The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

If I never see Luiz in a Villa shirt again I will be more than happy. Put a proper DM in that team and we win most games.

I agree. He has had long enough to be dominating games but just ambles through them. worst Brazilian midfielder ever (except for fred)

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I’ll raise you Kleberson.

I’ll raise you Kleberson.

World cup winner?

Absolutely.

Different nationality but Stephen Guivarc’h won the World Cup as well but was absolute pants for Newcastle just as Kleberson was for Man U.
There’s certainly been shitter Brazilian midfielders but he was one that sprang to mind.

I agree that's harsh, but I don't think he is going to be the defensive midfielder we need.  We need a better version of Marvelous in there, who will get around and break things up.  Luiz would be more suited to one of the other midfield roles.

Yep, if he's DM replacement then there is no point. Battling it out with JJ, McGinn and Sanson though then I think that's quite healthy. He's 4th choice for me though out of those. Maybe harsh but I prefer what I've seen from Sanson (bar fucking up I thought he played alright today).

[LeonW]

For me, D.Luiz’s biggest issue is that he’s not a natural defensive midfielder. That natural instinct that can buy you a extra couple of seconds is invaluable.

[VancouverLion]

Does he play more advanced for Brazil?

[Holy Trinity]

Does he play more advanced for Brazil?

Most the time yes, Casemiro does the holding when they play together

Linked with Dan Neil at Sunderland. Midfielder (not a DCM), just turned 20 and Burnley also interested. Southampton had a bid turned down for him last season and Sunderland fans reckon scouts from Villa and Wolves have been watching him.

[johnny from donny]

If we want Dan Neil, and he's being talked about being one for the future, I would offer a deal to Sunderland where we buy him and loan him back to them.
It's a win/win for them as they get time to plan his replacement in the summer window while not disrupting their team during a promotion push,  and we get the benefit of him developing with regular senior games.
If we want to put him straight into the first team squad,  then everything I've just typed is irrelevant.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Wonder if Martial would be a good fit. On his way out of Man Utd and a good player.
