Popular Post Farlz Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'm going to repeat myself every time I post in here. Very good performance and unless Man City trigger the buy back clause then we must do absolutely everything physically possible to keep him at this club. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, potentially Luiz could be more influential than Grealish. He links up with other players so well and he is learning quickly. Sell the vision whatever league we are in and build a team around him, hopefully he would want to stay if we go down....but I can see interest in him from many PL clubs.

Johnnyp Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Easily the most comfortable, most technical ability CM we've had since probably Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Yet another moment of pure Filth from the Boss. Double drag back then a pirouette to send the midfielder the other way. Then there were a few other ones but that was filthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Amazing the tone change with regard to Luiz. It does show that learning the language and having a little time to settle helps. Looks like a player who has stepped up his game 2 or 3 notches since he came back. We need to do everything we can to keep him next season.

If we do Keep him and we go down, then he’ll be, probably, the best midfielder in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid 15, Purslow said buyback was significant so probably 25 but apparently increases per season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what the buy back amount is but if it's cheap and another club are prepared to pay more they can easily speak to City about activating it and then getting the player on loan. Wasn't it Morata that Madrid bought back with the intention or selling at a higher price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) I remember reading a story somewhere that the buy back clause is incremental, each window that City don't buy him it goes up and eventually it expires. Also remember reading that the buyback started at £20m plus as well, don't think we would have bothered buying him if it was £15m, if that was the case we'd have been better off just bringing him in on loan.

ramshackler Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 My fear is City may even buy him back to sell him on at a profit. Do we know what amount the buy back fee was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 This boy will go on to become a top top player. Crazy to think he is only 21.Unfortunately, we won't have him at his very best. We MUST keep him for another season or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know what amount the buy back fee was? They still have to wait a transfer window to do that I believe and Luiz has to agree to it as well. Which why would he. If city would demand 35 mil for him and only pay us 25 million. The buying club could offer us 30 million and give Luiz a signing bonus of 2.5 million. In other words it is counter productive for him to agree to a contract with City of they just intend on selling him straight away again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Why isn't Dougie taking set pieces instead of Jack if Connor isn't taking it. With his range of passes surely he can whip in a decent corner or free kick. Still nuts it's his first season in the Prem and is 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only took him about 2/3s of a season to fully get to grips with the league. His upside is frightening. If we don't tie him down he'll be a star elsewhere. Absolutely need to stay up and build around him and Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
