Transfer Rumour Douglas Luiz

[witchdoc187]

A quick Google tells me he is signing for West ham, Leeds and maybe us.

I've been digging into this, and it turns out Giovanni Albanese was repeating what Gianni Balzarini had said hours before on YouTube. Italian media outlets are all crediting Balzarini, so it's funny that English media are crediting and citing Albanese. It sounds like if you know Italian media, and especially Juventus, you'd know that Balzarini breaks news and Albanese repeats it for a younger audience.

Balzarini is a well-known and respected journalist who has covered Juventus for years and years and has a strong track record for early reporting. He really knows the club and seems to have connections and insights. He's a real Juventus journalist.

And it turns out that Balzarini says that he believes a deal will be reached, so maybe Alan Myers is being told there's nothing so as to downplay their interest during negotiations.



He starts talking at about 7:07:

Douglas Luiz — Everton che sta facendo abbastanza sul serio. La Juve vuole reallizzare 40 milioni, una quarantina di millioni, 10 + 30. l'Everton arriva a 30 complessivi. Anche il credo che si troverà un'intesa.

E Douglas Luiz, al di là tutto quello che si può dire, eh si può pensare ognuno pensa a modo suo, per alcnui è molto forte, per altri è un bidone. Come bel calcio c'è una varietà assoluta di commenti, uno diametralment opposto all'altro, quindi ognuno si fa la propria idea.

Ma è un giocatore ufficialment in uscita Douglas Luiz, perchè la Juve interverrà comunque anche sul centrocampo, non solo eventualmente con Hjulmand, ma con altri profili molto probabilmente.

And here's a translation:

Douglas Luiz — Everton is being quite serious about him. Juventus wants to bring in €40 million, around that figure—€10 million plus €30 million. Everton is offering €30 million in total. I believe a deal will be reached.

Douglas Luiz, regardless of everything that can be said—people have different opinions. Some think he’s excellent, others consider him a flop. That’s the beauty of football: there’s a huge range of views, often totally opposite to one another. So everyone forms their own judgment.

But one thing is clear—Douglas Luiz is officially on his way out. Juventus will make moves in midfield regardless, possibly including Hjulmand, and likely other profiles as well.

Say what you will about Alan Myers, but here is what he said:

"My information is" doesn't mean "I haven't heard about it," but rather, "I was told it's not happening." So whether you think he's getting good information or not, he's saying that his club source dismissed these links.

Myers his nephew works in the fanshop in charge of shirt printing. He has heard nothing of printing shirts for Luiz confirmed

It's really not that much these days. It's the same as we've paid for a fairly unproven striker and similar to what newly promoted Sunderland have paid for Diarra, a fairly unproven midfielder. For that we'd be getting a player that is proven quality, older yes, but only just turned 27. I think it would be a fair valuation.

Issue is more likely to be what wages is he on and could we / would we match that?

Legendary game. Anyone play Emlyn Hughes International Soccer despite him being a dirty RS?

…I knew him a little after I signed for RS in ‘71.

I stayed on in school but started getting big thigh muscle injuries so had to go into Anfield for treatment in lunchtime, loads of teachers volunteered to take me so getting a lift was never a problem. Joe Fagan treated me but Emlyn Hughes would come into the treatment room, put a bit of Vaseline on his hair and always nice enough to say hello and ask how I was going.

Nice story Eggs, despite his Liverpool are magic Everton are tragic quote he sounded like he was a people's person who showed interest in the younger players making their way in the game

Yes mate. I used to always score against my brother with a diagonal shot from the halfway line. He refused to play me and said i was so boring I was the Steve Davis of emlyn Hughes. Shortly before accidently treading on my subbueto players. Good times

Sibling rivalry at its finest!

Ah now I know where your comments on DCL's quad injury and other "big muscle" injuries come from.

Sounds like you had a claim for med negligence against the RS ( I'd have nightmares about being there too ) - shame about the limitation period on such claims

…I think they paid lots for him so will want to recoup as much as possible.

You'd pass the FBI recruitment process with investigations like this!
