privateer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Notwithstanding the over-Godding, I liked the way he came across in that interview. Seems like a grounded and determined character and we know he's sick filthy as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a major issue, just an observation. He said he didn’t speak much English but would shout orders from the back. I would guess he’s not fluent, but can speak a bit. If our manager and staff thought it would be an issue, this deal wouldn’t be happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bose Posted July 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2019 Brazil U-21 captain and just won Toulon tournament player of the year. And he just signed for Aston Villa?!?! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I don’t know if it’s because he’s come from Man City or if it’s because he’s Brazilian U23’s captain, but this is the most exciting signing of the summer for me. In fact, our most exciting signing for a long time. Maybe since Laursen (and that was because of AC Milan and CM). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Midfield options next season: Grealish, McGinn, Luiz, Nakamba, Hourihane, Jota, Trezeguet, El Ghazi. Wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a major issue, just an observation. I've lived in Austria and Germany, and would say I can speak German - not to be able to do an interview. But I managed to get food and beer, and have a laugh with colleagues. There is a difference in the fluency requirements for different circumstances.

Johnnyp Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Still pinching myself. Historically, we don't sign this type of player. He's elite. Potentially world class. Also mindful too that he is 21 and might be prone to a few mistakes early doors. But again, what a signing. We've put this league on notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I don't know much about him, I'd be lying if I said I had heard of him before last month, but it's good to see other fans wishing they had signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Rodri is an absolute flop, Luiz won't be going anywhere for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
