I still think he is something realy special. And he will show it at world cup. I just hope we dont sell him, he has that passion that almost no one else has in current team. I feel if we get our LB, CM and striker done, if we stop concentrating on defense THAT much, Luiz could work in pair next to Cahill or sth.

Hope he finds consistancy, matures after world cup and seals his place in our starting 11. It will be sad to see him play in Barca/Bayern where he would prove us wrong. He is top defender IMO.

I still cant believe people 'want' him gone. I would understand if actual official bid for like 30/35mio would come, but not because of some BS reports. He is top person, funny, gets along with team, never complains, works hard, always performs in big games and most importantly loves the club. Something you rarely see nowdays.

I totally agree with you. Everytime I see him play for Brazil, he seems to be a world beater. He has the talent to be one of the best CB's around, but he loses concentration a bit too often. Also, I love the passion he plays with. A rare thing to see in players nowadays.

There should be no talk of getting rid of him at all IMO. Get rid of the dead wood lying around at Cobham.

Mourinho almost destroyed Luiz career, but somehow he will be sold for 30m, an impressive amount of money for a player that is considered a liability is third choice for CB, behind the not so almighty Gary Cahill.

But for a manager that sold Mata, and "might sell Hazard and Oscar", thats not a big deal at all.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

It's not a big deal for me either.

if someone comes in with an offer I'll pack his thing in 10 minutes, dress him as a Tokyo Fashion Week model and sell him to the highest bidder. And send a letter of gratitude, too.

40mil and we ll talk.

luiz fits the barca/bayern (or rather pep's) philosophy of a ball playing defender perfectly. he would be a good fit for teams who dont care how many goals they let in as far as they can outscore the other team. we dont have that. we have struggle coming from a goal down at the bridge.

and with both barca and bayern interested (if true), we should be able to rip them off specially barca since they anyways love to overpay for brazilians...

[didierforever 7,349]

but i love this.. mourinho almost DESTROYES luiz's career by playing him for excess of 2600 minutes in the season.

some people are cunts,,, absolute stupid cunts.

Cahill has passion. Terry has passion. Lampard has passion. Azpi has passion. Ivanovic has a ton of passion. Ramires has misdirected passion. Hazard seems to genuinely enjoy being a footballer. Costa (if we get him) certainly has passion and fire.

I think you're confusing passion with taking selfies and giving thumbs up whilst sticking your tongue out. That's Miley Cyrus passion.

Hope he finds consistancy, matures after world cup and seals his place in our starting 11. It will be sad to see him play in Barca/Bayern where he would prove us wrong. He is top defender IMO.

There's always a hope that David Luiz can mature as a player.... I mean he is only 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 .

Newcastle was a big game and he didn't perform in that. So was West Brom. In fact people need to get over this notion of their being 'big games' - every game where a person pays to see you put on the shirt with the money they've worked hard for is a big game.

There were also plenty of mutterings about players being pissed off with his attitude as well. Yes take joy in the football but do the hard bits as well.

No-one will disagree that he has EVERY physical attribute needed to be a top-class defender. But it's the mental side that is highly questionable. For me he is fourth-choice centre-back behind Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic and I'm even tempted to put Kalas above him too. As a midfielder, maybe he has a future here.

[Special Juan 27,439]

There is too much 'Jury is out' on Luiz.

He will be very lucky if he is here next season.

And you need to get over the fact that players can have a few bad games. I mean, before we tactically shored it up to a more defensive game, even Terry and Cahill struggled - they were after all our starting CBs in the Sunderland and Stoke games which we lost.

He hasn't benefitted from being in a system that protects it CBs well like Cahill and Terry have.

[Namika 922]

I think it's his last game at Stamford Bridge, will miss the guy for sure.

Despite all the money we might gain from sales of Mata, Luiz, Hazard etc if they will be sold, and they would be replaced with players that suit Mou more, I think its just short term solution. Roman will at some point say "I want more attractive football" and we will be in the begining.

Luiz, Mata,...have personality. That means a lot if you trust them and give them time; raise them in proper system. They will deliver twice more. Players like Willian follow his manager and when something extraordinary is required to be done by themselves, they freeze. You need hard workers and open minded players in team working together. How to connect them is manager"s job. Mou couldnt do it in Real, I hope he will do it in chelsea.

I tell you if Mou will cut all players who try to attack bit more and replace them with defensive oriented ones; we might see Mou team in best, but that team might win you titles, it wont win fans hearts, speaking generaly. I loved 2012 campaign, it was magical and we defended, fought for evers ball, but that was limited team, we have several offensive players now (and we will get some more).

I love football because it gives you all those goal actions, attractive play etc. I can accept we park bus in most important games of year for the sake of winning title, but general play has to be "nice", attractive and something that makes fans woaahh after fancy moves; collective actions etc. We are Chelsea ffs, not some bottom team with no attacking sense.

It has nothing if I will support Chelsea or not, I will support Chelsea even if we play 10 CBs, but from a team who spends all that money, has all those world class players, I think ambition is to play nice, watchable football.

TOP post ... I will just feel so FUCKING MAD

[bushman 2,043]

According to some Spanish paper Luiz has reached an agreement with Barca for around 4.5m a year until 2019. The garage sale is on.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Apparently Barca have agreed 25m deal for him. A bit cheap for my liking, need to be at least 30m+ 5m add on imo. Oh well I guess he is leaving, who are we gonna sign to replace him? I hope not Paulinho, he is not that good either. Try to get Juve to sell Vidal for 50m or Pogba for the same would be good imo, maybe Khedira for 15-20m.
