Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

I’m getting the feeling that this is plan B DM option after the Phillips negotiation. It’s a key position and we need someone substantial there. This was our weakest area in the Championship, so we have to bolster it. Needs must, if it’s a glorified loan so be it.

So, we only sell him back if we are looking to sell him.
Citeh can’t just buy him back arbitrarily.

I'm murky on that point. Doesn't seem to me as if there'd be a point to the clause unless City could activate it whenever they want. i.e. in what scenario would Man City want a player that Villa didn't want anymore?

Strange one this.

My guess would be first refusal if we want/need to cash in.
If they could activate it any time it might as well be a loan.

Is he really an upgrade on what we have?  A 30+ year old with no PL experience looking for one last pay day?

No thanks...

I would love to see him in the premiership even now

This Man City Fan TV video was published on 19 Feb 2019 after Girona's win against Real Madrid. A game where Douglas Luiz played.

Interesting video as he is still developing that why the fee is £15m not £50m

Yeah as soon as I saw buy back I assumed a figure way below likely market rate otherwise what’s the point?

But how can anyone possibly have better than a vague stab at what future likely market value will be these days? Compare what we're now involved in with where prices were when we left it. I've given up guessing, I'm enjoying being along for the ride.

This has been a mental transfer window for us so far and there's clearly still more to come. Doubt we'll see its like again for a long time folks!

I am hoping the next window we will be more established and wont need this amount of signings

This time last year we were facing a bloody winding up order !!
