No chance, he will go to Arsenal and slot straight in as a starter.

I can’t see Douglas Luiz leaving Villa in the window unless someone puts down substantial money. He has two years on his contract and they’re in no hurry to sell.

He was ours about 5 years ago, but the PL or Fa or whoever ' accidentally ' messed up his registration papers so was illegible to play for us. Iirc seem to vaguely recall that Pep was rumoured to be more than annoyed about that...Just seen that we're looking at bringing Douglas Luiz in from villa. So this would be cover for Rodri.

He didn't qualify for a work permit for us. Managing get 20m and Villa putting him on a big contract is the only reason he qualified.He was ours about 5 years ago, but the PL or Fa or whoever ' accidentally ' messed up his registration papers so was illegible to play for us. Iirc seem to vaguely recall that Pep was rumoured to be more than annoyed about that...
Where did you see that?He was ours about 5 years ago, but the PL or Fa or whoever ' accidentally ' messed up his registration papers so was illegible to play for us.
He was ineligible to play for us at the time.
We had the opportunity to buy him back but didn't.
somehow i feel he is an CFG signingThe Daily mail are reporting we’re are in pole position to sign Argentine teenage sensation Claudio Echeverri from River plate.

This is what I feel about a lot of players lately. I went from thinking, “everyone will want to come to City.” To thinking it’s a much harder sell. There is a world class player in almost every position already, it’s a tough team to break into. I imagine it’s much easier to break into other top teams as they seem less settled line-up wise. And the fans are ruthless. I’ve listened to a few podcasts lately that have mentioned how tough fans have been on the new signings (it’s clear from this forum). I am sure all this makes some players think twice.He’d also know he plays in the same position as Rodri and would be lucky to get 10 /15 games a season, think that will swing it the other way for him.
Although I do think working with Pep is probably a bigger draw than the $ or trophies.
