David Luiz

[DanishBlue 426]

Zola - Matic was shit at the time so you can't do it that way. Benfica are just lucky that he turned out good for them. We would still earn money if you take his price plus the market value of Matic from back then.

And 40 mio. is more than Luiz is worth Imo. That's why it's a really good offer.

Chelsea could still invest 20m, 25m or 30m based on economics & FFP.

Since Chelsea is not a selling club, I doubt Luiz is going anywhere.

[DanishBlue 426]

With the money we have available now (Mou said around 30) and with 40 from Luiz we could get Rooney, Hummels and another CB or even DDR.

Fair enough if ppl don't want it but no way it's stupid. No way.

Edit: if Mou at the same time doesn't fancy Luiz that much (I think he is worried about his discipline) it just makes even more sense.

if you think Matic was shit when he was with us you obviously can't see potential ,,,,So I wouldnt trust ANY valuations you make

He wasn't exactly shinning, he looked average at best.

[DanishBlue 426]

Zola - A's Scouse says he was very average. Why would we sell him if he was this big shot talent?

Naah, I'll rather not trust your valuations if that's the path you wanna go.

Have just posted this picture 40 minutes ago :

That's it. Surely Jose will not sell him then.

'Today is so special seeing everyone again at this club. I have a good relationship with everyone so of course I miss the people here when I am away.'

Luiz was better than Hummels last season. Hummels had a very poor season last year. Just don't see the benefit in swapping Luiz for Hummels because as a defender it's not that big of a difference and secondly Luiz is so popular at the club. Furthermore, Dortmund won't sell Hummels either. It's another thing if you need the money for another position if you think there is a surplus at CB but to sell your best CB to finance a move for another CB makes no sense to me.

[bleed_blue 136]

And hummels is also known to have brainfarts that most cite as the reason to get rid of luiz.

[DanishBlue 426]

Well, I think Hummels is a better CB than Luiz. Obviously I wouldn't sell Luiz unless we were sure that we could buy Hummels.

I'm not saying that I want us to sell Luiz just for the sake of selling him. All I'm saying is that 40 mio. is a lot of money and if the offer is real we

should consider it. I love Luiz though and I wouldn't mind him staying at all - don't get me wrong.

Well he was hardly given the platform to shine like he has at benfica

He had more than enough chances to prove his worth. We see just the games, the management also see the training session. No one at all could've predicted how good he'd turn out. Anyone that says they did is liar.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

No he didn't. Someone 6'4 and as technically gifted as Matic never should have been sold so soon. Wasnt given anywhere enough time to prove himself here.

And people want Hummels here? LOOOOOOOLLLL

He's just as error prone as Luiz is and he lacks the athleticism Luiz has. What would be the point?

We're simply not a selling club under Roman. What's the point of selling your best players regardless of the offer when you have almost unlimited money?

We're not paying above £30m for Rooney simply because he's not worth that much not because we can't afford him.
