Must admit I’m surprised we’re not letting him go at that price if we didn’t value him highly enough to get him signed up on a new contract before now. How do you know we've not been trying?

ferguson1 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I can see a move happening before this window shuts next week. It just feels inevitable. Pretty sure though that we won’t allow him to move unless someone else comes in. I’m really not sure if he’s progressed as much as we’d hoped he would have at this point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted a journalist a few pages back saying we’d just opened contract talks. But if we have been trying and he’s been refusing to sign, I’m even more surprised we’re not accepting the offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 So if he goes in this window, I wonder if it will be Marv to replace him till the summer or the Uruguay Juventus fella whose name I can't remember right now (if we sign him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Luiz to Arsenal seems a strange one to me. I know that Arsenal have pretty much missed every target they've gone for but I'm not seeing the benefit for Luiz here. Just a strange one.

Delphinho123 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I’m honestly not fussed if we lose him for a very good price. If somebody bids anywhere near £40m, they’re bonkers. He’s a good player and he hasn’t really kicked on in the last 18 months at all. I’d argue he’s not lived up to expectations after his best spell of form after project restart. He’s not performed that well since. I also don’t think he’s dynamic or physical enough as a number 8. He’s a tidy, neat player with a good touch. If we get massive money for him then we can reinvest in a better player IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Or maybe she's planning a move to a London club too). I bet certain players decide they want to experience living in London for a few years so maybe that has something to do with it. And then with Arsenal there's more of a possibility of playing in the CL. (Boo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We're doing something weird here. Why would this come out without a club attached to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I like Luiz but I feel we are just waiting for him to go to the next level and start dominating games which he possibly only had a handful of times for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think we have so many options in midfield it’s inevitable someone will move on. Maybe it’s going to be Dougie considering his contract situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be tempted if we've got a £30m offer and a guy who's already turned down a contract. We can't without at least one in. Perhaps we'll sell if Bentancur gets done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Luiz would be a very good signing for Arsenal. This would really sting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Considering we paid around £15m for him.. £30m is insulting in todays market in my opinion. Has to be around £45m with £5m addon to make it worth it. I’d rather keep him otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) In his first season, if I remember rightly I think he scored 3 goals in the league and I thought that's fine for a defensive midfielder. I guess we shouldn't expect a DM to score more than just occasionally but last season I don't think he scored at all (in the league, at least) and he hasn't done this season so far either, that's a long drought now. But apart from that I do think he's a good player, he's good at passing and he tries hard. As someone said just now: tidy, neat, good touch. I'd like him to stay till the end of this season and maybe next season too. Edited January 27, 2022 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal are where we want to be and selling them one of our better players isn't going to help us catch them. We don't even need to sell. Makes no sense whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
