Luiz Gustavo

[nadavTKL 1,787]

£33m is way too much, but i would have him, fantastic midfielder.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I was thinking of available physical box to box players we need for Mourinho's tactics and I totally forgot about him

[Pizy 18,402]

Haven't heard much about him since he left Bayern since I dint keep up with the Bundesliga. How good has he been?

[chrismada9 1,948]

Great player, but we don't need him... we got Matic!

That's if we're planning to offload Ramires, but unless that's purely the case, no... don't need him!

Good!

[Pizy 18,402]

If he's still as good as I remember him being I wouldn't mind him. We could basically put a brick wall in front of our back 4 and just behind Cesc which would free him from pretty much any defensive responsibility.

Simlar to Matic, he's not just a destroyer of a DM. He's great with the ball at his feet and can pick out a pass.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Good from distance.

Chelsea transfer news and rumours: Luiz Gustavo keen on £33 million Blues move

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11656428/Chelsea-transfer-news-and-rumours-33-million-Luiz-Gustavo-keen-on-Blues-move.html

He can be keen all he wants. Why in the christ would we pay £33M for such a bang average player?!? He's not even worth £15M.

In todays market, when shit players worth 10, gustavo worth 20 at least.

Wolfsburg might think that but tbh they're welcome to him.

It's not even the price as such, it's the fact that a raft of players who are at least as good and will definitely be cheaper (Schneiderlin, Imbula, Wanyama) or players who might cost a similar mount but are markedly better (Nainggolan, Witsel).

[Leif 6,006]

he makes a better CB than CDM despite playing most of his games in midfield IMO

[LondonsFinest 692]

Always liked him, but I think he's Wolfsburg's priced asset alongside KdB and Perisic. Underrated to the core, fantastic in terms of physicality and pace. Compairing him to Matic who is a sheer brute and is intelligent, this bloke is not as smart as him, but does tend to keep up with opponents a lot. Bags of stamina and work-rate. Would be a fantastic box-to-blox addition, IF we were to sign him for the right price. What is he though, 26?

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

he would make a nice upgrade over Ramires. but Rami seems a Jose favourite so probably not in the cards.

[iseah100 5,612]

No way.

[termninja 5,290]

He would be an upgrade over Mikel or Ramires so yes. Not worth 30m though. How many years he has left on his contract?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

This is the guy that could replace BOTH Ramires and Mikel and therefore release spot for another more creative CM.

Very disciplined as DM but also good going forward and has knack to score some key goals (Ramires style).

But 30m is alot, bit too much.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Matic-Gustavo

----Cesc----

Thats a midfield I could see working in the biggest stages, with Mourinho's tactics.

[mikeholiday 209]

30M for him... How much is Schneiderlin again?
