David Luiz

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Anyone noticed the web polls on the official site? Last one was based on the priority for a new signing, the new one is who should fill the 4th CB spot (new signing/youth). I wonder how much the outcome is taken into consideration.

The only player ManShitty needed this summer was Boateng.

To be honest, this kid is going to be one of the best centre backs in the world,reminds me a lot of puyol. I'd really like to sign him but if not I just hope Man Shitty don't get him.

Thank god for that!! No David Luiz!!

[Randall 315]

According to Ancelotti - not interested. Oh well. Let's hope someone in our defence gains some speed in the coming weeks then to compensate for JT being slower than an inanimate object.

No real suprise we are not in for Luiz, we don't need him!!!!

Looks like we're going to see more of Jeffrey Bruma this season then. I'm not complaining about that, I just hope he can be as good as David Luiz, and that we're not going to feel like we're saying no to another potential world class defender.

I have felling that Bruma could also be one of the best defenders.

He played well against Ukraine. He really is mixture of Terry and Carvalho, just like he was described when he was scouted.

He made big leap, from playing mostly for youth team last season and only 112 minutes of first team football to debut for Dutch squad.

He only needs to gain toughnes with playing.

I do think that by signing Luiz we would delay Bruma's breakthrough.

Ivanovic is pretty fast but he needs a little time to reach full speed. Not as pacey as Riccy was in his prime though.

Bruma too has good speed for a CB. But he's not ready yet.

What our CB's do lack is agility (Bruma has good agility but again, not ready yet) and we don't have a real reader of the game. But defenders who really read the game are fading away quikly. Now it's all physical.

Are asking for Jeffrey Bruma to be as good NOW as David Luiz?

3 World class centre backs is enough, and if we didn't relsease Carvalho then we would never have been able to bring Bruma through.

I don't want Chelsea to pay a lot of money to buy DL.
