sparrow1988 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 All this talk of sell if he's not signing. Maybe the interested clubs are bothered paying the fee when they know they could get him for free next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a good servant good moments don't begrudge him a move but hes been coasting for months. Never struck me as a guy to settle and build a life in Brum. I wish he was as settled with his life in Brum as he is in Alisha’s bum Edited June 2, 2022 by Follyfoot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we may have problems selling a number of our players, many of them only have one year left if IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we've been asking him the question for last year so I assume he's given the answer to the club by now. Season is over, he's not on international duty and likes of Cash and Emi have signed new deals in last few months so clear to me he's decided after three years it's time for a fresh challenge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me agrees, the other part thinks we were turning down £35m just a few months ago, will clubs who want him really drop their valuation by nearly 50% because of a few months? Certainly possible, January bumps the prices and this is our last chance to get proper money for him. But I kind of think £25-30m is very possible still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be poor if we made a loss on him considering he's won Brazil caps while playing for us and for all his flaws played over 100 prem games in his time. I think someone will come in for him for that fee at some point in next month as in a slower league he'd be a really good player especially if a team plays a double pivot. Stick him in Brighton team or even Leeds and he'd look very good I reckon but I can't see him being interested in playing for those clubs considering the Roma link.

Really hoping Gerrard can say he's sorted the issues in DM, thank Dougie for doing a job there for us - and then sell him the dream on being a leading 8 for us moving forwards. There's a nice South American contingent here, his girlfriend is contracted to the club and there are minutes here for Dougie. Playing along side Coutinho must be good for his World Cup hopes too.

The first year buyback was £25m (which Man City decided he wasn’t worth that to them) and the second year buyback was either £30m or £35m (which Man City also declined to take up at that price).

VillaChris Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Fair enough, 20m is a logical price for him in that regard with 12 months left then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not injury prone and haven't just come back from a long term injury, I can see why a player would do this. Especially at around Dougies age. Heck of a gamble on your career earnings if you face a Ben Mee leg breaker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
