Really don't like the fact that we're spending £19 million on a 29 year old left back, how many years has he got at the top? 2-3 years most likely, i know he's a great player but to me it seems like an expensive stopgap.

But he is one of the best in the world atm and usually for LB it is possible to play at top level until at least 33-35 if he looks after himself well enough. Also his game has never been based on speed so we don't have to worry about that fact. Cole could have stayed but his wages was too high and demanded 2 years deal min, I am sure Luis won't have a problem with our policy when the time comes.

Can't be many Brazilian internationals with the last name Kasmirski..

I know..his dad his Polish..should make him feel at home in Englad..

[mediator 2,026]

he has still 3 or 4 seasons in him @100%

So we are set until the season 2018 - 2019, i'm okay with this

[err 19]

would be an awesome signing.., great defender and skilled. he is marathon man with great fighting spirit. never complaining ! oh.. courtois could convince him and koke ...

[Mustafa 885]

Back 5 of Cech/Courtois, Azpi, any 2 from Gazza, Ivanovic and JT, and then Filipe Luis would be awesome

LBs are too reliant on pace and players don't get any pacier as they age; so this guy is going to be fairly expensive at 19m.

He'll be fine for atleast the next 2 years or more IMO.

I got one word for you:

Zanetti

Fair enough, but I'd call him, "the exception."

It's like saying very short strikers can be good in the air, just because Romario was good in the air.

[Tomo 21,681]

In an ideal world we would sign both him and Shaw and put the latter on a loan programme akin to Courtois, but this is the real world and that is unrealistic.

Looks like this and not Shaw is the deal happening and while i desperately wanted (still do really) Luke for many reasons, this won't be a bad deal at all, one of the best LBs in the world, can give us 3-4 good years, which is a long time (to put it in perspective Ivan broke into being a CFC regular only 5 years ago, feels longer right?).

We need some HG players and Shaw would have been ideal but this guy would be a very good addition.

Filipe Luis is due to fly to London on Saturday for talks about a £16m switch & potentially complete a medical & negotiations. #CFC (Mirror)

Filipe Luis is expected to be offered a deal worth £100,000-a-week and #CFC hope to announce all three signings by early next week. (Mirror)

[mediator 2,026]

16M£ is a very good price
