OutByEaster? Posted July 25, 2020 Moderator Share Posted July 25, 2020 In terms of a work permit, will his full Brazilian cap this season not make it easier for him to get one, and will his appearances for us also give him more of a chance. If we stay up, I'd like to see us offer City the money we'd need to buy out the clause. If as rumoured they can take him back for £15m this summer, they'll know they can turn a quick profit of £10m on that easily and there's absolutely no reason for them not to do that if he can get a work permit. I'd offer them a chunk of money to make the clause go away - if that means this summer we pay another £8-10m for Douglas Luiz then if we stay up, I reckon it'd be worth it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2020 I’m a big fan and he’s been great since the restart but absolutely no chance is he getting in to the City midfield... I think and hope one day he will be that player though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would need to have played 30% of Brazil's matches, which he hasn't. It then goes on to other factors like playing in a top league (which he has), playing in the Champions League (which he hasn't) and being one of the buying club's biggest signings or highest wage, which he wouldn't be for City if they just bought him back at the release fee in his contract. You can't discount the appeal panel just saying because he has looked so good they will allow him one anyway though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess for City it wouldn't matter, they'd be buying him to sell him not play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I'm kinda hoping that City go in for Grealish. We might agree with them to knock the price down a bit (5/10 mil) if they scrap the buy back clause (if it exists). IIRC Man United did the same thing with Zaha when they signed Wan-Bissaka, with a sell on clause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact terms of the clause haven’t been revealed so it’s all conjecture but we are rumoured to have paid £15m so I doubt that the buy back clause is at that figure a year later. I’d imagine the buy back would be much higher than the initial fee and would rise year on year until expiry. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post holteend1982 Posted July 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2020 My favourite signing in a long time. Absolutely amazing what he does at times, makes it look so easy as well. Without a doubt a full time Brazilian international in the near future 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hopefully hold on to him if we lose Jack. He is vital for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Glad we’ll be able to hold on to him, he will be class next season, proven his quality since this restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 He was looking even fitter today (you can see on insta, he really works hard on this, doing lots of recovery sessions etc). Really taking up a full box to box role. Plays defensively for the main part, but then often leading our breaks and stepping through midfield with the ball. He’ll get even better and hopefully Adds more goals to his game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hope he can have some words with a few of his compatriots and see if we could sign a few of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Dougie has been immense since the restart. Massive part in us staying up. Now we're still a Premier League side the only way we're going to lose him is if City decide to trigger the buy back so hopefully they don't bother.

AndyM3000 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hopefully we can now spend on 4-5 quality players who on the same wave length as Dougie. If Jack does go we need to keep him at all costs, he gives me hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
