🇧🇷 David Luiz

[The_Flash 1,144]

I couldn't believe when I read there was a possibility of his return and didn't allow myself to get excited until about 1230 pm last night when they showed him on Chelsea TV in the shirt and my heart skipped a beat. I was so sad when he left, I loved him, was a great player for us and deleted he's back and to hear it was him that pushed for the move and really wanted to come back to Chelsea. I mean what more could anyone want than a player desperate to come back and wear our shirt. I can't wait to see him playing again.

He's had really good games against both the Manc clubs

 

 

 

Interesting that he joins us at a time when they are our two biggest threats to the season

Not a really big fans of this signing. 

I don't like CB who tends to make tons of mistake. But sometimes he can be absolute beast, but we need a cb so can't realy complain

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

So let me get this straight; 

Chelsea spend the whole summer trying to buy a quality cb. People moan because it wasnt happening as early as Kante and Batshuayi. Even though the main target was a Napoli player who are notoriously hard to deal with and they also sell their star striker. The chairman admiys yesterday we bid over £50m for him. People moaned about are 'cheap board'. 

We had over, quality options. For BIG money turned down. Clubs just would not negotiate. Fast forward 2 days before deadline day. Everything looks dead in the water. 'Stupid board, cant they see we need a Cb?!', 'here comes another Djiloobobobodrilri'. 

We end up buying David Luiz back. The guy who was a beast against Napoli and Munich no less when we won the champions league - WHILE INJURED! - and partnered a midfield with matic which saw us shit down all top teams (city, Liverpool, United, Arsenal) with domination in the middle of the park that we havent really seen since (discounting king Kante). 

Because, in the situation we were in, it was really better to have just bought Alonso and waited for a world class cb (forgetting we need to get back into the top 4 first!) 

 

Cheer up. We didnt stick with Terry and Cahill in defence. We didnt sign a papylibidibidi. IVanovic may be benched! And we got the Geezer back with Spine and character this team hasnt had since Drogba and Cech left.

Yeah that is what most PSG fans are saying. 

It seems we wasted money for nothing on DL and Alonso. Should have just stayed with what we got because what we bought aren't any better then what we got.

My wild guess is that Emery told him he will be on bench as soon Thiago comes back.

He didnt want that and when he saw Chelsea knocking on door, he saw it as perfect exit and pushed for move.

More possible than the story about his love for Chelsea and saving us.

I really pity footballers when I read these kind of things. The transfer window makes them look like items to be played around with. It just seems so inhuman

I think PSG fans laughing to Chelsea even more then vice verse couple of years ago. Antonio Conte is silent, nothing about Luiz. Suppose he just couldn't believe what Chelsea did to him.

I cba.

[DYC. 7,542]

Maybe he enjoyed life in London more. Maybe he enjoyed Premier League football more. Maybe he found out he impregnated three women in the UK after his move to Paris.

That message could mean anything. People need to find something better to do.

At the end of the day I'm happy to have him back to be honest. I'll take the good, the bad and the ugly. I just love the bloke. Let's just hope the last window (Chelsea spent +/- 120 mil) is an indicator of the club not resting on their laurels anymore.

I don't like his number though.

[bluephoenix 1,131]

I never really wanted him gone in the first place, but now I am not sure what to feel about this transfer!

I mean I like Luiz, I thought he was a true blue and hope he still is in his heart. But like with Mourinho re-entry I am not going to just be happy he is back to me he is a new transfer. He needs  to prove himself, don't care what he did in the past (which was 3 years ago).

Score a screamer like you did when you first joined us against United or City and you will get my respect instantly

KTBFFH! Hope Conte brings out the best of this team and we can win title this season

[Leif 6,006]

As Chelsea fans we have like 5 prominent voices on Twitter, the likes of Dan & then the likes of the WAGNH guys. They're posher than us. Anyway it's that equivalent of PSG fans who're happy with the sale. The fans more likely to scream their lungs out are not satisfied with him leaving, they seem more fond. Tis simply something i noticed.

while I agree with your overall idea that DL return isn't terrible, I do about our staff though.

A wide gulf separates the likes of of djilobodji and koulibaly... do you rate ageing terry, cahill, and ivanovic so highly that only a 50m CB could possibly replace them?

I speak for myself, but I sure don't think we need 50m buys to improve the team. However, I do think Chelsea staff indeed need 40-50m buys to improve the team, and that worries me.

Yes Kante was great, but he wasn't a find! he couldn't be any more on display - it was just a matter of convincing him of the project (Conte did that) and paying him enough to match the opposition.

What I want from chelsea staff is to find the already good players (not kids) who can immediately contribute and then improve eventually becoming important players. Not to only go after the key players of the other top sides, that's just too easy and difficult at the same time.

I agree with Conte, you should only buy if the player improves you. I also take it that this doesnt just mean better than a shoddy Cahill but good enough to play for chelsea and in the team the manager wants. Sure you could say that there were a decent number of cbs out there better than Cahill and Terry, but that doesnt mean they are good enough for what we want. 

The question isnt 'can we find a better defender than Cahill'? That's trivial. The more important question is can we find a defender good enough for a title chasing and CL competing team'? If the answer to the first question is yes but no to the second, we'll be in a merry-go-round like our leftback situation has been.

Honestly, i dont care about 'finds' either. I think its time we look towards Juventus and Munich at how they do business. You have to spend money to compete. Thats how it is. Depending on unearthing a messi or Verratti is a waste of time. The *priority* will be buying ready players. Tha is the rule, 'finds' are the exception. 

Being a premierleague club we will always have money. Continue to build our global fanbase, sponsorship deals and new stadium will mean we should be buying top talent. Anything else is Wenger dream land

I would have liked to see him with #33. Apparently, that's Tomori's number though.
