Comprehensive look into his game here

They had to sell to comply financially.
I’d have him here, good player. Maybe not a starter but better - and more dynamic - than what we currently have.
Shits on Kovacic, current Kev and Gundogan.

Kovacic is bang average. I’ve said this from the start. Woeful that a player reaching his level cannot use his left foot for even the simplest parts of the game.To be honest I can't entirely get behind this transfer. He seemingly couldn't make the first eleven of a poor Juventus team, and this was telling.
The idea of a short term loan I would have supported, but the obligation to buy is another thing. Is he any better than Kova as a Rodri backup? If not then I can't see the point.
No he isn’t. Bloody hell. Douglas luiz better then kdb (even this version) is one of the daftest things I’ve ever read.Shits on Kovacic, current Kev and Gundogan.
Probably equal to kovacic imo

Get a grip mate Kev is that far over the hill he makes Stephen Hawkins look like prime Zidane.
He doesn’t even play. How is he shitting on someone.Shits on Kovacic, current Kev and Gundogan.

I don't think he is as good as any of them. Even in this state.
And that's not blue tinted specs as I see him as one of our own too.

Only when he’s fit which isn’t very often apparently.Would prefer a loan with no obligation to buy, but if he does join he will at least provide energy and legs which we are sadly lacking currently.

Luiz is a better 6 than anyone we have available right now.....obviously not better than rodri but he is better than Gundo, Kova rico and Bernardo in that role so if we can get him then its a decent transfer.....
Remember Pep wanted him years back so he must have seen something in him. .....he also did well at Villa and has that premiership experience

Similar feelings tbh. Only thing I'm thinking is he'd be relatively inexpensive for a very good player, if not a game changer (even less than Phillips for example). And other posters make a good point that he's PL tested so could slot in quickly.

Agreed. The other transfers, whilst exciting are potential. We need help in midfield NOW and Luiz definitely improves us.Douglas Luiz would walk into our team as its currently constructed. Even if a loan this excites me more than any other rumoured transfer purely on need alone.

Never took to this guy. Not bad just standard. Not a City player for me, though he comes in a nice girlfriend.
