David Luiz

[Gilvorak 3,734]

There are tons of good posters on this forum but there are a few clueless/spoilt ones that clearly only started watching football recently. Constantly talk down our own players and lick the arses of ones elsewhere.

If it's 40 mio. pounds, I don't care - sell him for that kind of money.

We could get 2 top CBs for 40 mio.

Please name these supposed 2 top CBs that are available for a combined £40m?

How the hell is Hummels better than Luiz? Do you even watch him play? Luiz is definitely the better CB and would walk into almost any team in the world.

People make me laugh. This isn't football manager.

If Luiz played for another club, we'd have a 300 page thread about him in the Transfer Talk section with the half the posts begging Roman to pay his 40m release clause or something.

The problem with selling Luiz, is that, already, he's our only CB who's good enough to be a starter for a team with Chelsea's aspirations. Now, we can do with Iva and Terry when fit partnering Luiz for this season, but we definitely need a to buy a top CB in the future. Selling Luiz would first be suicidal for our title hopes this season as there are no available replacements atm in the market, and it would also mean that we'd have to buy two top CBs within the next year.

Gilvorak - you don't know when I started watching football and it's a little bit childish to write what you do just because some ppl have another opinion than you. Why are you even on a football forum if you turn emo everytime someone has something to say that doesn't fit with what you think? Grow up man.

Everyone´s entitled to an opinion whether other posters agree or not. To say, those with other view are Chelsea´s recent followers is clueless in my opinion.

Tedious debate again I see about I've supported us longer than you.....boring.

Put the Lego away.

of all our defenders he is the VERY last I would sell ...little wonder the top clubs want him

[zolayes 14,489]

He had more than enough chances to prove his worth. We see just the games, the management also see the training session. No one at all could've predicted how good he'd turn out. Anyone that says they did is liar.

check back ..a number of members myself included rated Matic very highly

I strongly doubt that Bayern really offer 47m € for David Luiz. It would be a German record transfer fee. Even though an amazing player, he is not worth so much money. But as stated above he is one of the world's best centrebacks and so important to us cos he is the most all-round skilled defender we got. also it is not we got too many classy centrebacks while there are no equivalent replacements on the market. Anyway, if Bayern come up with stupid money - i doubt they will even come up with reasonable money - I honestly would consider to accept. For 50m or so we could buy an army of good centrebacks and some of them would probably turn out great.

Well in any case, Pep Guardiola has come out and ruled out any move for Luiz...here's hoping (unlikely) that the media will do the same..

[Tomo 21,751]

Hummels? He's completely over-rated, if we payed big money on a Dortmund defender i would want it to be Subotic.

There is a reason clubs are prepared to play in excess of £40m for Luiz, because he is one of the best defenders in the world.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Definitely Subotic over Hummels.

I would love to see Subotic be his partner rather than sell him.

hummels had a poor season but before he was pretty outstanding
