Demitri_C Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Why go arsenal? Honestly if we stay up and we keep investing we will only get better. Unlike arsenal who are a sinking ship and getting worse and worse each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them have Jack at an agreed fair price, say 50-55 mill (yes he might be worth more to us but this is what I think he'll go for)..... In return all proceeds from any future sale of Luiz are Aston Villa's. I think he will be at least a 50 million player himself before we need/want to sell him.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Arteta is definitely a fan having worked with him at City. He’s the Brazilian I always wanted to see at Villa. Been so good since lockdown, I love his attitude and you can tell he really loves it here. I really hope we get the job done Sunday, then start bringing in some proper talents; players so good that nobody wants to leave because things look too exciting. Scenes when the bosses start knocking back £100m bids for the aswell! Purslow said we wont be a selling club. Lets see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Luiz to Arsenal is just a lazy link because both he and Arteta were at City together. The story originated on a website called 90 Minutes in their articles they just speculate and then tweet clickbaity headlines in links to those articles, but people don't read the article and it's just the clickbait headline that gets repeated over and over again all over twitter. They did exactly the same thing when saying Man City wanted him back, but when you read the actual artilce it was just them guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all stems Tony Adams stating after the match that Douglas Luiz is the exact type of midfielder Arsenal need. Lo and behold a day or two later the press have turned it into a story that Arsenal are leading the race to sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 24, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Think Villa will keep Luiz if they stay in the Premier League. Villa have now found the DM they have been craving for a while so are unlikely to sell and will build around him.

Adam2003 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 If Man City want to buy any of our players they will do so. The buyback clause just means it’s more affordable for them so they don’t end up in the sort of embarrassing situation United found themselves in with Pogba. So if you see it as a loan you almost might as well see any of our players as on loan, as a CL club could almost always take them from us in return for a certain sum of money. That’s not defeatist - every club is a selling club to some extent. City couldn’t keep Sane, Madrid couldn’t keep Ronaldo, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) I don't think City take him this summer. Where would he play ? Positionally he's identical to Rodri and he's not gonna be budged for a while. He's class. If we stay up and have any ambition we need to build a team around him. Edited July 24, 2020 by Johnnyp .

Also would city really take him to play in their first team when he’s only played a couple of months of decent football. They might want to see how he does over another full season before they decide. They could sign him as a squad player but he might prefer the Villa first team over the city bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very end of the video after the match Arteta is walking towards Luiz. Wonder what they were chatting about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Of course Arsenal wants Luiz, everyone who has seen him play would want him. If City triggers the rumoured buy back clause he is off, otherwise no other team can have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I dont think theres any way City don't just buy him back tbh, its a rumoured 25m clause and by all accounts they didn't want to and probably wouldn't have sold him to us had he got a permit with them. For his development though i genuinely hope they leave it another year because the rate hes improving it would be horrible to see him just warm their bench for the year.

It would be in their interest for him to get another full season under his belt in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s a 2 year option though so if we stay up they could let him develop further and get another Prem season under is belt before triggering the clause.
