LAB 1,030 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Wouldn't say no to 50m for Luiz not now not ever to be honest. The fact that he would be suited to us more than GC is true though, not even debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Garry Cahill is a good player to have on the bench and have come in for rotation or in case of injury. That has been my opinion of him since day one of his Chelsea career and 3 years later it is still exactly the same.

lionsden 4,689 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Having watched Cahill's performances this season I take back most of the things I ever said about Luiz. Though who else, apart from José, could have known we were switching to a higher defensive line this season? If I'd have known that I'd have advocated Cahill's sale rather than Luiz's.Selling Luiz was the right move and keeping cahill (No one has the power of hindsight) was the right decision given he had just came off a season in which he made the list of the EPL's best 11. Not even his biggest critics could have foreseen his drastic loss of form this season.But I do however agree that he doesn't suit the highline system and Jose should be blamed for leaving us extremely thin at the back by not replacing Luiz with an established defender and not recognising Cahill's strenghts and weaknesses which would have revealed he's unsuited to the system he's tried to implement this season.

DYC. 7,542 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Garry Cahill is a good player to have on the bench and have come in for rotation or in case of injury. That has been my opinion of him since day one of his Chelsea career and 3 years later it is still exactly the same. Agree. It's why I can't fault Cahill, because this is who he's always been. It's the players around him that got better, not Cahill himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Well something is obviously being lost in translation because Luis spends more time in the opposition half than he does in his own, though the sole reason we bought him is because we needed a more offensive left-back to compliment Dave, who is more conservative in his attacking. Agreed, we're not playing as high as AVB had us playing, but that's because José isn't as tactically naive as he was. But we are playing further upfield, and we're doing so with two incredibly slow centre backs, an AWOL right-back in Ivanovic who thinks he's Gareth Bale out on the wing and a clearly knackered CDM in Matic who looks so tired he could nod off in the centre circle. Luis hardly plays a lot but even when we lineup with him at LB and Ivanovic/Azpi at RB, one of them will always stay near the halfway line (attacking half or not) to make sure we don't get exposed down that side when the other FB goes forward. To say Azpi is conservative in attacking is slightly off considering he's playing at LB. His offensive attacking instincts are bound to be restricted and it would be the same thing if we have him at RB and Ivanovic at LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after that there was no one decent avaliable, and as much as I think Luiz's supposed error phrone game is widely exaggerated, the offer we got was far too good to turn down. I think Mou will be looking for a proactive centre half, but is prepared to wait, which is what I like a lot about him, he could have returned and panicked about the CM and ST issue and panic brought someone who wasn't that much off an upgrade, but instead he waited and we ended up with Matic, Cesc and Costa instead of Capoue, Paulinho and Soldado.

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I read on Twitter that he was shite today again. Not going to judge though, but based on his form it wouldn't be surprising.Also from Twitter: Cahill and Kompany would make a great defensive partnership for a Fraud XI. lucio and BlueLion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 We all know Cahill has been poor and is average, but would like to take a positive spin on things for a moment. His back heel flick goal was quite brilliant. Great improvisation. Bosnian Blue and CeleryFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His back heel flick goal was quite brilliant. Great improvisation.yup defo was. Zola moment. Was clearly at fault for the 4th goal but did not really matter. Also Christensen was just ball-watching. The other were collective mistakes, everyone of our team completely out of position and missing the 2nd goal. Zouma , surprisingly, was not the saviour himslef as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
