So many better midfielders we can get rather than someone just because he played for man ****ty

Some of the best insight and analysis you've posted yet. Incredible.

He’s a good player tbh. Lucky that City didn’t get a resale or first refusal clause in there.

Villa fans rate him. 30 mill isn't bad for an internal PL transfer, especially when he's only 23.
Would be very happy with this.

I think the buy back clause expired last summer. There was talk at the time that they would trigger it but then they extended Fernandinho.

It all depends if Villa convince him to sign a new contract. Which I doubt, because the contract is only 1,5 years long now. The player has let it go so far.
35 million pounds is pretty much for someone with 1,5 years in contract, who is not a top player. Next summer he would cost less than 20 I think.

He is a Kia client negotiation a new contract. He does use his mate Edus club whenever he wants more money for his clients

Looking for receipts 👀
Anyone got one of those graphs that compare Luiz, Bissouma and Nevez. All similar age. All similar position. All playing for similar level clubs. All similar priced around the 30-40m level.
Without knowing much about him this feels like a tidy but unexceptional transfer. Not sure how much it’ll take us forward.
Partey, Lokonga, Luiz, Neves(?) Is that an elite set of options?

I’ve watched every every Arsenal and Aston villa game this year ( I but a bet down at the start of the season for villa to make top ten), so I though i would offer my insights:
- Dougie defensively sound with a good passing range. Doesn’t carry the ball forward all that much, not the fastest but has good dribbling skills.
- he has been playing as a 6 for villa but most villa fans think he is actually an 8 played out of position. He has played 8 a few times and been much more impressive. The fact he can play both positions will be very useful as he can cover for both Xhaka and Partey this season( well he’s much better than Xhaka but I know Mikel has a hard-on for Granit)
- he is Xhakaesque in the sense that he doesn’t seem to do anything unspectacular when on the pitch but the team plays noticeably worse without him. He is far less error prone than Xhaka though.
I think he would be great as a squad option. I’m fine with 30 mil as he will have resale value. When he plays it’s easy to forget he’s only 23 as he plays with a maturity and reliability that is impressive.
I hope we bring him into compete with tielemans and partey next season

Only makes sense if he’s taking Elneny place in the squad not good enough to be starting week in week out

I wouldn’t buy a CM this January and wait till the summer. You have Xhaka, Partey, Sambi, Mo etc and there is like 17 games left that are one a week.

Good player. Improves our squad. Wouldn't say no.

Villa would never entertain the idea of selling him to us if his contract wasn't running out in 18 months.
He's a very good player. More mobile and agile than Xhaka, plus a tackler with decent technique/passing.
Whats there not to like? Opportunity signing imo...altho I would prefer Neves to complement Partey.

Xhaka is much better passer though. The Swiss clown is actually underrated. Luiz is a solid squad player. Not someone pushing us forward

I think he's a very solid player with upside and available for the right price. But no doubt, we would need to sign a DLP to help us control games.
Our central midfield needs more than just one signing. If Xhaka leaves in the summer we are just left with Partey? It would be wise to sign Luiz now and then a DLP like Neves or whoever else in that ilk in the summer.
