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

Carlos Puyol just announce hes going to leave barcelona...

Great opportunity to sell high for Luiz...

Or not.

People dont realize what a great player and asset Luiz is. Great as both CB and DM. Just remember Mikel and Lampard wont be with us for much longer. Neither might JT (though he's looking great atm) and theres always the risk of injuries to any player.

He isn't a great centre half. Think he's a good DM yes, but as a centre half he is a liability.

Exactly. How many times has Luiz helped us keep the pressure on our opponents when we've desperately needed to come back in a game (IIRC game against EVE this season, Game at OT last season in Cup)

Here's a wonderful analysis by Neville on him: (I think this is the video since they removed the one I saw, try the suggested videos if nec)

There will be world cup and Luiz might just prove how good/bad CB he is. I hope we dont sell him before WC if Mourinho decides to sell him. His price could go even higher after good tournament and might be his chance to prove himself to Mou.

He's versatile, but as a CB he's simply not been that great this season. Dropped twice, lacklustre displays and the emergence of Cahill and Terry as the best partnership in the league mean that a pricey back-up who you can't rely on simply might not be worth turning down the possible offers.

Luiz as a DM. We don't need to buy a 30-40mil CM. We have a perfectly decent one in our squad.

Don't expect lamps to get an extension and defonitely think that mikel will be sold. Hence matic, rambo, luiz and mvg as our pivot options is quite good.

A liability? LMAO. I cant even believe I see a word like that. You're talking as if playing Luiz as CB means some kind of danger because of a few "incidents" he may have caused and because he's a different type of defender than what you might be used to.

I believe people look at him and when he does something, think "oh that COULD have gone bad IF it didnt go this well this time".

Dropped twice? Well, so has Oscar. So has more players been. Plus, we sometimes needed him as DM and Cahill really stepped up and he's been solid since.

Because Cahill+JT works really well atm, that doesnt make Luiz worse. Calling Luiz a back-up is just plain stuipid pardon me. "Cant rely on". Wow...Im speechless.

You can't deny the fact that we don't look as good and solid at defending when he's playing CB.. with all my love to him.

He's a descent DM but not good enough IMO (maybe if Matic is injured).

Has great potential for a CB but its not going for him here ATM and we can't not consider any selling options.
