Douglas Luiz - coming back?

[Footy-Vill]

Hope to see Douglas Luiz Playing  some minutes for Brazil.
The matches he's called up are for Colombia away Friday and World Champions Argentina home Wednesday .

Duran not called up for Colombia
Martinez called up for Argentina

That game against World Champions Only Because Martinez Stopped Muani's Shot Otherwise France Would Have Three Stars Argentina is tasty, on paper at least.

We probably won't hear anything substantial about selling players that we don't want to sell. Because clubs won't be given any encouragement and we'll flat bat any interest away.

I mentioned this in the transfer thread a few days ago, but there's always the possibility it's Luiz's agents trying to get him a bigger deal with us. There was talk a while ago about us opening negotiations with him about a new deal after Christmas.
There was stories about Watkins talking to Arsenal just before he signed his new contract last month.

I have no doubt there are plenty of club who covet Dougie, and Arsenal might be one of them. Some of them might even approach us or make a bid - but that is still a million miles away from him actually leaving.  If were mid-table I'd be a "bit" worried, but we're not. We have upward momentum, he's playing well, in a system that seems to suit him, he's scoring goals, and he's back in the Brazil squad - WHY would he want to leave for a club that has the same chance of silverwear this season as we do?

Dougie - as with a few other of our better players with their peak years still ahead of them - might well have their heads turned at some point in the future if it feels like we've stopped improving.  But we're not there yet.  I really don't see us selling ANYONE we don't want to sell in January.  Unless it's really crazy money and Unai/Monchi believe they can weave some magic with the proceeds.
