He says one sentence earlier he was coy, then suddenly he's been told he isn't signing? Pretty sure he means to say IF he isn't going to sign.

LondonLax Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 That’s a strange claim for Preece to make publicly like that. He could have easily said he’s heard rumours that Luiz isn’t signing but to come out and claim it has come directly from Gerrard is another thing altogether. I suspect Luiz will be gone in summer but it could even be this window if we sign a viable replacement. £30-40m is too much money to watch walk out of the club for nothing.

Preece has no idea what is going on and appears to never have had. Even right up to Grealish going he was telling all and sundry on the podcasts that he thought he wasn't. He's known nothing about any Villa news that any ITK journalist would have and Gerrard clearly hasn't told him anything. He's making it up. It may well turn out to be true (Luiz not wanting to stay) but you can't bet Preece has absolutely no idea or 'in' with Gerrard. I had a listen too, and I agree, he seemed to be stumbling for words and contradicting himself and didn't seem too sure or in control of what he was saying. I rate Luiz and honestly don't know if he will sign a new deal if offered, but if the club know he won't, he should be sold at the peak of his contract value which is right now. Either way I'm more confident that preece knows less than I do! Edited January 28, 2022 by VillaJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope SG cuts him off and he's out of whatever loop he's in at the moment. **** toad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I really don't see Gerrard saying that to a journalist. I expect if challenged it will be more like something he's interpreted. He probably asked Gerrard if Luiz was signing a new deal. Gerrard totally ignores him. Preece takes his silence to mean he's not signing Edited January 28, 2022 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Naive reporting by Preece - sadly all 'journalists' now want to produce sensational headlines every time so resort to exaggeration, bordering on outright lies just to get clicks.

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Gerrard told Preece he isn’t going to sign a new contract That’s nearly as bad as me being best mates with Dougie and playing Cod together ! He really should be more careful with his words. Edited January 28, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sidcow Posted January 28, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2022 Whilst Gerrard was briefing Preece about our confidential contract negotiations I am surprised he didn't inform him we were about to sign Calum Chambers. Quite odd really. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 If Gerrard did tell Preece that, then I presume it was in confidence and will be the last thing gets. Let’s face it, If Ashley Preece is a journalist then I know where there’s a **** forum full. Just a Wetherspoons Gregg Evans, Pair of Sausages!

Indigo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Preece seems like a nice fella but really does tie himself in knots at times. Spent the summer saying Grealish was 100% staying, he was told as much etc, then City sign him and he's saying "oh well I thought he was" before writing scathing opinion pieces on the matter. Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Dougie putting up a post slating him within the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 With Calum Chambers in, with Bentancur likely to join in next few days. Nakamba will be fit in a couple of months. We should cash in on Luiz. He won't be playing games and can't see him signing a new deal after he's dropped. We also won't get near as much for him in Summer.
