We have no shortage of guile in Jack, Douglas and McGinn. Pace and strength. I love that every signing this window will not get physically bullied. Watching guys like Trez get so easily pushed off the ball was so frustrating last season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 1 hour ago, brummybloke said: He looks like he can handle himself although likes his turns a bit too much. Right age, valencia need money and all players are for sale. Would probably cost 20 million which seems our standard price this year. Been reading he has been linked with UTD and has been compared to Matic (lazily)... Loan with obligation to buy would be ok... this is the sort of left field signing I expect us to make during the window. Probs BS and agent hawking him around.

Mister_a Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) If Douglas Luiz is offered a new deal, will it include the buyback clause I wonder? Edited September 15, 2020 by Mister_a 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buyback clause is with the purchase from Man City contract. I can't imagine it would be possible to remove that clause from his personal contract, that will purely be his personal wages, bonuses etc. Edited September 15, 2020 by NeilS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably that clause forms part of the sale contract between City and Villa, so it isn’t going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 2 hours ago, bannedfromHandV said: Looked promising for Brentford and Wales but the joined Bournemouth and nosedived quickly, as many players have joining Bournemouth in the past couple of years. I’d be open to it, would think Smith might be best placed to get him back to pre-Bournemouth form He apparently got injured in January and was out for 3 months so maybe his stats don't look as bad for last season as first thought?

If we could another striker in I wouldn’t be against selling both of them - Must be a sale though and no loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 40 minutes ago, MaVilla said: With buendia saying he wants a return to the prem, I wonder why we are going for someone like traore rather than buendia. Thing with Traore is he can play across the front 3, and his best position may even be striker. With this being the case it makes sense to get both him and Buendia, as well as Rashica. This way Buendia starts right and covers CAM. Rashica starts left covers CF. Trezguet Covers left and right. Traore covers left, right, and CF. It's going to be a 2 games a week season so rotation is going to be very important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd agree with Keyblade we do really need pace. I would love Buendia though, I really hope Leeds don't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess whatever we agree with Luiz, may affect how he feels about returning to them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we need a specialist CDM to give us that insurance. I absolutely agree. We definitely need another body in the midfield. I wasn't suggesting that our midfield is fine as-is. Just that McGinn is good and people seem to underestimate his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
