Now Man City have failed to recall Luiz what happens next? Are we obligated to sell him back at a higher price if MC come calling?
Edd perhaps you know the ins and outs of this?
{Ed002's Note - Manchester City had the option to buy the player back but could not simply take him back without the agreement of the player. Manchester City have apparently considered it but they have other targets for that role and have already signed a youngster who is expected to do very well in that same role, meaning Luiz would be cover at best. I am told the player does not want to return and not play - so he will stay with Aston Villa.}

I read somewhere that Liverpool are looking to offload Marko Grujic, defensive midfielder, who’s just finished his loan deal at Porto. Apparently he will be available for as little as 12 million. Ed001 do you know if there’s any truth in this, also how do you rate him, and do you think he would be a good fit for AVFC.
{Ed001's Note - yes, but he will need a new work permit, which might be difficult to obtain. I like him as a player, but he has had a few attitude issues in the past in training, not working hard enough. That seemed to be cleared up in his loan spell with Cardiff when Colin Wa**er called him out on it publicly, but those kind of things can always return. Good range of passing, makes late runs into the box when given the freedom too, so could be a good option for Villa.}

Thanks for that Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}
