David Luiz

[Fernando 6,375]

The thing is Luiz is good in CM with Matic but say god for bid Matic gets a long lay off? Luiz isn't any where near as comfortable with Lamps and his partnership with Rami is a ticking time bomb.

Lamps should not even be in this equation anymore.

Ramires why does Mourinho like him so much? He offers nothing to our attack.

At least DL offers more.

So it will be dumb to get rid of David Luiz, if players like Mikel and Ramires are still here.

I said it before, it's only good business if we use the money to buy someone better.

Or if we promote from within, but I'm not holding my breath for that. Many managers have come and go promising to promote youth.

This is all so relative.

Yes, Mourinho does not trust Luiz because in his system with deep defenders who don't need really to participate in the midfield actions, David Luiz is not only uncomfortable, but also wasted. That's why I've always said he should leave because even though Jose has found a way to use him (thats what top managers do) Luiz is not fully utilized at Chelsea right now. It's really about either keeping Jose or Luiz. I am not a Mourinho fan, because although I consider him a top manager, there are others who play in a more appealing style (achieving as much). However, Jose is one of them (top ones) and we do have him; so we ought to keep him esp because of his connection with the club.

I can certainly see Luiz becoming a far bigger nuisance when playing against us though. I can certainly see him winning those 50/50 and driving his side forward as a defender/midfielder when playing against us in the CL. The exact same thing hes done against Arsenal, Liverpool, and City.

Still, like I said, I think he will be sold and it will be the right move for all involved. As long as he is NOT sold to another English club! Reckon he'd be a good fit for some English clubs who notoriously play a high defense line...

RUMOUR: According to reliable Brazilian Lancenet!, David Luiz will be announced as a Barcelona player after the World Cup.

@BrazilStats: PSG coach Laurent Blanc has openly confirmed to TF1 that his club is interested in signing Chelsea duo David Luiz, and Oscar.

Cavani swap with Oscar, Luiz sold for 30-35m and we are all happy.

They won't get Oscar but with them liking David Luiz that's good cause it will increase the price between Barcelona and them.

Good bye Luiz. A great personality, but I think he will be better in the Spanish League.

I guess you arent a Chelsea fan so who should we let have Hazard?

so we sell Luiz because Matic might get injured ,,,,

If you mean straight swap then you must be joking. Oscar plus £18m for Cavani would be good business and no one is dumb enough to pay £30 plus for Luiz. we need to stop overrating our players.

To be honest, if they start throwing ridiculous bids for any of the two players I would take it. Hazard is central to the way we play but were Oscar and Luiz completely central to Mourinho's plans this season? No. Oscar went off the boil in and around Christmas and was dropped for almost everyone of our 'big' games. Luiz was 3rd choice CB and played in midfield more often than not (and he's NOT a DM, he's a CB with legs).

FFP clearly does not apply to PSG and they play in a shit league so they'll naturally have to pay more. They also have Cavani...to be honest, doing business with them would strengthen us a lot more if we used to money correctly. We were always going to make 1-2 big signings but everything could possibly be addressed in the one window, i.e. Shaw, CM/DLP, Costa/Cavani along with an AM that can actually unlock doors.

Cavani swap with Oscar,

When you let any player go, you have to factor in the cost of replacing them surely. Who do we replace Oscar with?

Plus swap deals are far rarer than posters on here make out.

I know but he is atm one of our better player so obviously we are going to overvalue him.For Luiz Barca already willing to pay 25m, if PSG want then 30m is not too unrealistic.

We also have a certain Spaniard out on loan who's name is Oriol Romeu. Remember him?

His sort of simple distribution and covering at the back could improve our squad.
