People are crazy. Dude hasn't played in a month, pulls up an average performance and there's again talk that we should sell him...

At least give him a couple of games to get into his rhythm.

I ususally avoid this thread as it's depressing to read some of the things written about our very own sideshow bob. It seems a lot of people want him to be this robotic perfect defender who makes the

David Luiz is very good, when he is ordered to just defend. I remember, in Lisbon, 2012... he is excellent. In Munich, also, he is very good... when he is keeping simple, he is very good, I think...

But 30 million, for the defender... this is not resistable.. no defender is worth so much money.

The thing is how can people still defend him AFTER 3 YEARS. Seriously, he still hasn't fixed his flaws yet. His main problem when he came here was that he often had a rush of blood and was just terrible at defending, after 3 YEARS it is still the same, hardly any improvement at all. People can say look at the goals he scored but again he already had that and done that for us when he arrived here, and his job isn't to score goals anyway.

Do you think he has show enough IMPROVEMENT AFTER 3 YEARS to warrant such praise?

To all those who are bashing Luiz. Criticising him may get you the reps but certainly does not help you as a Chelsea FC supporter.Also,please don't reply with- this is not Luiz FC blah blah,getting really old.

Luiz is a solid defender and any team would be happy to have him.Had he been at Porto we all would be drooling over the prospect of signing him and urging the club to spend 30m+ on him. Just be happy guys and more importantly patient.

I can't imagine many fans would want us to sign a 26 year old for £30 million who still plays with the same faults he had at 23.

That's the bottom line - his staunchest supporters aren't supporting David Luiz. They're supporting who David Luiz COULD be and it's been the same argument ever since he got here. That's why I threw in Zouma's name. I know that he's young and that you're buying potential when you sign him, but that's still very much the case with Luiz.

When John Terry was 26, we weren't still talking about what he could be because he was already at the top of his game. David Luiz is roughly the same age as Vincent Kompany - when you think about the maturity in both of their games then you have to wonder if Luiz will ever actually make that step-up everyone wants him to.

If he didn't scored a few great free kicks and 1-2 30 yards screamer last season I really doubt anyone would have still support him now.

Honestly,I don't think signing another defender and selling Luiz in the process will solve anything.I say we still remain patient and look at the midfield for some defensive solutions.The addition of class dm may help Luiz play better.

We still need to keep Luiz until the end of season, why?

Don't forget Luiz can play DMC, which is our weakest link. (Ramirez needs rest, Lampard is too old, Mikel is bad for count-attack, Essien is burnt out.)

Also, Ivanovic plays more for RB, if Luiz leaves in Jan 2014 and no replacement, it means we have no substitute for CB (I don't think Mourinho will use Kalas to play CB.)

It is expected that Chelsea will buy Shaw for LB (B34 will be sold to Everton), then AZP will go back to RB and competes with Ivanovic. Ivanovic can play the 3rd choice of CB (Luiz as the 4th choice)

However, if Luiz is sold in Jan 2014, we must have three positions to buy (DMC, CB, LB)
