CarryOnVilla Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 4 minutes ago, VillanousOne said: do we think Doug is a partial PSR sacrifice, because losing Duran and Cash also seems overkill, unless that was always planned. Is the assumption that then in July we can make more signings as the accounts are closed and we can enact the plan we want to, within reason? Our squad is pretty thin in terms of depth, even with injuries retuning I think both Duran and cash was part of the plan. both don’t play well in Emery’s system. seems like Cash can’t and Duran won’t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Just been discussing this with a lad at work, we both feel as good a player as Luiz is he's replaceable, think he fell of a bit of a cliff towards the end of the season especially once Kamara was out for the season. Whether that was games catching up on him or not I actually felt Tielemans stepped into his shoes and did a better job during his suspension also.

Spraying passes out of play, **** me... He played like he was in darkness, he let his man go running free. He couldn't trap a bag of spuds, **** me. **** me, **** me. **** me. **** me. Who is this word removed who looks like Doug Luiz? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Fun Factory Posted June 12 Popular Post Share Posted June 12 (edited) It's a pile of crap. I have watched him develop with the side and he hasn't even reached his peak years yet. Just when we reach the promised land for some accounting reasons which I still don't fully understand we are more or less forced to let one of our key players go in a lopsided deal to balance the books. Never easy with the Villa. Edited June 12 by The Fun Factory 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Always going to have a soft spot for him. One of Smith's first signings when we came up and the Brazilian that has really grown with the club and turned into a wonderful player. He's been the perfect professional that never gets injured and never brings any nonsense baggage. I'm pretty pissed off by the whole thing to be perfectly honest, because if a player deserved to turn out in the CL for us it was Dougie. My favourite player the last few seasons so pretty gutted right now. What makes it worse is it seems he's going for absolute peanuts and in a deal that has vastly over inflated the price of those being swapped for. Absolute shit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wipe out the English clubs who we wouldn't want to sell to, I'd say only Real and Barca are bigger than the biggest Italian clubs and Bayern of an equal standing. Barca are a joke and we probably wouldn't end up getting paid and Real have targeted attackers so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not exactly the European powerhouse of old that's for sure. Still a big name though I did half expect him to end up at one of the likely suspects. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
