David Luiz

[BOSS 372]

If he plays as a CB this coming season then his talents would be wasted. He is a great great DM. He has the potential to become one of the best DM atm if not the best. He can shoot,he can pass,he is strong on the ball,obviously he can defend because he is naturally a good CB and he can win aerial duels. I don't see why he shouldn't be our new defensive midfielder.

He would be awesome alongside Ramires next season.... IF Lampard leaves.

Up in the arsee, up in th arseeee, stick yo 40 milll , up in the arseeee. Sorry forthe bad language, but David has improved. Never wanted him to be sold. The lassion he shows means he wants to be remembered here.

Chelsea face fight to keep Luiz as Barca prepare staggering £40m offer

What a predictable story!

Messi plus 40m and we can start talking..

[Thomas Williams 166]

In terms of talent alone, I might be tempted to take 40 mil for a defender with as short a period of consitency as Luiz has had (he's getting there). But his intangibles and the fact that i just plain love him mean it would take way more than he's worth to pry him from my grasp, haha

No way, Luiz is a deep part of Chelsea right now, he can't be sold. We won't allow it.

You can when that same player has been managed by three different managers previously at Chelsea and did not show any signs of improvement back then. I hate Benitez as much as the next Chelsea fan, but there is no point to go out of our way to discredit what he's managed to do here.

He was an absolute beast under Ancelotti when we first signed him, first 2 months he was a class act, a lot better than he was now tbh.

The league had never seen a CB like him so he was very effective offensively. but in those two months he also gave two silly penalties and could have costs us some valuable points with some needless challenges including the one on Rooney where he should have seen red. I reckon, for a manager on the touchline, he must have been the most frustrating player in the world.

He's clearly a player reaching his prime, giving Benitez all the credit is just retarded.

And I'll tell you why as David Luiz was like this under Di Matteo despite his injuries when he played the odd games he was very good, he's been good for a while now.

He is our non-sense secret weapon!

Under Di Matteo? He was injured for the most part of last season under Di Matteo and he was terrible this season until Di Matteo got sacked. His start of the season was just terrible, he kept making mistake after another; he only started to pick up form around Christmas.

Why is it so hard to give credit where it's due and say Luiz has immensely improved under Benitez?

Everything I just said earlier you just repeated?

It's not that at all, you are just saying that no one gives him respect, Luiz is a defender entering his prime. And when you're going on aout Luiz like that makes me laugh about how good you said Mikel has been, what's even the point, this is my last reply.

What? I honestly did not understand anything from this post. And what in the world does Mikel has to do with anything here? You're obsessed..

I would literally cry if Luiz end up in Barcelona.

[Melanicus 5,208]

Some say he's a defender, some say he's a midfielder, some say he's a striker. I can only assure you, that he's not a goalkeeper, for now.

David 'Wonder-goal' Luiz

Loved him ever since he joined our club. Would never sell him

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Question, would anyone still take the rumoured £30m Barcelona would offer for him?

If you would have asked me this back in december then i would have said FUCK YES!!But fair play to luiz he has been sensational in the 2nd half of the season.

How is his talent "wasted" at CB? Why do people still think it's illegal for a CB to have great technique, strong on the ball & a great pass etc? I think it's more of a waste to the team if we don't play him at CB. That's what makes Luiz a weapon - he's still an offensive threat no matter where he plays on the pitch - we play him at CB, and we have a spot open in midfield for another midfielder who can again be an extra offensive threat; thus making our team a lot more unpredictable with more offensive weapons. If we get a system going which allows Luiz to roam forward then teams have more to worry about - traditionally, teams do not worry about CBs being an offensive threat in open play, but that's something we have in Luiz, so why waste that? We'd be better off if we got in another midfielder so the XI in general has more offensive weapons, which will open more spaces, make us more unpredictable etc.

Luiz could easily reinvent the modern CB role. It has actually sort of been done before - look up the libero. PEOPLE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Under Di Matteo? He was injured for the most part of last season under Di Matteo and he was terrible this season until Di Matteo got sacked. His start of the season was just terrible, he kept making mistake after another; he only started to pick up form around Christmas.

That isn't true at all, Luiz was very solid at the start of the season when him and JT were our starting CBs which saw us go to the top of the league.

Luiz's has had a good, solid season overall, it's just in the last few months where he's really picked it up and shown everyone what he can be. He's been our most solid defender from day one this season.
