David Luiz

[zolayes 14,489]

I understand the fans who are really depressed over this, i love Luiz too and he will be missed, but it wasnt surprising at all... didnt you expect this to happen since Cahill-Terry really established as the best CB pair? I mean it was obvious he wont be a starter next season (he wasnt a regular starter this season), and when PSG, Barcelona and Bayern were all after him the result was very obvious for me.

I never wanted Luiz sold but at this price can't imagine fans feeling depressed

We can see every EPL team on television, not just Chelsea in the United States... One could argue, we can watch the EPL better than people living in England (minus actually going there).

USA loves its sports!

Missed my point obviously..

[zolayes 14,489]

Terry has been at Chelsea football club since he was a teenager cleaning boots ffs, Lampard has been here for 13 years. Why are you comparing how we feel about THEM with David-fucking-Luiz?

he is David Luiz ,,, You are Terminator FUCKING X and you still don;'t donate

[The_Flash 1,144]

I understand you liked him as did others,but making him out to love the club more than others and whom we may buy in the future.is ignoring the fact that a) not everyone who cares deeply about the club has to be so visibly emotional (i myself have been to 90% of Chelsea games over the last 33 years,but have never cried at a game,even after relegation and 94 cup final, 2008 in Moscow etc..) and b if any other team had bid more for him than us to Benfica,he wouldn't have joined us. He loves playing football and all footballers love playing for big clubs,winning big trophies..i thank him for the good memories,nothing more.

I thought he loved us but clearly not begging to stay. #Gutted

I think you missed my point I am saying they are legends and opinions of them have had the same as expressed as Luiz from hero to zero more recently but they have been staples to Chelsea spine for years and as such were given the opportunity by Mourinho to restore their reputations as top notch footballers.. Luiz was not afforded the same which is sad cause last season as many others have agreed was the best central defender we had

Missed my point obviously..

No, I understand completely..

However, more fans = more money (to a degree)...Also, the useless preseason tours equals more money for Chelsea FC and gives them exposure to fans across the united states= more money..

Selling Luiz to reinvest, I completely understand with.

love needs to be reciprocated ... tho possibly Jose thinks it is a one way street

[The Mak 4,459]

Imagine, just imagine, if we suddenly spend a huge chunk of this money on Paulinho.....

Stop that...where is the ban button on this thing?

[José1893 89]

So happy about Luiz' departure for the sum. Mata, de Bruyne and Luiz sold for a huge amount of money, well done José!

Just feck those annoying foreign/ african facebook fans who cry about every news from Chelsea and want Mourinho out and Benitez in (wtf!?) or Mata back

I tend to feel gutted when managers leave..John Neal,Ruud Gullit and Jose being the 3 that stick out..with players it's been alongtime..Pat Nevin in '88 being the last really. Is more expected part of the game for me i guess that players come and go..obviously miss the likes of Carvalho,Ballack,Zola,Makalele etc..but don't get gutted over them leaving..i'm gutted Torres ever joined..

[sdrcfc 461]

Just woke up to see the transfer has been agreed, more than happy to see the price nearer to 50 than 40 though.

That is exactly why i brought up those pre-season tours..just another way of making money to then spend on improving team..just like selling Luiz is. It's what every club has to do to gain and maintain success..especially with FFP. We are a few steps ahead of the likes of Man city and PSG because of us getting wiser to how to strengthen and still abide to FFP rules.

sad player leaving was Ray Wilkins ,, to pay for the stand ,, then Zola cos he was the GREATEST and still had a few years left ,, Was sad with Johns health problems

sad Bates sacked Ruud ,,, really sad the way Ranieri and Wilkins were treated ,, Really sad we got rid of Carlo .

I would not be sad if Roman left .

[blu35_army 551]

if luiz that never suit the Mou's style which is has a better passing than ramires and mikel, i would like one of them get sold too...

mikel still gonna be useful, so i prefer ramires get hyped price after WC than we add more money to fill world class CM...

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Class players are more important than money. So we have to make sure that we sign some gems with class and personality and not waste it on average fair-weather players like paulinho. We got more than enough money to get whoever we want and still comply with FFP. I respect fans who say, their loyalty belongs to the club, but I also identify with players, characters who have carried the club and whose loyalty can't be replaced by money, I'd rather be in debts and excluded from the CL but with some legends you can look up to than being a filthy rich club without soul which wanks about its transfer revenues but can't get a decent team together with players which don't have character to earn the success.
