Percy says City aren't activating the buy back this summer.

"On Douglas Luiz: Manchester City have no plans to trigger the buyback this summer. Highly likely that #avfc will offer him a new contract ahead of the new season."

If Luiz and Grealish go (and I suspect they will) then we are going to find it extremely difficult to tackle this season with a stronger squad than last year.

Not great.

If they both go that will be another 100 million in the kitty
so a total of £200 million to play with

we will have more than enough to cover Drinwaters wages

Rashica - so supposedly a bloke who grew up in Vučitrn, Kosovo, allegedly thinks Birmingham isn’t cool enough? That’d be like me sitting here in Tipton dissing Paris or New York.

The replies from the Villa fans on there is something special.

Luis Suarez linked with a return to Ajax, wouldn’t mind him leading the line for us!!

Ha! And there was me thinking I was a misery arse, Paulie. I actually think they'll both stay.

I’m 50/50 on the likelihood of them going but if they both did the optics are terrible. Even if the reasons are entirely different, we’re selling our two best players and it would carry the whiff that we hadn’t convinced them we’re serious about building something better than a scraping survival/yo-yo team.

I seem to recall his wife took her time moving from Holland when he joined Liverpool so maybe she wants them to move back there.

How are we meant to convince Luiz considering we have no say in it and neither does the player.

Makes you wonder how the hell Man Utd ever signed any foreign players. No wonder they continue to invest so heavily in their Youth Academy.

EDIT: Is there any update regarding Rashica or is it dead?

Oh I agree. I think it would like something it isn’t.

I disagree, if he doesn't want to sign a contract at Manchester City I very much doubt they could force him. Also, if he told them he didn't want to play there, I don't think they would want him.
