Douglas Luiz - coming back?

[Brazilian Villain]

Does anyone have a screen grab of Barkley correcting Villans about his contract? Pretty impressed he logs onto TBAR or VillaTalk, I guess we need to be more demanding in our way if we want him to sign-up to H&V.

If he didn't weigh in on whether fascism has to be totalitarian or can be merely authoritarian, he probably never will.

He has to be demanding of himself if he wants to sign up to H&V.  At the bare minimum he should at least be able to add a few non-duplicate entries to The Chain thread.

There's only so many Phil Collins tracks you can link whilst having your favourite meal of steak and chips.

Haven’t been Douglas Luiz’s biggest fan but welcome him back as he should be highly motivated to play well enough to either want to stay with us or to put himself in the shop window as Juve done seem to want him.  We also need him to cover the shortfall. Also glad to see Ross Barkley back in training from Friday, another timely boost.

Barkley and Doug effectively auditioning for a contract this summer too.  They should be motivated.

Not Barkley. He’ll be on to you.

Is anyone worried about his physical condition ? Suggestions from Forest fans that he can't run or last a whole game. Dyche has given-up on him pretty quickly even allowing for his preference for sawdust physicality over footballing finesse.

He looks like he's been enjoying a fair bit of churrasco from the photos I've seen in a Forest shirt. He'll soon lose it after a week or two at Bodymoor Heath.

The book mentioned that the mental strain of the system and briefings became a bit of an issue.

Well he's had a nice little break from that with Dyche.

He and Barkley can share the role for a couple of weeks until both have been sharpened to within an inch of their life.

I was against getting him back because he hasn't shown anything since he left us. However with the current crisis, the fact he knows most of our players, manager and systems then welcome back, be good and don't get injured.

I have to admit this is how I felt. But yes, the crisis is bad and hopefully Doug will be glad to be home and under Unai's leadership and will show this in his performances. If he can't get motivated given the opportunity he has now, he never will.
