Unless Dougie Luiz has a release clause any January pursuit will be futile
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.
Actually wouldn’t hate it
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.
