Douglas Luiz

[JTBlue1999]

We be fine now because of the games he has played in premier! Villa got him because they were going to play him we couldn't guarantee it and why we wouldn't get a work permit at the time..

How was Villa allowed to get him a work permit but we couldn't when we wanted to sign him? Seems like a stupid rule.

Tolmie thinks we are in at the last minute. I reckon we can offer much better terms than Juve. We also have the likes of McAtee that could be tempting for Emery, look at what he has done with Rogers!

A fee of £43m mentioned then deleted by request....

villa signed him 2 years later after 40 games in europe (think there was a rule change) he met more criteria

No. He’d be an overseas player.

No. He’d be an overseas player.

anyone bar Frimpong would be at this point as well.

Nationality is a non bearing on this window. (just to clarify for others)

Isn't that a ridiculous rule.
Now we can have Douglas Luiz but not when we signed him originally.

Playing fifa helps to learn about other players but that means playing fifa and my time is a bit more important to me than that! Haha!

It was a little irony from my side :)

I thought that but he did have two years as our player under 21.

I was corrected earlier. He was out on loan overseas, so those years don’t count.

I know you were but the ruling is nonsensical.
We couldn't play him because he wasn't considered good enough and an improvement to our team.
At the same time, we are being hounded for paying too much for players.
There should be no situation where a player can be eligible to play for one team but not another in the same league.
