🇧🇷 David Luiz

[The only place to be 11,313]

He played out of position in midfield, but to call the experiment a failure is complete bollocks (shocker). He provided us something we were lacking in that midfield and that was passion and drive. He didn't have the fitness levels required but he still stepped up when other players in that position showed a distinct lack of drive, passion and bollocks at times.

He is still very much a CB but he showed his true colours last season when he did a job he wasn't familiar with to the best of his abilities which is why he gets so much love from the fans (and is also the reason other players simply don't receive the same level of affection within Stamford Bridge).

Exactly. You can say that he has not been sufficiently tested vs the top teams while playing in the pivot. That would be sensible.

But to say, 'david luiz in midfield' experiment failed is downright stupidity.

[Special Juan 28,141]

We have now the best solution to David Luiz, it's called Mourinho.

Jose will turn this lad into a beast, you watch.

[zolayes 14,489]

I would be really upset if DL4 left. He's just too good.

Just look at his hair and tell me you don't want that around CFC.

hair today ..gone tomorrow ..BUT I want him here for a long time .. He can become our leader and a legend ,,, FOB

[Melanicus 5,208]

Luiz is a joker, took exact picture.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

so cute

[Hkibou 622]

Luiz is a joker, took exact picture.

Remember the time when Brazil was considered the best offensive side but lacked true defenders ?

Well 10 years later they undoubtedly have the best pair of CB a team can dream of ...

Anyway, Thiago Silva is a god on the pitch but I just can't get used to his baby face

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

brilliant picture.

Mou has to have some plans with DL in midfield. We can't go into the season with only Mikel and Essien as options for DM.

[NishC300 1,865]

Some of these rumours are truly very stupid. Why would we ever give Luiz + cash for Rooney? We would never even give Luiz for Rooney!

Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc 31m

Mourinho repeats that there is no chance of @juanmata10 or @DavidLuiz_4 leaving. They will be at Chelsea this coming season.

According to this link, PSG have offered €40m for David Luiz

That's some serious money if true. I want him to stay, but for that amount of money... I just don't know.

[mediator 2,026]

40M is huge money, but will we be able to find a great replacement for less money?

When we look at the buy out clause of some of them... 45 for Mangala (and they won't sold him for less) i don't think this would be a smart move right now, unless if David really want to leave.

If he want to join Silva and request a transfer, so we should agree that fee

If its true, i dont belive its relevant, they just about to sign Marqinhos. He probably was the 2nd option after Luiz.

[bluesman2610 1,417]

to me not for sale..true blue you don't just sell those.. the only way we sell luiz is if the player asks to leave.. at least thats how i feel about it

[zolayes 14,489]

READ MY LIPS ... NO FUCKING DEAL ....

Luiz stays ,,stays and stays ,,, future Chelsea captain and leader..

That's a great fee, BUT I guess a lot of Chels fans are pissed with them for scuppering our other transfers deals. I know I am at any rate

Mourinho insisted that nothing will make him even consider parting Mata or Luiz - and that they don’t need telling because they already know where they stand.

“I spoke with them during the summer, when I was on holiday and they were both at the Confederations Cup,” said Mourinho.

“But when they finished the Confederations Cup I just wished them luck and told them that I will see them on July 28th.

“I am not going to contact them based on news stories that are not true.

“And they know that the stories are not true because I have told them they are very important for me.

“How can I change that two days later because of a story? So there has been no contact with them.”

Luiz had already responded. Speaking in Brazil, he said: ‘”I do not like the rumours about me and the possible departure. I have a contract with Chelsea until June 2017 and do not want to talk to other clubs.”

Luiz is so important to us, he is truely priceless, I was totally wrong when I criticized him under Di Matteo.He is a very rare type of players that stimulate a group and he will never lack ambition, confidence, his personallity and joy to live are priceless.Many people understate the psychological aspect of football, I think some players have an "aura" and Luiz is one of those who drag the team to victory.He is still very young for a CB and he only need tactical discipline, I trust José for that.

Drogba was like that too.

Rally the troops when the chips where down.

Mata can be great, but that is one thing he lacks. Similar to Lampard, great player, but there was a reason Terry was always the leader. Cause he can rally the troops and motivate them to push on.

Of field Mourinho motivates, but in the field you need that general and for many years it was Terry then follow by Drogba.

Now David Luiz is the new emerging leader, and so far the only one out of all these new players.

Mourinho "For me, Luiz is a central defender,’ said Mourinho. ‘He can help the team playing in another position but he’s a central defender, no doubt about it."

Thank fuck! Hope all you guys who think Luiz is a midfielder will stop talking now.

He was an awful midfielder and a borderline liability at times. Benitez was clueless.
