Regardless of what I think of him, I haven’t seen that side of him before. Looks fed up. Probably because the club blocked a move to the current league leaders in the summer.

HAL Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 If arsenal wanted him should've bid earlier so we could've had a chance to spend the cash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Considering Purslow's hint towards a sell to buy policy, not taking £25m for him was madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) To be fair to him, the "petulance" was in reaction to persistent shithousing by a few of the Forest players. A lot of players would be getting riled in that kind of game, especially when things aren't going your way in terms of results and performances. I don't think Dougie is throwing his toys out the pram, and I've never got the impression he's a disruptive character in the dressing room. As others have said, though, the fact current league leaders Arsenal were keen to sign him suggests that maybe he is a better player than some of our fans give him credit for. Kind of makes sense that a 24-year-old with 9 Brazil caps who was on City's books, and has over 100 appearances for Aston Villa is... "not shit" at the very least. But he releases the ball too slowly or something. Edited October 11, 2022 by KentVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping points to start the season made them reticent to sell him. Let's hope we arent still desperate in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Love Dougie. Great to see him more confident in his English now. https://www.avfc.co.uk/video/0_z771yq3z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Easily our best technical midfielder, shame he’s been messed around with when the likes of captain fantastic plays every game, can understand why he wanted to go in Jan, just hope a new manager convinced him to sign the contract he was rumoured to be close to signing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The interview screams desperation, he’s not even going to stay so why do an interview. Only thing that I want to hear on his side is that he has signed the contract.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted he may not be wanting to stay because the current manager doesnt play him much, but we really dont know the reason he isnt signing, and you cant put him front and centre saying "Mr Villa type things" when he is currently on course to leave in Jan or next summer. Seriously small brain thinking by the club to put him forward like that. Edited October 14, 2022 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Should have sold him in the summer. He is decent but replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New manager or not, I can’t see any scenario where he ruins his move there in the summer, with a bumper sign on fee for being a free agent as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterDad Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 For me Dougie is one of those players we will regret selling, but what can the club do? It’s clear he wants to go and can anyone blame him. He hasn’t torn up any trees here, but I still think his star will shine somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 He’s not good enough to be a consistent starter, the club was right however to not take Arsenal’s low-balling. We need to not be pushovers in the long term. If Arsenal were as keen as they claim, pony up. They might even move on to other targets now.
