David Luiz

[Tomo 21,684]

Benfica are playing hardball on this one and it is likely to be done on the last day if it is.

This could go either the Makele way or (god for bid) the Robinho way.

No need for the bolding of every post.

It's harsh on the eyes at first glance, and actually makes people (instinctively) not want to read because of the irregularity.

Meanwhile, as they continue to track Van der Wiel, it is understood that Manchester City are preparing to hijack Chelsea's efforts to land David Luiz.

Carlo Ancelotti has been chasing the Brazilian defender for much of the winter window, but has so far refused to meet Benfica's demands.

That could open the door to City, with money no issue to the club's ambitious owners.-From Sky Sports

That would truly suck if city got him after all this time.

I would have to choot myself if Man City signed Luiz at the last minute, and anyway, it isn't exactly like they need him. I think they're too busy trying to tempt Dani Alves to join them at the moment...

Hardly Man City is going to buy Luiz, they have bunch of players in defense. I really hope we sign him already and finish this tense waiting. It's like when you now a bomb is going to explode and you are waiting for it thinking when it will happen.

Meh sum up my feelings now.

It's a money thing, to put it in 'blunt\ terms, Benfica are greedy bastards trying to wrangle every last penny out of us they can.

[Ollie 4,400]

Getting boring this, just wish it would hurry up. It's virtually done and will be done. They want more money up front, like it makes much difference.

Bit like Porto then. We paid over the odds for Ferrira and Carvalho. I could quite imagine the extra millions they are after would go straight into the Chairman/owner/presidents back pockets,to buy more big villas and mansions.That's football though.If we had the intelligence and patience to nurture and develop our own it would save so much money.

Well we do have an academy. And couple of young CBs. Including Bruma.

Yes and what will happen to Bruma when we get Luiz? Same as Sinclair,stoch,Mancienne,Cork etc probably.

There's a West Brom loan being rumoured if the Luiz deal goes through, Di Matteo is the right man for his development

[Henrique 9,133]

Bruma will play in another club on loan for two years, and when he come back Luiz will play as a striker and be the Premier League top scorer in 5 consecutive seasons.

Let me rephrase that....WAY! Too much..... For this kind of money we could probably get Christopher Samba, Andy Carrol or Luis Suarez and still have money to spare.. At least two of these are regular players in the Premier League.

David Luiz doesn't exactly have a John Terry like structure either. For a CB he is actually pretty small...

...let me explain to you, we are talking about football, not about rugby, and a CB is as important as a striker if you are talking winning trophies.

[Madmax 9,219]

He looks like Chicharito with Puyol's hair.

[Laylabelle 9,305]

Nah cant see it going like Robhino.They seem a bit less annoying then Madrid and no ones stuck his shirt on the website.

[eldo 868]

Hahah surely. We only cenceded 27 goals this season so far in all competitions. Our defence is curently the best in the league and i can bet we would concede even less if our attack and midfield played better.

Kolo Toure can say whatever he wants to make his black ass look better (I'm not racist), but without Tevez goals their season would go down the drain. They would be kicked out of FA Cup, he won them points against Wolves, Blackpool...

Luiz is probably good buy for future, however we don't need him soo badly for the remainder of this season.

What's Toure said?

What's Toure said?

That defenders win you trophies.
