YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Carlos Puyol just announce hes going to leave barcelona...Great opportunity to sell high for Luiz... Or not.People dont realize what a great player and asset Luiz is. Great as both CB and DM. Just remember Mikel and Lampard wont be with us for much longer. Neither might JT (though he's looking great atm) and theres always the risk of injuries to any player. NishC300 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he's a good DM yes, but as a centre half he is a liability. The only place to be, lionsden, MrExcalibur100 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember Mikel and Lampard wont be with us for much longer. Neither might JT (though he's looking great atm) and theres always the risk of injuries to any player.Exactly. How many times has Luiz helped us keep the pressure on our opponents when we've desperately needed to come back in a game (IIRC game against EVE this season, Game at OT last season in Cup)Here's a wonderful analysis by Neville on him: (I think this is the video since they removed the one I saw, try the suggested videos if nec) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 There will be world cup and Luiz might just prove how good/bad CB he is. I hope we dont sell him before WC if Mourinho decides to sell him. His price could go even higher after good tournament and might be his chance to prove himself to Mou.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 People dont realize what a great player and asset Luiz is. He's versatile, but as a CB he's simply not been that great this season. Dropped twice, lacklustre displays and the emergence of Cahill and Terry as the best partnership in the league mean that a pricey back-up who you can't rely on simply might not be worth turning down the possible offers. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Luiz as a DM. We don't need to buy a 30-40mil CM. We have a perfectly decent one in our squad.Don't expect lamps to get an extension and defonitely think that mikel will be sold. Hence matic, rambo, luiz and mvg as our pivot options is quite good.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 He isn't a great centre half. Think he's a good DM yes, but as a centre half he is a liability.A liability? LMAO. I cant even believe I see a word like that. You're talking as if playing Luiz as CB means some kind of danger because of a few "incidents" he may have caused and because he's a different type of defender than what you might be used to. I believe people look at him and when he does something, think "oh that COULD have gone bad IF it didnt go this well this time". He's versatile, but as a CB he's simply not been that great this season. Dropped twice, lacklustre displays and the emergence of Cahill and Terry as the best partnership in the league mean that a pricey back-up who you can't rely on simply might not be worth turning down the possible offers.Dropped twice? Well, so has Oscar. So has more players been. Plus, we sometimes needed him as DM and Cahill really stepped up and he's been solid since. Because Cahill+JT works really well atm, that doesnt make Luiz worse. Calling Luiz a back-up is just plain stuipid pardon me. "Cant rely on". Wow...Im speechless.

You can't deny the fact that we don't look as good and solid at defending when he's playing CB.. with all my love to him.He's a descent DM but not good enough IMO (maybe if Matic is injured).Has great potential for a CB but its not going for him here ATM and we can't not consider any selling options.

zolayes 14,489 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 in the last 15 years we have been lucky with CBs we have had Great ones and Good ones just my opinion but GREAT ,, Marcel JT Ricky ...

Eligius 121 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 David Luiz would look world class though on either Barcelona or Bayern (maybe PSG).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Here we go again...Barcelona to bid £25m for Chelsea's David Luiz now that Carles Puyol is on his way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Here we go again...Barcelona to bid £25m for Chelsea's David Luiz now that Carles Puyol is on his wayI think if Barcelona bid higher (maybe 30-35) then Chelsea will sell Luiz.. We have Zouma now, among other good young players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've looked shaky at the back everytime he's played there this season to be honest. The only place to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 All I know is that we're all still waiting for this consistent, WC defender to show up at almost 27 years of age...I think we'd be mad not to sell for around £35m. People saying play him in midfield just proves my point. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickpassnmove 924 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Chelsea will do well to sell Mikel, Luiz and get rid of Torres ASAP. Already done good with the sale of Mata. Just a shame that Torres' presence seemed to precipitate the sale of a valuable player: D. Sturridge. The Blues still have plenty to spend in order to have enough quality in every position. Fullback, striker, and center midfield depth on the agenda. Get rid of the 3 players above posthaste. MrExcalibur100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drog.ba 239 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'd sell him for the right money I think, it's unlikely we'll be able to replace his ability on the ball and long range passing ability from defence, but he isn't a great defender and isn't first choice, nor do I think his long term position is in midfield. His reputation over here doesnt help him and Barca would likely be an ideal fit for him, plus we look better with Cahill/Terry in defence. Would like to see us try to sign Varane as a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
