David Luiz

That makes me feel a little better after that Torres deal...feels good to rip someone off for once.

Did Psg not just get fined over FFP??

City have been capped at spending £49m in transfers but PSG spend like £50m on one player :/

They already have Zlatan, gosh they are greedy

Thanks.. It's the honest truth he went from hero to zero in a lot of members eyes in less than a season which is really disappointing how fickle some can be.. But when Terry and Lampard can get God's then Villains then our foreign players have no chance..

Well player Chelsea...Sell your players who celebrate on knees when they win and cry when you lose a trophy which you don't have the opportunity to play every year.Sell the players who care about the team,who care about the badge on the shirt and the fans.Buy players who play only for the money which they will receive in the end of the week,who don't care about the shirt,about the fans...Luiz is the kind of a player who will always give his best for the team till the last second.I knew that since his first start against man utd.Where hi scored very important goal and from his celebration you can understand how determined this player is for the club.This kind of a player is more than a football player.

Thank you David for every moment that you have made me happy and proud,and these moments were many.Thank you for everything you have made for the club in the last years.I only regret for that these moments won't continue...Hope you will always keep the blue flag flying high!All the best geezer!

I understand you liked him as did others,but making him out to love the club more than others and whom we may buy in the future.is ignoring the fact that a) not everyone who cares deeply about the club has to be so visibly emotional (i myself have been to 90% of Chelsea games over the last 33 years,but have never cried at a game,even after relegation and 94 cup final, 2008 in Moscow etc..) and b if any other team had bid more for him than us to Benfica,he wouldn't have joined us. He loves playing football and all footballers love playing for big clubs,winning big trophies..i thank him for the good memories,nothing more.

Do you reckon we could squeeze Marko Marin into Luiz's suitcase?

[Blue Traveler 256]

I'm not sad but delighted. 50m for a defender is just a magnificent bargain. Well done Board!

Now let's make more money by selling Ramirez and Torres.

Hazard can be next if the right price put on the table.

I understand the fans who are really depressed over this, i love Luiz too and he will be missed, but it wasnt surprising at all... didnt you expect this to happen since Cahill-Terry really established as the best CB pair? I mean it was obvious he wont be a starter next season (he wasnt a regular starter this season), and when PSG, Barcelona and Bayern were all after him the result was very obvious for me.

I never wanted Luiz sold but at this price can't imagine fans feeling depressed

We can see every EPL team on television, not just Chelsea in the United States... One could argue, we can watch the EPL better than people living in England (minus actually going there).

USA loves its sports!

Missed my point obviously..

[zolayes 14,489]

Terry has been at Chelsea football club since he was a teenager cleaning boots ffs, Lampard has been here for 13 years. Why are you comparing how we feel about THEM with David-fucking-Luiz?

he is David Luiz ,,, You are Terminator FUCKING X and you still don;'t donate

I thought he loved us but clearly not begging to stay. #Gutted

I think you missed my point I am saying they are legends and opinions of them have had the same as expressed as Luiz from hero to zero more recently but they have been staples to Chelsea spine for years and as such were given the opportunity by Mourinho to restore their reputations as top notch footballers.. Luiz was not afforded the same which is sad cause last season as many others have agreed was the best central defender we had

[Korea 734]

Missed my point obviously..

No, I understand completely..

However, more fans = more money (to a degree)...Also, the useless preseason tours equals more money for Chelsea FC and gives them exposure to fans across the united states= more money..

Selling Luiz to reinvest, I completely understand with.

love needs to be reciprocated ... tho possibly Jose thinks it is a one way street

[The Mak 4,459]

Imagine, just imagine, if we suddenly spend a huge chunk of this money on Paulinho.....

Stop that...where is the ban button on this thing?

[José1893 89]

So happy about Luiz' departure for the sum. Mata, de Bruyne and Luiz sold for a huge amount of money, well done José!

Just feck those annoying foreign/ african facebook fans who cry about every news from Chelsea and want Mourinho out and Benitez in (wtf!?) or Mata back

I tend to feel gutted when managers leave..John Neal,Ruud Gullit and Jose being the 3 that stick out..with players it's been alongtime..Pat Nevin in '88 being the last really. Is more expected part of the game for me i guess that players come and go..obviously miss the likes of Carvalho,Ballack,Zola,Makalele etc..but don't get gutted over them leaving..i'm gutted Torres ever joined..

[sdrcfc 461]

Just woke up to see the transfer has been agreed, more than happy to see the price nearer to 50 than 40 though.
