David Luiz

[Oscar 441]

Luiz was only saved being dropped by the other managers because we had not got Matic and he use to cover in the DM role when it turned out he could do a good role there. If Matic was here when our previous managers where here Luiz would have been dropped quite a few times for sure. Terry was excellent in the league last season. He had a poor game against Spurs, WBA and his lack of pace was exposed against Southampton but apart from that he was formidable and was one of the best performing CB in Europe. Luiz has a lot of qualities like I said but he is not this great defensive god as you make him out to be. PSG would have won the league with him or without him last season however in Europe he let them down on the big stage.

Jose has made a lot of mistakes with transfers etc but selling Luiz was not a bad error. Now at this moment you look at things and think you could do with him but season after he left, we won the league and had one of the best defensive records in the country if not the best IIRC.

We won the league when oscar, matic, Costa and cesc fell off the mark in 2015. JT was great, but JT was a product of Jose covering his apparent deficiencies, especially using Dave to compensate on the left side for JT. We would of won the league with Luiz on the team instead of JT or Cahill and probably progressed more in the champions league. He played Barcelona injured if you remembered.

Selling Luiz was a mistake, unlike our ams. Luis is and was our only proactive cb and the team last season would of still been one of the best defensive records in England regardless.

Luiz is a proactive type of defender, but he was full of errors for us. I honestly thought he was genius at times, and a clown at times, so not good and reliable enough.

But in midfield I liked him very much, the only way he would be good enough for us is in midfield with Matic, or replacing Matic. In midfield he could fulfill his dream to go forward with the ball, taking long shots etc, while being good at doing the defensive duties.

On selling him, it was pure for FFP like many of our other sales. Mou played Luiz as holder in CL instead of Mikel. He played him next to Matic in the league instead of Lampard and Ramires, so we could see Mourinho liked him .

This pic confused me for a second.

Out of all the players he let go this was the biggest mistake. One thing we all know is Luiz is not a quitter and his a leader something that can't be said of many of these players on here

[Etoo fils 45]

Yeah even if he's not a perfect center back, his team always can rely on him in difficult situation. He's got balls, a leader.

We should have asked for a trade with Marquinhos who is fucking good.

I looked this guy up. His name is Wout Faes, captain of the U17 squad that made it to the Semi Finals (still going on) and a central defender playing for Anderlecht. Apparently both Chelsea and Man Utd have sent scouts in the past. Could have another Luiz in 5 years. ;-)

[Oscar 441]

PSG hoards so much talent in their backline.

Maxwell, kurzawa, marquinhos, luiz, silva, aurier and vdw.... Yet, they couldn't buy a good gk....

Should go for lloris as gk and a new CF.

Would be hilarious to see what happens when Mourinho is appointed new PSG manager next summer, will this guy get send back to us for a cut price deal haha?

I read an article in L'Equipe not too long ago. It said Mourinho's not a candidate because of his style. They want a manager who will continue their current brand of football and hopefully elevate them to a new level. And it also mentioned how Mourinho's relationship with Luiz plays a factor in not appointing him as manager if they had the chance.

I don't know if it's true but at least there's logic in the reasoning.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Considering how they played against Real Madrid, no wonder they wouldn't want Mourinho. They are a positive team.

[DYC. 7,542]

£50 million for him was a bloody good deal, too good to pass up.

It was €50 mil but still too good to pass up, yeah. It's just a shame a true upgrade was never purchased.

I actually enjoy watching PSG. Would be annoyed if he brings his shit football to Paris.

Might be able to sign a couple of their players for good prices after they fall out with Mourinho because of that so cannot always look on the negative side

[Oscar 441]

PSG has the talent to be in the same bracket as Munich-barca-madrid....

BUt, they also have Blanc...

I'm not a big fan of Jose, but I take him over Blanc anyday.

[illmatic 901]

He and his Beckenbauer deliriums. The dumbest defender ever.
