2 PL clubs have enquired about taking Douglas Luiz on loan from Juventus, we've been linked with him a few times
I used to bang on about us signing him, but I didn't realise he'd since gone to Juve.
Funnily enough, I think he's another one who signed a January extension when we were after him first of all. Anyway, I'm assuming he's not getting a game at Juve and I'd definitely take him on loan. Head and shoulders above our midfield duffers.
Same thing happened with Caicedo when we were in for him, signed a new deal with Brighton before heading off to the chavs 6 months later for 100 mil. Same will happen here in the summer, it just inflates the transfer fee.
I can never work out what the upside is for the player. If he doesn’t sign, then there’s far more chance of keeping the transfer fee down and having more options of where to go. Once the fee gets astronomical it’s odds on the only option is the chavs.
As you say, happened with Caicedo and I think Neto also signed an extension when we and others were sniffing round.
There’s only one reason a player would sign it and it’s their motivation for everything - loads of cash.
Well yeah, but if you move from the likes of Wolves or Brighton to one of the big boys, your wages will rocket. I suppose they take the view that their club wont release them in January and that they'll move in the summer regardless, so 6 months of higher wages is a plus. The big club should tell his agent not to let him sign and that they'll pay the increased wage amount, plus 10% as a signing on fee. The big club would save a fortune on the transfer fee if the contract was almost up. I've no doubt that the likes of the chavs and City play these games, while we stumble on like naive teenage girls.

Weston McKennie the pudgy CM who weighed down Leeds bench is currently favoured over Luiz, no thanks he's a player we really don't need another CM atm.
A striker and a winger are needed and have been for the last three windows.

He followed the tart from villa women's team out there and I dont think she is doing well out there either
Is he better than merino and partey ? Without a doubt, but he isnt a fcuking striker and that has to be priority number 1, 2 and 3

Personally not fussed about a winger, but imo we've needed a quality striker and centre mid since Arteta arrived.

Well, I agree with that. Both would be nice but a CF is the absolute first priority.

We aren’t signing anyone, let alone a CF and CM.
I don’t think we are either. We certainly won’t sign anyone of the required quality.
Memo to the kroenkes - dont give this clueless c.unt another penny to spend
Either get rid of el basque NOW and then bring in a striker, or keep him until the summer but dont allow him spend any money so that the next manager will have a decent kitty for the summer transfer window
Anyone who thinks that Arteta is going to have an epiphany and sign a striker needs to review how little he has valued the position since taking over. Since he fucked Aubameyang out and Lacazette was moved on, he signed Jesus (whose goal record should have been a turn off but somehow wasn't ) and rather than go and look for a replacement for Eddie, he instead gave him 100K a week at a time when he was about to be off our books
How many windows have gone by and he has ignored the position completely, an arrogant twat like him is not changing his mindset any time soon.
