides from the ball, a good eye for a pass and his engine is phenomenal. Watching him yesterday made it clear: He’s going to be a big player full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convince him we want him to be an integral part of our future. He is an Adama. We are a stepping stone. Realistically he doesn't want to be part of our future long term. Ideally we stayed up and he gets 2 years of PL football before moving on. Now we look to be going down he will definitely be off. City or a big club no chance but maybe a Valencia or a Villareal.

Had we stayed up and with the noises coming from our owners I believe we could have built around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the Brazilian national team squad this season he won't risk that by playing Championship football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Douglas Luiz, I think he has very mature footballing brain and reads the game well. Is composed on the ball and can pick a pass. Certainly one of our better players, needs to find consistency though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinlessWonder Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Best i've seen him play for us yesterday, he and McGinn were just unlucky that Liverpool were able to bring on a fresh Henderson and Wyjnaldum who turned the game back around. I do fear that if we go down he may not stick around, he's only really just starting to truly show he can do it at this level but i think someone that has been at Man City and captain of the Brazil U23's (? i think) will probably consider the championship as beneath them.

I get what you are saying mate. However look at it like this. If our owners are ambitious as they say. There is nothing to say, with a settled team, and at the risk of upsetting a few, an "A list" manager plus a few signings of intent that we can't convince a few we are worth hanging about with. Que the Newcastle take over going through, he is probably the type they would be going for to bein with ffs.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I think that’s a speech from someone who: a) sees himself as a natural leader and is developing into that at Villa b) considers himself a professional person c) has moral and religious scruples about duplicity d) knows he does not want to play in the championship but needs to focus on the task at hand I can see a pretty big team coming in for him based on his post-lockdown performances alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC44 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yeah absolutely no chance he stays if we go down. Even if he did want to stay he will be one of the players that will have a relatively high sale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be over the moon if he stays if/when we are relegated. He will then easily turn into my favorite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I still think the best way to keep him is by allowing him to leave on loan for a season and if we're promoted bring him back. An even better way is to win all 5 remaining games somehow. Of course if our owners are as hard-nosed as they were with Grealish my above comments are null and void regardless of the division we're in.
