MapleVilla Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I wonder if there was anything put in the contract to say he can't play against us in the first season? Probably not. Always think of Coutinho playing for Barca but was on loan at Bayern Munich, and scored against them in the semi final I think it was. Absolute joke of a setup and a period in which Barca made some awful decisions at the exec level. I wish nothing but the best for Dougie, but hopefully if he plays against us he has a bad game and we beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give him a fantastic reception like Beckham got at Old Trafford and then the moment the game kicks off boo him Edited August 29 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 He was a brilliant player for us. Anyone giving him anything but a phantom boo once the game kicks off needs to give their head a wobble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘can’t play against your parent club while on loan’ rule only seems to exist in the Premier League, and it only seemed to be implemented because Lúa Lúa scored in the last minute against Newcastle once.

And he's not on loan. Zero chance of such a clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am guessing he was late back to pre season that he is still learning Motta way of playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly couldn't control the game, Doug didn't show himself up, was tidy and managed the ball well but I'm a side getting dominated at home by Roma. He should probably be starting but it looks like Motta has some work to do after tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some apparently, outspoken journalist has questioned the ethics regarding Dougie's move, suggesting it was more about helping us with FFP than it was a great signing. If that's the case, so fecking what!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got all the attributes to do very well in serie a bit Juve Is a weird culture. You either take on all the rules and traditions and fit in or you don't last long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Rush stand out, as that was with the "Old Lady." Rideout at Bari. Didn't Bergkamp struggle at Inter? To this day, I still consider Bergkamp the finest players to have graced the Premier league. I hope Dougie has success there, if not, I'm sure he'll be welcome back in the distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 3 VT Supporter Share Posted September 3 I think we'll move on fairly quickly from Dougie. Onana is an upgrade, we won't need to look back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana is an upgrade, we won't need to look back I still think to get where we ultimately want to go we need both, that might have been the plan, onana was always coming but it was in addition to luiz not instead of Onana Luiz Kamara Tielemans pick 3 of the 4 every week then Barkley on the bench too, that would be incredible depth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
