Watched the game myself hes nothing special certainly not in the ndombele calibre.douglas luiz did have a big reputation coming out of brazil. has been a little hit or miss the few times i have watched but doesn't look far off from some of our rumored targets.

Dont believe he watched the game tbh.I don't know what game you were watching, but Douglas Luiz got universal praise for that game across Spanish media. Played a big part in Girona's comeback and win.

The game that I watched I'm pretty sure it was Graham Hunter who was ripping him to shreds in the first half saying he was the worst player on the pitch and that he wasn't fit for this Girona team never mind a Pep team. A tad harsh tbf. He did give away the ball a few times and looked average. He did improve in the 2nd half.

Bet you we end up signing aouar from lyon. No direct replacement for dinho. Douglas luiz gets his visa. Slight mod of formation and an abundance of versatile midfielders. Double piv becomes more common feature but not only option... No one of three young guys has too much pressure on them and can divy up minutes depending on the look pep wants for the game. Dinho/Silva start fading out

I suspect this is closer to the truth than many predictions. There is another season in Fern and Gundo, with Phil beginning to pick up more appearances, supplemented by KDB, David and Bernardo. Players will be phased in, as I do not see any of the key players being sold, and Douglas Luiz and Claudio Gomes could begin to pick up some appearances. It will then be a case of the next phase: who is going to replace David and Gundo and that's where a player like Aouar could come in.

Good shout and something I have thought about myself. Aouar looks a terrific player and a Pep type of player too.

Will Douglas Luiz get a work permit this time round?

From the little I saw of him, I don't think he is good enough to be on City's bench, never mind replacing Fernandinho.

We are in the shit with this position again for a little while! Second season in a row we needed an extra body and it didn’t happen!

He's an attacking minded midfielder. Not the right profile of player.

He was brilliant yesterday, I think we could get him.
Anyone watch Girona? Could Douglas Luiz be up to it?

Ideally Kante but maybe the Longstaff lad at Newcastle is worth keeping an eye on. I have only seen bits but he looks like a player to me...

Douglas Luiz i watched the first half against Madrid and he was butchered by the commentator , a little boy lost as he has been in a few games, he will not be ready for next season maybe in a couple of years?He was brilliant yesterday, I think we could get him.
