    One thing I’m absolutely certain of is us not getting Douglas Luiz in the middle of Villa’s best season in years. But I know my club, we’ll spend most of the Jan window pursuing him anyway

    I’ll be disappointed in Jesus if he chooses to start against Argentina even though he knows he has an injury. It’s not about putting Arsenal above Brazil, but more the fact that he’s gonna screw himself over with his recovery.

    I get why we have international breaks but I wish they weren’t this frequent and long at the beginning of the season, it really feels like the leagues can’t build up any hype for the first half of it cause every time shit gets juicy boom 2 week international break

    Whatever we do in January, I think people should not start looking at any prem midfielders to fill that gap.

    They’ll all be too expensive and unlikely to leave

    Tbf if we’re gonna waste money rather Luiz than Toney. Rather a Midfielder than a striker.

      I’m pessimistic as well.

      It sounds like that thing DoFs do where a manager demands a solution, then they punch in the numbers and find the best available option, fail because it was almost impossible, and go down the list; down to someone cheaper, last year of contract and senior. Basically the Jorginho play book.

      So, welcome Adrien Rabiot.

      Players can force moves we all know that is the case. He can refuse to train or play until he gets a move. For all we know he wants out of villa.

        It doesn’t matter. Forcing a move doesn’t exactly change anything. Zaha tried that before we went for Pepe and the price was still the same. The most recent example is Caicedo.

        The most famous one is Antony. Forcing a move doesn’t knock down the price ESPECIALLY if you’re a desirable asset by the club.

      For me, offensive player who is good off the ball. If they can drop in to play in the pivot, even better.

        I just don’t see why we’d need another one. We have four players who can play 6, four who can play 10 and only one who can play 6/8. Currently we need to play Rice - Jorginho - 10 every game. If Rice gets injured our season will collapse because Jorginho with any 2 of our 10s will get run over by any midfield we’ll face.

    Can someone explain why Douglas Luiz for £60m now is a better deal than £30m for Douglas Luiz the last time we tried to get him. Cheers

    Ladies and Gentleman, your honour, we have made it half way through the international break. It will soon be over, this terrible nightmare will be history 🎉
