David Luiz

[ephreak 42]

There is a desire from both clubs & Luiz for the deal to happen, but is likely to be subject to approval of the next coach at #FCB. (Times)

I like him as a person, very much actually. But if its a bid of £30m then it would be stupid not to accept.

Beepu,

You need to look at Luiz as a footballer & not as a person. Chelsea plays football games.

The club has not hired Luiz for his charming personality. Lol.

Luiz 'agrees deal with Barcelona'

£32m is fair. Gives us plenty of ammunition to fully reshape the squad.

Yup - covers the Costa fee nicely

Mikel next and some others for a LB and CM and job done

I feel like Luiz is not the last high price transfer for this window...

1-2 more I think will leave.

Basically covers the Costa deal

As long as we replace them properly it doesn't really matter. For example Cavani swap with Oscar so we can go 4-4-2 is OK or someone like Reus to replace Oscar and move Hazard/Willian to the middle is OK too.

I love the guy but, for that price we have to sell.

Its good for both parties.

F*ck.I love this guy.He gives his best every match and have always played for the crest.I admire these kind of footballers as there aren't many nowadays.I will be gutted if this transfer happen.Hope he stays with us for more seasons,we need players like him in the team.

I think this is a big mistake ,, Is Jose going to build or dismantle???

The guy was in starting eleven and was dropped this season, but never complained. Followed Mou orders and stepped up when he got a chance.

He understands whats best for Chelsea and respects that. He will do his best and try hard. A player who is such professional shouldnt be allowed to leave.

His devotion to the team is amazing, too bad the club (if they accept money for him) doesnt give this trust back.

I think Luiz (and before Mata) were made for Chelsea as club. Maybe not for Mou, but sure for Chelsea. Those kind of players with great character will bring team together. It would be stupid to sell all players with character. In current team Hazard and Luiz look to be most honest, open minded players and we have to keep them.

We need to sell to buy Vidal or someone? Realy? Why dont we first sell the ones who reals should be sold like Torres, and then we have more than enough money to buy 2/3 top players, given the fact we sold Mata in january, some deadwood will generate 30-40mio (plus less week wages) and surely we have 50mio of clean money to spend every year. Thats more than enough to buy 2/3 top players without the 'need' to sell Luiz.

If we however do sell Luiz (and probably Mikel too), we will need to buy a backup DM and CB, selling Luiz makes no sense.
