TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 From what ive seen of David Luiz, he certainly seems to be as very good player, lets hope he can make it in the Premier League if/when we confirm this signing.Looks promising at the moment, that's for sure.

RX8 40 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 With Chelsea I can Only start having some faith, when the player take the pen to sing the contract in London.... That´s it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoopz 183 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Telegraph reports that we are including a youngster that still hasnt made a first team appearance. That means it's not Van Aanholt, Bruma, Matic, Borini, Sturridge or Kakuta. Raj maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 SkySports:"It is reported that Benfica will take one of Slobodan Rajkovic, Nemanja Matic, Patrick van Aanholt or Fabio Borini."Interesting seeing Borini's name mentioned. Possibility of it being him? €5M sounds about right for him.http://www.skysports...6699911,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Chelsea are still searching for a "solution" in their bid to sign Benfica defender David Luiz, according to the Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti.Chelsea are thought to have had a £17m bid for the Brazilian international, 23, rejected at the end of December.Speaking after Chelsea beat Bolton 4-0 on Monday, Ancelotti said nothing had been agreed between the two clubs."He is the only signing we are trying to make but if it's not possible, nothing changes," stated the Italian."He's a very good young player but we have not agreed anything."A centre-half who can also play at right or left-back, Luiz is valued by Portuguese side Benfica at £25.5m.Were he to join Chelsea, he would link up with fellow Brazilians, defender Alex and midfielder Ramires.----------------Source:- BBC Sport----------------for fucks sake, sign the player already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Once you have Carlo talking about a player that way, you know it's gonna happen today. Expect Rajkovic to go the other way along with a ton of cash. Just as well I reckon - his WP problems are frustrating, and he never would have got a chance here.

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Apparently the favourite to go to Benfica as part of the deal is Matic. 4 and a half year deal for Luiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuf 1,448 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Oh FFS not Matić... He is a friggin beast in the midfield, we'll need him next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Apparently the favourite to go to Benfica as part of the deal is Matic. 4 and a half year deal for Luiz.Thought someone with no first team appearances is going the other way. Matic has made his debut. Could be just a rumour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Got my mate at the training ground keeping me updated, no news from there yet. As soon as I hear anything I'll let you guys know. If we are to complete the signing by tomorrow he will be having his medical today.

We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 How high up is your mate?Just a groundsman, but he finds out a lot of info.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It should be Rajkovic that goes to Benfica. At least there are problems with his work permit to play in England. It would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I am hoping that it would be Rajkovic also.Borini, hopefully we can sort out his contract and get to to a deal because he is too much of a prospect to let go, Bruma is another brilliant player and has already started one PL game, Van Annholt has got to be the future replacement of Ashley, Matic could do wonders for us if we are faced with another lack of form like we had this season with no one to replace Lampsy role, Sturridge could be a possibilty do to frustration maybe but only as loan a player that should be getting more time imo, Kakuta is another player that needs to find his feet in the first team squad and he will be able to settle in.It has to be Rajkovic if someone is leaving us. All the rest are going to be a loss, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thought someone with no first team appearances is going the other way. Matic has made his debut. Could be just a rumour though.Just relaying what i've been reading. Hopefully we will find out by the end of the day though. He's reportedly flying in for his medical today.What's odd though is the vaulation of €5M (€25M cash + €5M player) on the player going to Benfica - Are Matic/Rajkovic worth £4.2M?

TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 IMO i reckon it's just the work permit that's holding this deal up.If i had to pick a youngster to go the other way i'd pick Rajkovic by far, good player, but i just dont think he'll make it with us, and his work permit situation is a pain in the ass aswell.Rajkovic to Benfica, David Luiz to Chelsea?Would be a good deal.If we can pull that off, happy days.Let's hope i'm right about thisd just being a work permit issue now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
