Can't believe we're serious about him. Not at 32 million ffs.

We really shouldn't be in for a centre back, as has been said numerous times we are fully stocked there with quality talent and no way could we bring anyone else in.

[NoFear 23]

And even if we bring, it should not be at 32m !!! No way are we gonna pay that much for a CB. We weren't willing to pay that extra 2m for Robinho !!! Better spent on a combined bid for Neymar + Ganso...

[crazy1 24]

why we are going for him.......i think we should go for Micah Richards / Showcross / Gary Cahill........as they are english and will be available for max to max around 10 to 15 m pounds.............and they hv proved themselves in premier league............

He's not even that good! Nothing on Terry, Alex or Ivan, and I'd certainly rather see Bruma given a chance than see us splash out for defensive COVER.

Exactly! If we are selling Carvalho which seems imminent, then push Bruma forward. We'd have Perfectly good cover without buying. If the club are serious about pushing youth through, then they won't spend pointless money replacing Carvalho.

Definitely agree! Promoting Bruma would be a better and much more cheaper option than splash out millions on an unproven player.

Manchester City on alert as Benfica tell Chelsea to improve £27m bid for defender David Luiz.

Chelsea have been told they must stump up £33million to sign top defensive target David Luiz from Benfica.

Sportsmail revealed on Saturday that Carlo Ancelotti has identified Luiz as the man he wants to plug the gap in the centre of Chelsea's defence.

But Benfica, who are on the verge of selling midfielder Ramires to Chelsea in a £20m deal, are determined to play hard ball over Luiz who received his first call-up to the senior Brazil team yesterday by new coach Mano Menezes.

Chelsea were ready to pay £27m to head off the formidable opponents of both Manchester City and Real Madrid in the race to sign one of Europe's most highly rated young defenders.

And it remains to be seen whether Roman Abramovich is determined to go the extra mile for his manager who will be without injured defender Alex for the start of the season.

With Ricardo Carvalho having signaled his desire for a move to the Bernabeu and a reunion with Jose Mourinho, Ancelotti could find himself short of numbers in central defence if Chelsea are unsuccessful in their big money move for Luiz.

You serious? he's no way worth 35M..not even close to it.

[Madmax 9,219]

I'm not sure but will 33 million make him the world's most expensive defender?

Lol

Last year when City wanted to buy Terry they gave 40 mln and now we are offering 27 for some young lad without experience in PL?

Yes for him, no for that price
