🇧🇷 David Luiz

[zolayes 14,489]

perhaps to get the best out of every player a coach needs to be " The Extra Special One "

I disagree.

Silva is better than Luiz on the ball and better off the ball. Silva's primary weakness at times is aerial battles.

Whenever, I see both of them paired up, Luiz plays like JT/Cahill and Silva plays like Luiz (as the agressor). From what I recall, Silva was a striker in youth level, however, became a defender by default.

Agree to disagree then, because for me the gap between the two players in terms of technique is immense. Really don't think much of Thiago Silva aside from his reading of the game - obviously pretty important skill for a defender.

I think you need to watch Brazil more because David Luiz is the player designated to carry the football forward by Scolari, which is the obvious choice for pundits and fans alike. Thiago Silva has no long ball to speak of, while Luiz has assisted Neymar and others a number of times. His passing has been pretty impressive for Brazil. They've both been very impressive for Brazil - best CB pairing I've seen in many years; too bad the rest of the team isn't at the same level.

Interestingly, we haven't really heard whether PSG will employ him as a CB, CB/CM, or CM. People just assume he's going to be employed as a defender.

Zolayes,

Yup Scolari and Benitez are also special ones...

Besides, if Jose did not get the best of DL and sold him for 50m imagine if he had... Watch out Bale!

We will see who was right in the next few years.

Knowledge of football = 0.

no its not. Salah and Willian are not on the same level as Mata.

comments like yours piss me off, its real easy to call someone an idot. proving it is the difficult part.

good business but I really don't want us to sell another young player

This guy has gone nuts. Every post I read coming from him, I lose a bit more hope in humanity.

In his prime, 27 isn't old though. But like I said earlier, its a good deal for us but I don't wanna keep selling our good players.

how the hell are you not ban yet? do you have a waiver from the developer of the site our something? everything you post is so out there

This guy has a question mark at the end of his name, pretty much tells you all you need to know about him.

[Special Juan 28,141]

Has the price been confirmed for him?

you don't know what the ? means, so just go back to riding Jose's nut sack along with jose1983

[Chelsea? 892]

I don't think so, but most sites seem to be pointing towards the 45+ range. Which makes me think Chelsea are the only team that is concerned about FFP.

[Special Juan 28,141]

He deserves a thanks for what he has done since being at the club which included a CL winning medal. I wish him all the luck in the world.

But from a business point of view this was 100 percent the right thing to do, end of.

[DJames 729]

Just realized we have freed up squad numbers 3 4 5 6 and 10. Looks like our impeding arrivals have some nice numbers to choose from.

Hazard already has his eye on 10, so 17 might be free as well

The club should propitiate us by selling Torres

[Henrique 9,133]

This topic became embarrassing. I really don't know what Mourinho has to do with Luiz leaving. Even If he was our best player last season, for 50m he would be a PSG player next season anyway.

Mourinho sell players and bring players if the board allow those transfers. Matic looks like a Mourinho signing, but Salah looks the typical signing of past seasons : a mediocre player bought because he is u23, so he is a "promissing talent". I think Mourinho had nothing to do with this signing, its a indication he is sharing the power. He is not playing Football Manager and deciding everything.

Mourinho has nothing to do with the price PSG is paying for Luiz, or with the price United paid for Mata, or KDB or with Matic's price, so suggesting "he" got 90m for Mata, KDB and Luiz is ridiculous.

Mata's price was based in his performances between 2011/13, before Mourinho. Luiz price was based in his performances between 2010/2013 and in his performances for Brazil, his price as a Mourinho's player is under 10m. KDB price is based in his performances in Germany, and Benfica decided Matic price, not Mourinho. The board deserves credit for those transfers, and if you ask me they were all BIG deals (Salah aside).

Mourinho gets credits and criticism even when he doesn't deserve.

[Henrique 9,133]

I think Luiz is exactly the kind of player PSG need.

He is a very intelligent guy (not talking about his tactical intelligence), big personality. In the defeat for Chelsea it was clear PSG still lacks personality, they lack big characters like Luiz.

I think he will be huge success in Paris.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Well said Henrique.

It really does seem so when you look at the transfer news
