Let’s see if the summer’s dealings get us close to the former not the latter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Over 200 appearances for us in an eventful, but mostly positive, five years. Good work Doug. There won't be a middle ground at Juve IMO. He'll absolutely fly and be getting chased by Madrid and City, or he'll be looking to come back in 18 months. Edited June 22 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a much much easier league. The problem he'll have is he's not a great self-motivator IMO. He does slip into coasting does the Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 3 hours ago, striker said: Gallagher every time. Brings much more to the table particularly in the Premiership. It really struck a chord with me in his post match interview Emery implying that Villa couldn't handle the power of Palace. If you look at who Villa have been linked to in this window since that last game of the season then the overall trait has been youthful athleticism! Furthermore, Villa received several hammerings being run ragged so that will also have not gone unnoticed. Villa will be much better without Luiz as the linchpin of midfield and I'm so looking forward to that. Especially you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep… and tbf, he’s gonna play for a very promising young manager (not in Unai’s class though) who was desperate to sign him. He’s gonna thrive… but don’t forget who made you Dougie.

His skill makes the incredibly technically awkward look as easy as the tap ins. Would have loved him to stay, and I was very critical of him this season just gone. The club have done the right thing moving him on if he wouldn't extend with two years of his contract left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Was happy when we got him as seen him play for girona, easily been my favourite midfielder in these 5 years, wish him well at Juve, just hope we get someone as good, as a replacement for him now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Unai , and Monchi is making moves… we’ll be fine. A shame we are losing such a classy and integral player though… would’ve loved to see him shine in CL for us. Oh well… we move on. Loved how invested in the club he was, and the passion he had for us. Such a technically gifted and composed player. F PSR. He’s got that record of consecutive goals at VP too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corleone Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 do we still need to generate another £30+m before the end of June to meet the FFP requirements or does this deal cover it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Happy for Doug, hope he smashes it. but I don’t know what the f to make of this 2 players coming our way deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) I’d rather not rely on hearsay and just speculate, no idea whether he actually refused a new deal, but I can’t begrudge him a move to a more appealing lifestyle and country, a new challenge and environment too. And he probably is settling down for the future… Much better, and palatable, than him sticking around in PL and facing us regularly for another/rival team… wouldn’t mind meeting him in CL and giving Juve a good beating Enjoy Dougie, you did well for us Edited June 22 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted June 22 VT Supporter Share Posted June 22 Thanks for everything Dougie! Leaving on a high after securing champions league for us. By all rights he should have left during the Gerrard debacle, but he signed a new contract against the odds and was a big part of the upswing under Unai, so I feel like we have had a good innings from him. He will be a monster in Italy where he will get an extra second on the ball at all times, which will suit his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
