Villa_Vids Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I am a huge admirer of D. Luiz, I believe he is going to go really far - I just hope we get to see his best days at the Villa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Credit to Suso. This was a really, really good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was but it also shows how hard it is to beat the big boys at finding and signing these players. The Douglass Luiz’s of the world get snapped up quickly. The bullshit work permit rules actually worked in our favour for once! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I don’t think Suso found him. I read we were approached by Man City to take him on this buy back deal as they couldn’t get a work permit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Not overly concerned but a bit strange not seen him in any of the pre season training social media posts, he's also not very active on his own social media where as he normally is!

Have the club dispatched someone on a magic carpet to plead with the King of the Potato People (possibly Steve Bruce, come to think of it now) for his freedom?

ender4 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Is it weird that i want him to be good next season, but not soooo good that Man City will definitely activate the buyback next summer. Then in 2021/22 he can be bloody amazing for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Everytime this thread bumps I think the buy back clause is activated, not good for my heart! Edited August 27, 2020 by Keener window-cleaner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be heartbreaking when we’re joint top with City both on +47 GD and they trigger it in January to stop us winning the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
