Lol, have you guys forgotten Luiz's celebration against us a couple of years ago or....?

He doesn't love Chelsea. Anyway, I'm neither happy or sad if we have him back. But what a waste of a transfer window.

It was a last minute goal anyone would have celebrated and he even apologized after the game.

He isn't the greatest CB around but was the greatest CB around available? Was the next alternative miles better than David Luiz?

I'm sorry but we are literally hours away from deadline, this time yesterday we were apparently fire bullets into the sky and now this.

I'm pleased about this because no matter what age you are still learning, Conte will coach him and improve him. Lets get behind him.

This. People want K2 to come here, that didn't know his name before he was even linked to us. 

Taking a chance at Romagnoli and other young CBs was always going to be a gamble, and how confident would we be playing them in the starting 11 without Terry being there? Lack of Experience would get to them.

I am not concerned about his age, defenders usually play longer. And we needed someone with experience. He has it. And he has definitely improved since moving to PSG

Andreas Christensen to return next summer

This update from Sam Wallace:

Chelsea’s move for a centre-back on deadline day is being done with the long-term plan that Andreas Christensen, their 20-year-old Denmark international, will return on a permanent basis next summer.

The club currently have options including re-signing David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain, Aymen Abdennour from Valencia or a loan deal. Christensen, in his second year on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, will come back next year to join Chelsea's first team squad.  

 

I found this encouraging, from the telegraph a little while ago.

Can't wait to see him back. Conte will love his pasion.

David Luiz coming in via helicopter?

Can totally see him turning up, in a nice suit like someone out of Evolution from WWE.

Your opinion on Luiz coming back? 

Im feeling all sorts of emotions tbh. I understand Luiz will blow hot and cold, is error prone, and not the consistent 7/10 performer we need. But on the other hand, he's a huge personality, which this team lacks. Will still put in great performances at times, chip in with a few goals, can play as a CDM and free up Kante as a B2B destroyer, and is a ball playing CB. 

Must be said, a CB pairing of Zouma and Luiz would be a straight disaster in my opinion, as both have severe lapses in concentration, and rely on their pace to bail them out of trouble. But Luiz and JT/Cahill duo with Kante protecting them may get the job done, in regards to finishing top 4. 

Like I said, really don't know how to feel. Just happy the club signed a CB and LB. I know they both weren't the club's first choices, but we simply couldn't have survived the season with that current back 4, we couldn't. 

Oh I love it, man! I take the occasional brainfart considering everything else he brings. His distribution from the back, his ball-keeping ability as well as his dribbling ability are something none of our CBs possess, and not just them - as far as those attributes go he's in the 95 percentile among CBs in general. Plus, Kante and Matic in front of Luiz should be more than enough cover when he decides to bring the ball up. People may have forgotten but the last time Luiz was around we had Lampard, Ramires, and Mikel playing in midfield which is a couple of levels below our current options (defensively and offensively, mind you). As I said MY BODY IS READY. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Waste of a transfer window? Batshuayi and Kante have been two of the biggest impacts on the team this season. Just because we didn't get everyone we wanted doesn't mean it's a waste of a transfer window. It takes two clubs to make a deal.

I couldn't care less that Luiz celebrated. I don't care how much I cared about Chelsea, I'd be celebrating taking my club through to the next round of the Champions League.

I see a nice parallel between the people who are overjoyed with this, and a guy who used to go out with a dumb hot chick, dumb hot chick leaves him then considers him 2 years later and he's glad to take her back just because she actually acknowledges his existence again.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Actually if he can gain some consistency and discipline under Conte, Luiz can be one of the TOP ball playing CB. I also hated him when he celebrated that goal but well, if I can embrace the former "cunts" like Ashley Cole and Cesc, I will definitely be ok with this geezer. Lol

Good news if the signing of David Luiz does indeed materialize. He is experienced and know the club.

I am more sceptical regarding the signing of Marcos Alonso. He seems like another average player.
