I keep hearing about the buy back clause and the possibility of City maybe buying him back to on sell.How long does this buy back clause last for, 2 years? If City play it clever surely another year with us playing week in week out is better for them than having a 3rd choice midfielder and stopping his development.If Man City did buy him back, especially if it was for the purpose of selling him on again, whats to stop us putting in a bid for him? If they bought him back for $25m to on sell for $40m wouldn't it just be easier to do a deal with us involving us paying another $15m to rip up the agreement?

Personally I think he’s been player of the year based upon his post restart form. Worked tirelessly, been great on and off the ball. Grealish will always get the plaudits but without luiz we would be down

"Buying out" the clause or what not.
Yes would be an awful loss.
Clickbait nonsense. They will still struggle with obtaining a work permit. £50 to H&V if Duggee goes to Man City.
I’m struggling to think of a reason why they wouldn’t exercise the option given he’s clearly worth a lot more than £25m now.The only other thing that would possibly make more sense is them doing it next year when he’s got another PL season under his belt and the risk of an injury or catastrophic loss of form has been reinsured. This is a very one sided arrangement but then he kept us up without costing us anything so we’ve done OK I guess.
