No he is not, they did use him and was quite poor. If they do sell marquinhos they can fetch around 25m. Marginal loss for PSG.

Luiz+Silva are the best CB pairing in the world, i truly belive that outside of Thiago Silva that David Luiz is as good as any CB in the world. Also David Luiz is very marketable and one of the most recognizable defenders in the world. A marketing agenda is also behind this buy.

As for us if we do inded buy a LB, Azpi can go back to RB and that would allow Ivanovic to become our 3rd CB, Ivanvoic is absolute quality as a CB so we don't need to buy another CB to replace Luiz.

Luiz is still a big loss not only from quality perspective but also like Mata a major loss as an ambassador for the club. Truly going to miss Luiz.

I think Luiz showed enough times he's not a reliable CB like the best in the world. Marquinhos, who's 7 years younger, was a fantastic CB in Roma, thats why PSG got him for 30m, but they didnt gave him the chance to stay in the line up, they preferred to go with Alex who already used to play with Silva. Did Luiz ever was a fantastic defensive CB anywhere? not in Chelsea, i dont think he was in Benfica either, so i dont know how can you say he's more talented than Marquinhos. Luiz is the one who needs to prove himself as a great CB in the age of 27, Marquinhos has a lot of time and imo he's already better in the main aspects.

Luiz would have been brilient in Barcelona, he's perfect for the position football and the attacking approach. I think he could be good in PSG because he playes with Silva, but Marquinhos could have been better.

Can only echo what others have said really.

Luiz came to us full of promise, as you'd expect from a young CB costing £25m-ish. He has had some fantastic periods here, despite short term thinking that forces opinions to the contrary. However, this season especially, he has shown that he cannot be completely relied upon as a top CB should be. He has been useful in midfield, but that is the extent of it. He is essentially our 3rd/4th choice CB and a part-time midfielder. If we are able to get anything over £30m for him it is fantastic, nevermind the 40-50m prices that are being thrown around.

I do not feel the way our team is set up gets the best out of him as a CB. At Bayern or Barcelona, for example, I think we would fit in very well with his aggressive pressing, his decent passing and pace. Defending deep and being fully concentrated for the whole game like he has to be at Chelsea doesn't suit him.

Wish him the best because for all his errors and flaws, he seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and is no doubt a very talented player.

Actually he was the best passer we had to develop something from the back/mid as Mourinho prefer to use Ramires! :doh:
