David Luiz

DL was done for long before he went to Arsenal. Bonkers move by them imo but good for us. He was a very good servant of the Club though. His 16-17 season under Don Conte was his best.

Yeah, I don’t get why people are so harsh on him, he is was a very important player in the 2010s. 
 

I remember nobody really cared when we signed him on deadline day 2011 because everyone was focused on Torres. He came on as a subtitle against Liverpool(which was also Fernando’s debut) and I was surprised how good he was. He scored epic goals, won CL and two EL, good memories.

Yeah he def had his moments.......overall been a very good player for us if you see past his out of this world trips here and there. No where near good enough at the top level now though.

I was delighted to get him and wanted him the previous summer, thought he was the perfect replacement for Carvalho.

Same here, I even bought a david Luiz shirt after we got him in that summer. Was a breath of fresh air. But as with like Mourinho he left a sour taste afterwards. 

I think many people will forgive and forget once he retires and comes back to the club to say hi or be a spectator.

What the f*ck? £8m?? Might be the downfall of Lamps already. Pushing out our best CB in a window where we cant sign any replacement. 
This autumn can be very nasty for the club...

Yeah because our defence has been rock solid this season  Im 100% sure Luiz would have made our defence better this season even with his headless decision sometimes. Just look at his stats in Chelsea vs Arsenal. He was good for us. 
 

So the point is not that Luiz is the best defender in the world but that the rest of our defenders is weaker and his departure fucked us up which i still think. He was good in pre season for us with his passing range and feets.

Club legend after this year for sure.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Needs to just go back to Benfica and have his finishing time there, nothing more than an average footballer.

I appreciate what he did here but that doesn't stand in the way of him being utterly middle of the road.
