So what happened with this transfer? 

Since the window closed....

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Should have gave him to West ham for free

[Henrique 9,133]

Thats weird.

I'm pretty sure Lampard told Luiz he won't be starting many games this season or there is something going on behind the scenes. This came out of nowhere.

I'll have to try and get a ticket for the arsenal game to shout abuse at him. 

 

Black market guys

Not that pissed off about him doing that really. When football has been your life and you get to 32 you know that first team performances week in week out are less likely.

If the gooners have promised him first team regularity, which Lampard has not, you cant blame him. However, I doubt he will get it.

He is the only real leader from the back too. I don't see any sense in this at all.

We have no leaders when times get tough. One thing we've been sorely lacking since the core left/retired.

I respectfully disagree. We have LAMPS. He is a leader and he is okay with moving away from those who arent interested in working for the team. David Luiz has always been a good time guy. To me this sounds like Lamps is finally putting a stamp on player power at CFC. 

[BigMabz 61]

David Luiz- the good time guy. I appreciate the time youve spent at the club. I really appreciate the work he has down and the enthusiasm he shows when working in the community. Hes a top guy for the way he interacts with the kids in the CFC foundation for example. Great community presence.

But, this is a football decision and Lamps appears to be operating from the stand point that reduces player power, regardless of reputation. Lets drop his large contract, give some of the young guys some regular playing time. See what happens over the course of the year and when we need to, dip into the transfer market and make a big splash on a world class CB. 

I love the decision to let him leave. Even if it is to Arsenal.

he will be an instant starter (or maybe after a game or two) they have the worst CB's of any top 20 team in the world

[Vesper 28,853]

I have only one question

why the fuck did we sign him to a 2 year extension and then sell him for only £8m!!!!!

wtf

surely we could have had close to £20m, or at least 15m

Arse were DESPERATE

all their other targets were no goes

grrrrrrrr

I have to say

I hate the cunt traitor

but this was not a smart deal UNLESS Tomori  blows up

strangeness

Tomori and Zouma have more pressure on them than anyone else IMHO

if they both go to shit, we are so so so fucked, as no way can AC and a still injured Rudiger put in an Azpi-like 4600 minutes

[nyikolajevics 2,578]

I don’t really care about Luiz. Have been great for the club but let’s move on. I really like Rüdi, Zouma is great, I firmly believe in Tomori and I still hope Christensen can get his shit together as he is has the best brain and eyes to the games, just needs to relax and enjoy the game. It will be not easy for Lampard to find the best pair, there are many combinations - there is Dave aswell - but maybe this is how it was meant to be, playing Luiz would’ve been a waste of time in long term.

[milka 3,346]

Rudiger and Zouma/Christensen . Tomori in FA Cup and Carabao . Not the best but  its not so bad .

Thats arsenal job.

We have sold a couple players but neither Arsenal or United ever realy benefited from them. They just forked shitload of cash for past it players and never realy got great results in return.

But I agree we should sell Luiz for 20m given we play in PL and selling to rival. 

Thats easy to say in hindsight, but Mata werent past his peak imo, Matic did kinda ok his first season, And Cech did good with gunners, even had the most clean sheets if im not wrong. But still I dont like selling to rivals unless we benefit greatly. Thers no way in hell the likes of city spurs etc would sell us anything.....and we def should have asked for more, 8M is nothing, some big shit must have happened since we are giving him away for such small sums in footy terms.

Bid £40m for Claudio Bravo, £40m for Phil Jones or £50m for Ben Davies and see how long that stays true.

I was absolutely delighted we got £40m for a heavily declined Matic and spent the season hoping United were going to give us even more for Willian.

Move finally confirmed.
