Douglas Luiz

Watching it now.

Seems ok, hit shot over the bar, lost the ball edge of opponents box and nearly caused a breakaway. Fit rite in.
heard his name more than anyone elses, (got one eye on it while im gaming) sounds like hes the one trying to make shit happen at least.
 
Fernando. If he was a viable target he would have ended up at City rather than Juventus.
Why is it so difficult for you to appreciate the complacency and errors we have made in the last few transfer windows?

Pep has admitted himself that he wishes he’d granted more business to be done last summer but at the time said he was happy with the squad - so no, Luiz not have been considered as a target.

It seems you just want to keep banging on this drum of not needing a midfielder whilst 99% of this forum disagree. Waiting another 4 months does not guarantee any signing will work any better than if signed in January.

I would rather wait and get the correct player in than waste money . Our signings in haven't exactly stepped up to the mark (although Nunes has proved that he is a handy player albeit in a different position). We could start to trust the EDS midifeilders for the rest of this season and see what transpires. That does buy us time.
 
As long as the video stops every 5 seconds and some graphics are superimposed onto the screen to explain what we're watching.
One of the worst things in football. The non-thinking mans attempt to display a level of understanding of football they simply don't have by explaining the most basic of tactics in the most complex manner possible. Give me horrendous music over the top of highlights over this garbage any day.
 
Imo City have used the January window really well so far in conjunction with many players returning to form and or fitness.

The club probably feel that,initially, we have enough to get us into next years CL & go deep in the FAC & CL whilst integrating the new signings ready for a strong, fast start to next season.

In that regard we could be the best prepared & stacked team in the PL,
whilst others are still trying to get their business done in September.

Pragmatism, and our thanks, will probably be needed with Eddie,John S, KdB, Bernardo, NatAk, Gundo & Steffan as a new young team of champions is built.

I would say if all those 7 you mentioned have gone we will not be going into next season stacked at all. You may be right but for me that would be a long way from a settled squad.

We are in a battle to finish top 4 and failure to do so will make it harder to sign players of the quality we need, Pep is not going to suddenly turn to the younger inexperienced players in order to try and do that.

A loan with option to buy for luiz is a no brainer and would provide us with a player who has athleticism and premier league experience. Where is the risk?

You talk about not wanting to waste money and then go on to say Nunes is a handy player which is ironic.…he’s nowhere near the level required for city.

I also doubt that all seven will go, but all will be under review & 4 from 7 will probably, rightly, move on.

Re fitting & refreshing is an essential part of a successful m o, as this season has demonstrated.

Hats off to the past, coats off to the future !!
 
Seeing Luiz name in potential deals with Chelsea now. His agent is probably floating it everywhere

The same poster was repeatedly banging the "we won't be signing anyone in January" drum at the start of the month, yet the rebuild has started with a flurry of signings, so I wouldn't hang your hat on what they're saying.
