David Luiz

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

" The magic comes when you least expect" not exactly something I've heard to describe any great centerback that just can't be sold at any price.

[The Rising Sun 709]

If we sell him, i will take it as we have sold our soul.

I will never forgive our board. and mourinho.

[mybodyisready 155]

30m would be daylight robbery, sell while we can.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

There's a reason clubs are willing to pay so much for him. Have you ever thought about that? He's on his way to being one of the best CB's in the world.

Paris St-Germain are preparing a bid for Chelsea's David Luiz. (Daily Mirror)

He won't go there.

Hello David, meet David...

We should sell him for 30m, but give them that other David guy

He's 26..When he's 35 people will keep saying give him time he'll become one of the best CB's. He's only popular because of his hair and his personality, but the most important aspect which is his football, is horrendous.

Luiz: "I confirm that I have already talked a lot with Thiago and Lucas about #PSG. They tell me it's an ideal destination. Great project."

we don't need that money,,Under Mourinho i believe he's our new Carvalho...

Luiz is a horrendous footballer? Lol.

Luiz is a superb footballer, and that is his problem - he tends to overthink things, and relies on his skill to get out of danger. It can work most times, but he will be remembered for the times he fucks up, rather than the times he flicks the ball over an attacker's head and dribbles past a couple more guys, like he did against Nordsjaelland when we won 6-1 at the Bridge in December.

He is an average centre-back. I say average, and by that, I mean average for a "big" club. He is no better or worse overall than the likes of Agger, Koscielny, Dawson, etc. He has some wonderful qualities but he is let down by his mental strength - his concentration is absolutely horrendous and his decision-making is questionable. I much prefer Cahill's style of kick-the-fucking-thing-away.

People like him in midfield because he can express his attacking qualities and you can excuse the odd defensive slip-up because there are defenders behind who can cover for him.

But the fact of the matter is we spent £25 million plus Matic, who is now supposedly worth £35 million, on a centre-back who can't defend very well, so we put him in midfield to disguise that fact. Of course he has had some absolutely immense games at the back for us, but the amount of times he's given balls away or played stupid passes and given the ball away is obscene. He's just lucky we have the likes of Cahill, Cole and Ivanovic alongside him, who are all exceptional on the recovery challenge, and Cech, who is probably the best goalkeeper in the world one-on-one - meaning he gets away with. My concern is he is going to do something horrendously stupid in a big game, and it is going to cost us silverware. Then, and only then, will people realise he is haphazard, and on the whole not good enough to be the first-choice defender at this club.

His style of play is brilliant against weak teams who will give him the time and space, but against a team like Manchester City which has a freakishly-high work-rate and every midfielder will harass you when you have the ball he will be exposed.

If the money is right, we should sell him. This team can score goals, but it can't keep them out anymore. The way you address that is to add some concrete to a relatively flimsy defence.

Luiz offers so much in an attacking sense, especially in his long passing, but I personally feel that if a big bid comes in from Barcelona, Monaco, PSG or any other European moneybags club, we should seriously consider a sale. We might lose some attacking potency, but if we sell him for some of the prices I've seen quoted, that money can go towards a proper defender. We have rebuilt the attack of this team to an incredible degree yet the same - ageing - names are on the team-sheet at the back. Time to invest in some uncompromising defensive talent, and Luiz has to make way for that to occur.

Strong bias. Lose the blue tinted glasses and you'll realise what a poor footballer he is.

[chelseathebest 150]

I believe Luiz is a bit overrated on here.

He is not a bad footballer, but he is also not a world-class.

I've noticed that there are a lot of Luiz fans out there, same as with Torres.

[Jase 43,479]

Looking at what Luiz has been saying regarding all this rumours/stories, it sounds as if he's trying to keep his options open. Has given diplomatic responses and not attempting to quash those rumours like Mata did recently.

[Melanicus 5,208]

No, don't take David, take anyone else, but not him.

Silva is so much better than Luiz at CB. If PSG want to get a good CB they shouldn't go to Luiz. There are other better CBs in the market right now.

For me Luiz isn't that good at the back but whatever.
