Official: David Luiz departs for PSG

[hjperdeath 2,226]

We had a higher win percentage without Luiz in our team this season, as well as 45% clean sheet record when he was there, compared to a 57% when he didn't play.

I love David, but these stats are telling.

Those stats can be misleading. There are 11 players in a team when that happens.

I'm not against the deal because at the end of the day I'd sell him without thinking twice if anyone offered 50mill, but I'm against the fact that people say he can't be a great CB. Minute errors are magnified, while it isn't the same for the rest.

whoever is in charge of our transfer business, take a bow son

Sad to see him go, good player, had his ups and downs

Hopefully this money is well spent on finding a partner for Matic

Emenalo need's a statue though. Two of the biggest players sold for 85 million. CC: @mpbx3003

a tottenham high line, a chelsea low line or a barca no line, now it simply does not matter. the only person whose opinion mattered was jose and he thinks luiz is not the guy for us.

DL is a GREAT FOOTBALLER (great defender?, i am still not sure) but as a CHELSEA defender, he barely could be counted as GOOD. and that is the most important thing. he simply was not the defender for us.

his "minute" errors are the things that our system does not allow. we play a very rigid and organized way with very little margin for error (look at the ATM 2nd leg, one "minute" mistake from EH17 had a catastrophic effect). hence, makes perfect sense to let go off a defender who simply did not play that way.

Sad to see him go, great footballer and a great lad.

It was just a misfit between us..

50M makes it a great piece of business for us and it gives Luiz the chance to be a starter and fulfil his potential elsewhere.

Best of luck, David.

Hard to get upset with that amount of money, I loved the guy though.

Ramires and Oscar are probably pretty bummed.

I think this is a good sale. Luiz's errors this year cost us at least 5 points. He has proved he doesn't have the concentration and positioning to be a great CB at Chelsea.

Rotate JT, Cahill, Kalas as CB's. Move Azpilicueta to RB with Ivanovic to play CB/RB. New LB to arrive..

Terry and Cahill errors cost us more than 10 points so your point is not valid, includin a chance in the final of the champ league

Jose this jose that fuck Mourinho his no God he has a terrible record in the transfer market and I think this is one of the stupid ones

[nore_ega 8]

first mata and then this really sad to see him leave just because he had bad season doesn't make him mediacore like some people say just look at his appearance in national when his at his best his worldclass and under rafa he was performing pretty well seems to me like it all went downhill when he didn't get mourinho's vote of confidence

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Mourinho seems to have a personal agenda with players who got along well with Rafa Benitez

true fan!!!!! standing ovation for this guy.

mourinho has a TERRIBLE record in the transfer market. he sold zlatan and bought etoo and bloody won the treble with inter milan. he bought the likes of cech, DD, essien, paulo etc etc who were the core of our team, all pathetic buys, right?

ozil and maria in RM, pathetic!!!

all terrible. sack him. fire him. crucify him!!!!
