VillaParkAvenue Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just now, villa89 said: I imagine Gerrard has very little say in how much a player is sold for and obviously the club aren't going to sell Luiz to Liverpool for 15m if Madrid are offering 20m. That article you quoted is absolute clickbait tosh. What I suppose he can do is say that we have enough players and sanction him leaving. I understand he won't be picking the buyer or negotiate the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackHaakon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Very underestimated and still very young. Miles ahead of Ramsey and McGinn in terms of game intelligence and positional sense. The only midfielder who as developed a good chemistry with Kamara. Would be a big step back to lose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It's too late to sell him, we likely would have sold him a month ago though. It's not like we're tripping over midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I must admit I had thought, that he had signed a new contract. If he hasn't we are in the same boat as we were at the start of the season, when the choice was to keep him for this season and lose him for nothing in twelve months, or sell him for around £15m - £25m now. A lot of us wanted to take the second option and I guess the club might see it that way too. If Liverpool are in for him, then he is likely to want to go, if only to do a Jack and spend a lot of time sitting on a bench, so will we get much out of him if we do hold onto him for the last 12 months? I would like him to stay and I would also like him to have signed another contract, but that looks increasingly unlikely. I don't really see this one is down to SG, he would prefer to have him available to him, than not. If he does go, I want to see the £40m we have received for midfield players spent in this window on a player that would cost us at least that. We could also use a loan or two from whichever club buys him, as a part of any deal. This isn't the transfer news that I was wanting to hear this morning (it's a Wednesday too!)

Chindie Posted August 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2022 Selling Luiz is a non-starter. It's a complete madness move. We play with 3 CMs and are thin there with Luiz. Selling him is total madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If Luiz told the club he had no intention of committing to a new deal they are well within their rights to pursue the best deal for the club, as he is entitled to pursue the best deal for him.

Of course. He definitely hadn’t said that before though hence Gerrard’s comments in preseason in relation to Chukwuemeka. If we played him, he likely wouldn’t want to leave. He clearly loves it here.

Oh yeah, I’d be very sad if he leaves. The only scenario where I think he stays is that he knows Gerrard is off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird there have been so many strong rumours that he had signed a new deal. I'm surprised Utd haven't tried bringing him in to play with Casemiro like they do for Brazil but I guess they have Fred for that. I find it worrying that 3 central midfielders (Chuk, Doug and Sanson) don't seem to want to stick around and play for one of the PL's best ever central midfielders.

Demitri_C Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We will obviously get a replacement in if luiz goes. There is no chance he goes and we dont replace him. That would be a relegation move. Wonder if gerrard might try get a player from them in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it all a bit strange. Nothing indicates that he’s solely driven by money. I don’t know what’s happened to suddenly be at this juncture where we lose yet another name for reasons that are equally alienating to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuk was only after the money so for me he doenst come into the conversation. Sandon and luiz definitely have grounds as they have been used poorly by gerrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 One of my fave players so I’ll be pretty pissed if he is sold right now. Especially as Gerrard is the one agreeing to sell him despite him not being in the role come Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
