David Luiz

[gr123 167]

I really like Luiz, but I think a bid of £40m+ should be considered. £20-£25m though is a piss take.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

If they were to offer £40, 000, 000 then yes

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Very good response guys, none of those ''OMG NOO NONOONONONONO DONT SELL HIM'' AND ''HE IS NOT FOR SALE BECAUSE HE IS OUR BEST PLAYER!!!!'' types.

[Ramox 246]

If they were to offer £40, 000, 000 then yes

I fully agree... Hard to find players in our squad who are NOT hard to replace, but he is one of those. If he want to go, let him for the right price. Someone would be more than happy to play for us... if he isn't, then au revoir!

[Mouri_Matic 560]

If he does go, these are the candidates to replace him imo that we could get:

1. Diego Godin

2. Fazio

3. Mangala

4. Sakho

5. Chedjou

6. That Greek CB from Schalker who I cba to search his name

7. Howedes

8. Rami

All are good CB, all quite young apart from Chedjou and none should cost more than £15-£20m max. Well maybe apart from Mangala who we would need to pay his release clause of £30m seeing it is Porto.

[bushman 2,043]

To let go is not as easy as it seems. We should wait for Jose to make his decision, soon.

If Luiz insists to go, then Chelsea should get as much as possible, but I still would replace him with another good quality player.

From the above list Mangala is the one.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

And if we'll sell him, even for 40m, who could we get? Mangala's clause is 50m euros, you want that? no.

Luiz cant be sold for any price and he wont. we're in August, its not the time to look for your first CB, especially when there isnt anyone available.

Mou has a PC today? hope him or Luiz we'll put this one to bad early..

You don't have to go for high profile players, these are plenty of players who are cheap and just as good. Look at Vertonghen, he is arguably as good as Luiz going forward and defend better too, save the flashy moments. He costs £10m and now he is probably worth at least £30m. Look at my list above to see.

[The Rising Sun 709]

We CAN NOT under any circumstances sell him.

He is in the league of players that have an ability to become legends and leaders for the team they play in.

He is all heart and has improved leaps and bounds and is consistently getting better and better.

I just went over the Barca team and there is honestly no one from their team apart from Messi or Neymar that would add to our squad. Xavi and iniesta are getting old so they arent counted.

I dont think we will sell, but if we do, it will be a sad sad day in the history of this Football club.

[Manuf 1,448]

didn't we pay 24m for him? what a laughable offer, especially in August. there aren't many great CBs available on the market, so it would be hard to replace him. besides Terry-Luiz reminds me so much of his time with Riccy.

[The Rising Sun 709]

Selling Luiz would be Like city selling Kompany and united selling Vidic, it will be a huge blow for us.

I'll quote The Rising Sun

"He is in the league of players that have an ability to become legends and leaders for the team they play in."

Non of the players you wrote have his talent, and non of them will give us this extra somthing Luiz gives us when he's on the pitch.

Plus, you just dont replace the first CB in your squad a mintue before the start of the season. Defenders got to know each other and the game we are playing.

Pique is not as good as Cahill, Terry atm? WOW 28 years old Iniesta is old, shocking. Fabregas is just as good if not better than Mata, Sanchez is better than any of our wingers/attacking players bar Mata and Hazard. I think you are over dramatizing with the ending sentence.

And Vidic was £7M and Kompany was £6M and Nastasic was what £10-12M? You don't always have to spend massively to get quality. I wouldn't sell Luiz easily though, It's late in pre-season and he's our best central defender. That said, an offer that would make him the highest paid defender in history would be impossible IMO, to turn down. That said, I don't see it happening.

[edetarod 2,155]

it all depends wether Luiz wants to leave or not, which i think he does

this "injury" thing is making me believe so

i'll miss his screamers if he goes

Its all about opinion isnt it.... I dont rate pique as a great footballer and Terry offers more in terms of leadership, not only in the team but in an overall sense for the club.

Iniesta, well i didnt do my research and thought he is 32 or something. But we have a great talent pool already and i want them too become the next iniestas of this world.

Fabregas IMO is definitely not as good as Mata.

Sanchez is good but then again, we dont need him.

Just like we dont need to sell David Luiz.

I have emotional connections for players like Luiz who play their hearts out, and his sale will be damaging towards my emotional connect with Chelsea.

[Cech's helmet 220]

We won't miss Luiz one bit if he leaves on the pitch. we have the best defence in the world. Cahill and JT are solid as fack. I like Luiz but if he WANTS to leave then he can. if he DOESN'T and the CLUB decides to get rid of him, then we have a problem.

Personally, I wouldn't sell Luiz for 40m pounds. who the heck are you going to buy? we don't need money and Luiz is one of the best defenders in the world. unless it's crazy money ( 60m + ) then I think that would be too good of an offer to reject.
