Douglas Luiz

Doubt there is anything in this. Just be another underwhelming signing.

At least a loan is not a gamble like Nunes, Phillips, Grealish etc

He’s not at the level required and highly unlikely he ever will be either.

Think you’re right . If he was fit & playing well juve would want to keep him

Not always the case. Some signings just don’t work out, manager doesn’t fancy them hasn’t settled etc.

I agree I don’t think it will happen.

But a underwhelming signing I’m not sure about. A loan move where we either sign him permanently if he does well or we then sign someone we can’t in January.

If anything this would be a great signing as opposed to scrambling around and getting a 4th/5th choice like we did with Nunes and being stuck with that player for atleast 2 seasons.

Not done so good at juve though he has a weight / fitness problem so will hardly hit the ground running . Surely other options available.

I don’t think there’s many options available. Zubi was probably the best bet as a 50m release clause but doesn’t want to move.

Sometimes moves don’t work out and not the only player that has struggled to settle in Italy. But not like no PL experience.

I’d be happy if done, but I’ll be happy with any decent signing.

Very impossible

Douglas Luiz moved to Juve because they offered double transfer for his partner and him together. There is no sign of any relationship breakdown. And he took the family and relationship very seriously. Highly doubt he will move so quickly.

Apart form that I think Luiz a good fit for current squad profile. He can offer plenty of running behind. He is not a solo 6 but can do a job with Kova together in the midfield. The only downside he is a very emotional player - hot blood like most of the Brazilians. Meaning he is able to melt down at random occasions - we have seen recently with Nunes.

Not sure if you are aware but, you are talking to yourself.

It's just a tricky one
Hindsight being wonderful we should probably have brought him back in the summer
We didn't and we'd now be risking his fitness, we can't carry more fitness concerns right now (I do get there is no 100% guarantee on anyone we might sign)

€51 mil in the summer. Maybe?

Loan now, with a view to a permanent move. 100% imo. Especially considering the state we are in now!! His thigh injury shouldn't be the defining factor on whether we do this deal or not. He’s certainly not injury prone with 300 games played at 26 years of age.

No guarantee as you say for sure but a one off muscle injury shouldn't be of any extra concern
