It's a bit shit tbf but for me it suggests just how desperate we are, and not a mark on the staff at the club trying their best to ease the pressure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'd expect with 12 months left we'd get near 40m for him. That's Mount and Gallagher that are being touted for 55m with year left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 PL hardened. 200 odd appearances for the club. Entering his prime years. Brazilian international. Making way for someone who's played at an average level and is unproven and we are (atm) relying on Tielemans which is very worrying (love him as a squad player) There was talk of I'd "sell him if we got 100m" a few months ago so I'm not going to view selling Luiz who's got better year in year out and helped us secure top 4 for 40m quid as a good thing. It's not. As for the signing new deal thing, he signed a new deal when we were at our lowest ebb, we've always given players who peformened well for us wage rises. This is worrying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing worrying about it. We've also just signed one of the hottest prospect as our LB with more to come.

Let them build the squad I will and it's a long way to go but I think we are going to have to spend some to replace Luiz next season and almost our season hangs on getting that player in.

Popular Post PaulMcGrath_5 Posted June 23 Popular Post Share Posted June 23 Probably best to wait until the window is closed to analyse the squad, I’d imagine there are a lot more transfers (ins and outs) to come yet. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a complaint either, you gotta do what you gotta do and Id sooner see Dougie lining up in Serie A than in a gooner shirt. He did the club a solid by signing a new deal when he did. There was a time I worried we might be losing him for zilch, but he’s always been class and probably wanted to give us insurance on bringing money back in for him. Always says how the club have always been great with him etc. No doubt about it though off the back of that first 12 months or so under Unai, his peak value at that time would have been £80m? Its a good deal all around, especially for Juve, only parting with as little €€ as they are; and especially if the 2 lads that come in perform instantly under Unai, we all have another successful season and they triple in value.

jjaacckk91 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 It's been a while since we've sold our best players(jack aside) and especially for not crazy fees. I'm not used to it and I don't like it but I guess we'll have to get used to it as we continue to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted June 23 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23 I understand some fans think the club has been fleeced on this deal, however it’s apparent that Luiz wasn’t going to sign a new contract and he wanted to move for lifestyle reasons. That left the club with a very small target to get the best deal for his transfer. The club could have been belligerent and looked for more money, but reading between the lines, Luiz was pretty specific about what move he wanted and most likely included his partner. It’s rare that a player is wanting a move for life choice, but I can see it happening more with this generation of players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he is a big skiing fan am not sure Turin is a lifestyle change He is moving to sadly a bigger club to play Champions League under a highly rated young Brazilian manager who plays attacking football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy from the beaches of Rio had his head set on moving to the place the 2006 winter Olympic were held due to lifestyle reasons rather than football reasons?

It’s quite obvious the destination played a big role in this deal and why there was no competition for his signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turin is a 4/5 hour drive from Alisha's hometown in Switzerland. Hence why she's also moving (allegedly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even shorter by private jet I imagine. Edit: Honestly doubt they'd do the 10 h commute back and home from Switzerland many time a year when they can just hop on a private jet and be there and back again in just a few hours. If it's lifestyle that's the pull I'd say it's the 1.5 h drive to Milan that's more appealing. Edited June 23 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough if you think that was the driving reason in this transfer. I do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
