   David Luiz in presser: "Barcelona sent Alves and Neymar to convince me to join them, but I was clear to them. I wanted Chelsea."

that's our future captain showing his true colors - and they're blue!

It's impossible for me to love this man more than I do.

Thanks for that, Ankit.

CHELSEA defender David Luiz claims he rejected the chance to join Barcelona during the just-closed transfer window.

Barcelona made an offer for Brazil international Luiz earlier this summer as they looked to bring a new central defender to Camp Nou.

However, Chelsea rejected Barcelona's bid, feeling the offer came nowhere near their valuation of the 26-year-old.

Luiz claims he snubbed Barcelona's overtures as he is happy to stay at Stamford Bridge.

"There was an official offer, but I decided to stay at Chelsea," Luiz said.

"Barcelona sent Alves and Neymar to convince me to join them, but I was clear to them. I wanted Chelsea.

"I am happy to play for a big club and be in the national team to represent my country."

Willian on David Luiz:

"The Brazilians called me, especially David Luiz, who told me to come quickly. I was very happy to have them around and they will certainly help me a lot.

AWFUL. PATHETIC. HOPELESS. DISGRACEFUL PERFORMANCE.

[robsblubot 3,498]

Was not involved in Everton's goal, but that'd be my criticism: don't think his moving up helped. Not sure it was wrong, since Everton were involving our midfielders at the time, so he moved up to try to intercept the play which is what he's good at.

Disagree with above. He's had a decent game along with his virtues of intercepting the ball - he did that many times. His deficiencies are mostly in the air and when he has to position, but thankfully David's deficiencies are precisely the virtues of our other defenders; they are all great in the air.

One could be disappointed wit Iva and Tery since they are so good in the air, but that was good save by Jelavic.

Disgraceful is way too harsh but he was awful and in that exasperating way that Luiz manages to be, He is such a great interceptor of the ball as a central, I don't see why he thinks he needs to lead the offense as well which is a role that is completely destructive to the team. There were maybe 10 times where he is not just out of position, but insanely out of position. Like the "where the hell are you going?" out of position. Sorry David, you're not a winger or an attacker and when you're caught on the wing or deep in opposition as a central defender, it puts the whole team out of position and makes us extremely vulnurable. It's frustrating because he is a fantastic CB when he stays at home and a great benefit to the team, but when he plays like this, he's an extremely negative player.

nope. watch the goal. luiz goes out of position, tries to intercept the ball. JT tries to lessen the space left by luiz. also iva was properly marking jelavic until luiz went out of position, but as soon as luiz moved ahead iva, moved towards JT to mark the now unmarked naismith.

so jelavic became free at the far post. but most concerning point was tthat luiz made no effort on coming back to his position or covering his team-mates.

and this was not the only incident in the match. even early on in the match luiz made a stupid run forward (in the first 20 minutes or so). showed no defensive discipline whatso ever thruout the match. could have been sent off easily. was sulking when cech decided to ping the ball ahead rather than pass to him and the way he held himself today was pathetic.

[G.B. 100]

Once he plays as a world class, being the leader of the whole defence (f.e. against Bayern), once he behaves like a headless chicken... He is unable to be consistent.
