Tchege 48 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 So this basically means that PSG is giving ffp the middle finger?

Popular Post! Mr_President 404 Posted May 23, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted May 23, 2014 Can only echo what others have said really.Luiz came to us full of promise, as you'd expect from a young CB costing £25m-ish. He has had some fantastic periods here, despite short term thinking that forces opinions to the contrary. However, this season especially, he has shown that he cannot be completely relied upon as a top CB should be. He has been useful in midfield, but that is the extent of it. He is essentially our 3rd/4th choice CB and a part-time midfielder. If we are able to get anything over £30m for him it is fantastic, nevermind the 40-50m prices that are being thrown around. I do not feel the way our team is set up gets the best out of him as a CB. At Bayern or Barcelona, for example, I think we would fit in very well with his aggressive pressing, his decent passing and pace. Defending deep and being fully concentrated for the whole game like he has to be at Chelsea doesn't suit him.Wish him the best because for all his errors and flaws, he seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and is no doubt a very talented player.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 No he is not, they did use him and was quite poor. If they do sell marquinhos they can fetch around 25m. Marginal loss for PSG.Luiz+Silva are the best CB pairing in the world, i truly belive that outside of Thiago Silva that David Luiz is as good as any CB in the world. Also David Luiz is very marketable and one of the most recognizable defenders in the world. A marketing agenda is also behind this buy.As for us if we do inded buy a LB, Azpi can go back to RB and that would allow Ivanovic to become our 3rd CB, Ivanvoic is absolute quality as a CB so we don't need to buy another CB to replace Luiz. Luiz is still a big loss not only from quality perspective but also like Mata a major loss as an ambassador for the club. Truly going to miss Luiz.I think Luiz showed enough times he's not a reliable CB like the best in the world. Marquinhos, who's 7 years younger, was a fantastic CB in Roma, thats why PSG got him for 30m, but they didnt gave him the chance to stay in the line up, they preferred to go with Alex who already used to play with Silva. Did Luiz ever was a fantastic defensive CB anywhere? not in Chelsea, i dont think he was in Benfica either, so i dont know how can you say he's more talented than Marquinhos. Luiz is the one who needs to prove himself as a great CB in the age of 27, Marquinhos has a lot of time and imo he's already better in the main aspects.Luiz would have been brilient in Barcelona, he's perfect for the position football and the attacking approach. I think he could be good in PSG because he playes with Silva, but Marquinhos could have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drog.ba 239 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Benatia's the player PSG should've gone for, although I suspect they wanted Luiz for reasons off the pitch as much as his ability. If we are looking for a replacement he'd be the first player I'd hope we go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Cant see why is everyone soo excited....its not like you will get any of those 50m And there is no guarantee we will actualy spend that money on world class CM, striker or whoever..Right now only thing is that we are about to lose one of biggest faces of this Chelsea team.Mata and De Bruyne are showing they are still fantastic players...Its Mou fault as he is unable to adopt himself to suit the players and team we already have. He needs to sell half of players and bring half new ones to make his team work...it better work for Mou next season, because if we lose titles, he will get fired and we will stick with bunch of players that no one will be able to turn into decent attacking football side...

It was because we had Hazard, Oscar and Mata. Not all 3 can play at the same time as shown by RDM time. It was too much of a liability. When Benitez came he hardly ever start them 3 cause he knew it brought no balance. With Mourinho he preferred Oscar as Oscar brought more of a balance then Mata, despite Mata being more creative. Either way one had to stay on the bench, and so happend it was Mata and he didn't like it. Rightly so for a player like him, hence it was best for him to leave. KDB, might have a point as he was not really giving a chance and we went and bought Salah. I rather had kept KDB then buying Salah but it is what is.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 People gawking at this price forget Luiz is probably the 2nd most marketable Brazilian player out there behind Neymar. PSG have obviously factored that into the equationAnd its clear they want it done before the World Cup starts. Naming rights will play a huge part.

Duppy Conqueror 1,538 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 50m for a guy that doesn't appear to fit in with our plans is always good business. Will pay for Costa and leave about 18m in the kitty to go with what we already have for a CM and LB.we have his replacement at CB already signed.

Luiz has been a defensive liability the moment he stepped into Stamford Bridge. It's not a Mourinho thing. If anything, Mourinho and the CFC board especially should be getting praised for selling a player we don't need for twice his actual value!Luiz will be a defensive liability at CB in any side in the PL, even City. bababoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
