David Luiz

[BLionheart 516]

well , if we actually sign this guy with kalou going the other way , i will walk around in my neighborhood naked .

but i know if this is to be true , then ferrera will be the one to leave . not bad either ehh :eyebrows:

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

First, everyone is pissed we are going after mediocre players like Pienaar and Yossi, then they are pissed we are paying too much for Luiz. Seems like you want the best players in the world for bargain prices.

Imo, awesome deal!

Plus, I think this might help us get Neymar, as he'll be able to play with 2 of his regular Brazil teammates.

Rajkovic/Ferreira look the likeliest makeweights. It's good that we've made it clear we're not interested in permament moves for Bruma/PvA.

[magic weeds 446]

Rajkovic's work permit thing makes it a possibility to join Benfica. Any other youngster would be a loan deal.

lmao they wouldnt be able to use him in any c.l. games because he already played for us so a move now doesnt make sense for me, they can speculate new bs everyday but until slb tells me i dont believe alot this paper talk.....

Sounds about right from what I have heard also....a mate has just told me it will be Tuesday when he will be officialy unveiled as a Chelsea player

I know a couple of contacts in the football world and speak with them quite frequently and from what I have heard the fee is around €24M which is not far off the €25M you have.

Benfica are not interested in any player exchange.

The players reps have met Chelsea and the players terms have been agreed.

It is only the fee which is to be finally agreed between Benfica and Chelsea.

The latest is that the player will fly to London tomorrow for the medical.

If the deal does not happen in the next 24 hours then it will be that Benfica have not agreed to the terms of the transfer.

Watch this space....my pal will call me later tonight

Are you a Chelsea fan by any chance?

Which is exactly why we're "saving" €5 million.

[termninja 5,290]

Shame he is cup-tied...I hope we finally sign him.

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

It's hard to find a quality CB who isn't cup tied and it's great to get Sideshow Bob now so not only do we have more width in the defense but he can also get used to playing for chelsea for the new season and champions league.

[RX8 40]

I will be Happy if this guy come to us in the next 2 days...

It would be a Great Week for us if we win today and tomorrow David Luis is a Chelsea Player!!-

.....

[Mário César 975]

Portuguese newspapers are saying that Kakuta can be included in the deal. It makes no sense

[milllz 43]

it would only be a loan if kakuta or bruma are involved in the deal

[Cosmin 2,484]

At least we hope so.

Found this story :

Chelsea agree £25.5m deal for Benfica defender David Luiz

Chelsea have finally agreed a deal to sign David Luiz which values the much-coveted Benfica defender at €30 million (£25.5 million) — making him their most expensive transfer for five years.

read rest here...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

So we've caved in.

Boy I hope this doesn't backfire otherwise Roman will never fund another transfer above £15million again.

[Term-X 7,891]

£20m should have been the cutoff point for this guy.

Although, hopefully he turns out to be Carvalho part II.

[termninja 5,290]

30million? Whoa I hope this boy eats lightning and craps thunder!!

Found another story on skysports just published :

Ancelotti hopes for Luiz deal

Chelsea boss keen to add Benfica defender to his squad

read rest here (skysports)

Knowing how does Carlo answer to transfer questions this is a pretty good indication. I believe we will manage to sign Luiz. Nobody will pay Benfica 30 million for Luiz except us (or City maybe =.=) when we are a bit desperate for a good centre-back and Benfica has some financial problems.

And a sentence you should all see :

Confusion arose last week over Chelsea's interest in Steven Pienaar and Ancelotti says Luiz will be the only new arrival at Stamford Bridge in January if a deal can be agreed.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

30million? Whoa I hope this boy eats lightning and craps thunder!!

The scary thing is he sorta does. If this story is true then this is our best tranfer in years, this guy is special, a special talent, a player who has all of the potential to be ranked with the Carvalho's, the Lucio's, the Nesta's ect. This guy is a top class defender by any standard and would be a massive addition for the present and future success of the club.
