Filipe Luís

[mtowle182 79]

why did he come here if he is just going to back a year later?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

This signing lacked logic in its beginning and lacks even more so now. Shame, Luis is actually a talented full-back and should really be playing with Cesar at RB. I guess this means Ivanovic will continue as our #1 RB.

Jose lacked logic making Ivan the undisputed n1 rb instead of Dave.

Thus, the signing of Filipe Luis lacked logic entirely.

Even if he intended to make Azpilicueta his undisputed left-back, at least buy an Atletico right-back ffs

I hope a deal for him to leave is finalised soon. It's a crying shame that he is our starting LB, but that's football for ya.

really? i think that move was very good. azpi is a much much better defender than luis.

we needed someone to cover for hazard and also for JT - hence azpi as a LB.

iva is a brilliant defender. but he has been given a free role. when we have defended (arsenal and united), iva has been absolutely brilliant. so out of the 3 FBs, we have on our payrole, iva as RB and azpi as a LB gave us the most balance.

Even more fucked up when you realize Bertrand was off for this.

A youth player who started a champions league final for us just gone like that.

And people really believe Loftus Cheeks will make it here playing in an even more high stress position...

yea, wtf.

Could of saved money, had a homegrown player and a younger player as well if Jose insisted on keeping ivan at rb.

And he's already in the premier league team of the season.

Even if he wasn't good enough to start, he has to be right on the edge of being good enough. He is also still growing as a player.

Didn't you get the memo? He's not "good enough" compared to the 29yo who's almost gone 12 months after signing

And that is the main point. If Bertrand wasn't good enough then Loftus Cheeks,Boga, or whoever most certainly will not be either. There is always going to be a "Better" player out there, and if we are going to buy just to buy then that will be the case.

He was pretty much the perfect example of what could reasonably be expected of a youth player at this current stage of time, and it was deemed not good enough. Massively disappointed as this signing appears heading towards its end.
