David Luiz

That was not the Mata money, Matic money was there already way before we sold Mata

So the Mata money is still with the club then. Whats the problem again?

£50 million for Luiz!!!!!!!!!!!!! PSG remind me of Chelsea when Abramovich first arrived and spent silly bucks on some big names. Much and all as I liked Luiz I felt he has had a very dissapointing season. I expected him really kick on from the previous year but I'm afraid I feel he didn't step up to the mark. And he was always prone to make a blunder. I never felt he was Mourinho's type of player either. He was too much of a loose cannon. We still have Matic and Ramires and hopefully Van Ginkle will be fit and fulfill his potential. I will miss him, but £50 million is a super piece of business.Take the money and run I say.

Sorry to break it to you but it's 50 million Euros!

So that in pounds is like 40 something million. Which is still really good.

I hope at the end of next season, Mourinho will be judged on some of the transfers his made becoz he has dismantled a team tht was there and built it to his liking, no excuse for failure now

Yes he will be expected to win either the CL or BPL next season, otherwise it is sacking time. It is very clear now, but I believe we will be able to do it under Jose. If not Klopp or Simeone will be the man to try next. Either way this club will keep moving forward with or without Mourinho or anyone(maybe apart from Roman), they day Hazard is sold isn't the end of the world either, providing we manage to sign a good replacement and get a ridiculous fee for him like we done with Luiz.

Basically our plan/football club structure is among the best in Europe atm. It is designed so that we are never over reliance on anyone, but as a club it can keep going continuously no matter who come in and out.

Fully expecting a top Striker (Costa), CM and left back now. None of this Guarin, Paulinho, Filipe Luis stop-gap bullshit. No more excuses, buy the top dogs in the positions we need. Transition time is over.

45M€, or 36.5M£

This is what should've happened in 2010 after we won the double & many people recognized this (a part reason which cost Ancelotti his job). Mourinho (and the board) deserve praise.

Yeah, the half-life of that squad expired after that season. We tried to bring in some players but our 2011 transfer window has to go down as one of the worst in recent times. 75 million pounds for Torres and Luiz + letting Matic go (though it's benefited us now) while clubs like City were signing Sergio Aguero and Liverpool signing Suarez.

Shows how important the transfer window is to determining a team's success.

Carlo, Roman and the board especially also deserved some blame for those blunders. And then Carlo paid with his job.

Filipe Luis is maybe 29 but he's by far the best LB we can get. Better than Shaw.

I heard it was 49.5M€, or 40.1M£ according to L'equipe. Anyway, it doesn't make much of difference.

No matter the number PSG are getting raped by Chelsea for the second time in just over a month. lol

We'll talk about this later when we'll sell you Lavezzi and take Hazard over

And I wouldn't call 3-3 a rape ...

Finally established #psg fee for David Luiz as £48m from #cfc. World record for a defender. Expect official announcement in next day or 2

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

€45m, €70m or €100m, it doesn't even matter anymore to be honest. Luiz is a good chap and a fantastic entertainer, but as a defender he is not worth more than €30m. Everything past that amount is a great piece of business. No wonder both Barcelona and Bayern offered players in exchange, instead of paying the full amount of money for him. They knew there are better defenders (that can actually defend) out there for the same amount of money.

Still, I would like to believe the €50m English media reports as they were the first to come up with this story. Also Fox Sports Brazil reporting the same amount. L'Equipe also...

Perhaps rape is a strong word but 3-1 up is a pretty shitty way to lose.

And LOL at Hazard to PSG dude... If PSG valued Luiz at 50m then Hazard is 4 times that and you can gladly have him for £200m hahaha. Keep lavezzi too.

[petr.breu 1,618]

I really don't want him to leave I know that the money for him are fantastic, but...

Why would Hazard want to go back to Ligue 1? he has bigger fish to fry.

Also the reason we sold Luiz to you was because he was essentially a squad player or a makeshift Midfielder (also the money was crazy as well). Hazard is our number one player, unless you offer something obscene like 80-100 million, no chance.

Telegraph are normally reliable, not as much as The Guardian but close.

BBC and The Guardian say £40 million, Sky and Telegraph say £50 million... take your pick.
