UpTheVilla26 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I do wonder if he was called Doug Lewis and played like he did for the last quarter of the season if we would all be so gutted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some won't admit... But I think you may actually have a point lol. In fairness though, people are gauging the body of his work, not just the end of season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily one of my fave players but if he has to go, at least I won't have to endure seeing him play against us (watch us get Juve in the CL now ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Oh and Juventus is a disgusting parasite of a club that has been found guilty of match-fixing and are full of gloryhunters from the other side of the country who never actually go and watch the team play live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Juventus are a huge, famous club where some of the best names in football played. They are also massive cheats who got punished for it multiple times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_ian_taylor Posted June 12 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12 1 hour ago, CarryOnVilla said: Actually, where is everyone on this this transfer? Particularly on the 3 components to this, Doug, PSR and the deal im not overly fussed if Doug wants to leave. He’s served us well and I’m not one to stop him wanting a new challenge. the PSR issues, it’s annoying and frustrating that rules need to be broken to get in with the big boys. But the club agreed with them and probably voted for them initially. so it’s hard to fully complain, when many other clubs put up and comply the deal reeks bad to me. Until we get a better idea of the numbers I can’t confirm if we got an undervalued deal for Doug or an over valued deal of their players. But it seems like a mix of both, what’s worse. as of the players coming in, McKennie really needs to impress to win me over, but I’ll give him a chance. Iling-Junior does seem like a great prospect, just a bit iffy to how we position and use him. Doug: sad he won't be playing with us in CL, and we'll miss his qualities a lot, but he does have weaknesses too. Has given us some brilliant moments and performances, but has also frustrated at times. Not irreplaceable, but a big, big miss. PSR issues: Yes, annoyed that overspending on some has put us in a position where we have to sell a key player. But just have to accept it Deal: If Doug is valued at 60m, and we are having to sell for PSR by the deadline, we are losing out on maybe 20m value. Not sure what difference in revenue a points deduction would make, but if it meant the difference between European qualification or not, then the deduction could cost us 20m or so revenue. So it might not be as bad as it seems. We wouldn't be taking Iling Junior or McKennie if they weren't on player lists I think. Might not be terrible if it saves us a points deduction and also allows is to strengthen in due course. Time will tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 A real shame to see someone so likeable and talented who's played such a pivotal role in our re-establishment leave, but I'd sooner the likes of Luiz had to be sold over someone like Ramsey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 If we'd been told a year ago that we could have champions league but it would cost us Luiz, truth is we'd have taken it. That's exactly what's happened. That's what I told myself after wiping my tears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Wonder if the swap element of this deal is to help screw Man City out of as much of the rumoured 20% sell on as possible for PSR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because said fans are creating the narrative in their own head that we don't want the players from Juve and somehow we are being forced to take them in part exchange for Luiz.
