That is only if he does not have pride, which he obviously has to have if he worked hard enough to make himself one of the best(if not the best) in his position as showed last season.

I am sure it isn't lost on him that the two people he moved here with from the same club last season have been able to secure first XI spots, while he is left to sit on the bench.

In principle I wholly agree with you. However, in context everything changes. Using the same example you provided, for posterity sake, you have to examine the path in which they collectively gained their first team spots.

Fabregas and Costa had to fill vacant roles (or displace Mikel/Ramires and Drogba, who was never intended to play 40 games), while Luis had to displace a pristinely in-form Azpilicueta.

I find it difficult to blame him, for me we must look at the tangibles first and--all other things being equal--then we can whittle it down to a lack of pride on his part. In the very least I would commend him for his professionalism, but then again that's just a different side of the same coin.

I don't really understand how playing Luis would be a risk. Luis doesn't need to be eased in neither does he need to play soft games and be protected. I've read around online with some people even sug

What a travesty. He's been nothing short of superb this season. Good enough to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title and also to make it into Champions League semifinals, but apparently no

Regardless of what he says, he must feel completely mugged off. This is one of the best LB in Europe around and although we have had 3 games in 1 week he has not started a game. Azpi has been fantastic but there is no harm in giving a very good LB the odd start and rotating. It just seems what was the point in paying this much for a LB that was never going to play. It is not as if he has been poor as well. He has been very solid for us when he has played.

It seems he will be sold this summer. His role this season could be easily replaced with any young player. If Jose will use him again next season with the same role as this season, think we should sell him, better for both party.

Filipe played great today. The attacking he provides on the left flank is greater than azpi's offensive contribution on that side. I really want to see filipe on the left and azpi on his natural right side. Shame if Filipe is sold...

Yeah, José clearly doesn't fancy him. I like Filipe, but for the betterment of himself, he should go elsewhere.

That being said he has repeatedly said he wants to see out his contract for the next two seasons....

If we sell Luis in the summer, then who can we get to replace him?

I think we need to be careful about selling players just because we feel sorry for them and all that (people are also talking about selling Remy for instance). The main objective now is to improve the quality in our squad and bolster our options, not selling players and overhauling like half of the team. We should be sorting out the key areas that need improvement first before even thinking of tackling the area that we have no problem with right now.

Silly, silly Jason. You realise we're not actually in charge of the transfers. Stupid.

If the replacement is going to play the same minutes as Luis this season, why not try Ake?

He would be perfect. At Reading he played some games as a LB and he was great. He is also homegrown and and pretty much a defensive allrounder.
