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

I hope we accept if it's 45m for him. There's a shortage of great strikers and fullbacks but there's always good CB 's who can defend better than him and enough DM's that we could upgrade at both positions with that money.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

We need a new CB so we sell our best one. Makes sense

[iceboy 992]

I'm 100% sure Mourinho is watching Brazil vs Japan.

It's extremely debatable between him being our best CB ,our worst defender or not even a defender at all but a DM ...like most who have said they would accept the bid including myself the fee of 45m would have a lot to do with it.

I don't want to sell him at all costs! How can you seriously consider selling him right away when he's that glowing light that keeps getting brighter?? I admit that he has made some mistakes but the guy is getting better and better, even if it isn't ostentatious at first sight.

I love David and I'm always behind him because I know for sure that the magic in him comes both when you least expect it and when you see him rolling.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,451]

" 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 696]

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.

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.

@BrazilStats

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.

When I hear things like that...I don't know...I kind of just lose faith in humanity a little...

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.
