Douglas Luiz

I thought he was excellent at Villa for the last couple of seasons. Apparently, it’s not worked out at Juventus and they are looking to get rid. He probably won’t be too expensive and a good back up to Rodri when he’s back.

No harm in seeing can we get him in on loan at new year

 

[RayCTID]

Maybe in the summer but makes you wonder why Juve are looking to offload.

He was ours originally but the FA wouldn't give him a work permit to play for us. Hence move to Villa.

And he’s going out with Alisha Lehmann. Bring them home

 

[manimanc]

Injury prone i believe. He's only just starting playing after two months out and Juve haven't included him in the Coppa Italia squad.
If he stays fit and is available I'd take him.

 

[Lord Blue]

fairly sure he's been injured most of his time in italy.

 

[Dax777]

No

Always puzzled me. He couldn't get a permit at our place. So got one at Villa. We are in the same country, so surely same rules apply. Don't they?.

Lots of factors. Price in comparison to other transfers the club has made. Also wages.
At Villa he was going to be one of their 'higher' earners; that counts positively to a work permit as it shows he will be a 'key' player.

2nd thread on this guy now, nothing's really changed.

I suppose what has changed is that he wants out and Juventus want him out
Not working out as planned for either party

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Depends on the issue, the write up on the article is not great look.

 

[117 M34]

Would have the benefit of increasing attendances at the women's games when his missus starts playing for city women.

 

[Ste68]

Assuming he is fit would make sense on a loan in January IF we can't bring in a top target, maybe with an option to buy. Not sure if this would fly with Juventus though.

 

[Barcon]

When and why did he leave Villa?

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

leave him in turin. sad enough to join that strange celebration of winning a game against us at the end of the game.

 

[Blue Maverick]

When and why did he leave Villa?

End of last season because of FFP they need the cash otherwise would’ve been screwed going into the CL.

Cheers. I seem to remember him either coming on for Juve against us or being on the bench. I didn't twig at the time. I assumed he was still at Villa.

Was a weird one that, sold luiz for 55 million and bought onana for 60 million, made a 31 million loss on all transfers according to transfermarkt, did they get some players on the drip?
