Official: David Luiz Signs

[pachman40 357]

He's still a chelsea player, and the number isn't vacant.

Luiz is number 4 for Brazil, i don't see why he'd turn down a first team number anyway.

Sturridge hasn't been sold, he's on loan.

Didn't want to imply "hey sturridge, when you come back from loan you don't have a number". I was just thinking if Sturridge didn't have any special feelings for the number he may vacate it and grab another. I don't know how often that happens in Europe but in North American team sports it happens quite often when a new player comes in that he's given his normal number and the current user takes another but only if the current user suggests it.

When will he be in London and presented?

He's in London now. At Cobham tomorrow, for the first time according to Chelsea TV. Wouldn't be surprised if he and Torres appear before the media tomorrow.

I actually think that the number 4 suits him perfectly.

Carvalho II should wear six.

Great signing for the future..can contribute this year but not expecting too much from him until next season..although we got good depth at the LB position he could play there too..perhaps also in the future we could play with a back three of from right to left Ivanovic, Alex ,Luiz with attacking wing backs.

he gives us good options at the back anyway and i see us getting back to having the best defense in England again now thanks to us signing him..

Exactly what I was thinking, going oldskool. Would love to see that.

Great deal. Good job Chelsea negotiators .

23 is my favourite number so if he wears it, i'll automatically like him. But I think he should wear 4, it suits him and Sturridge already has it.

Number 6 would look nice too.

Interesting fact: Benfica fans call Luiz by the nickname pronounced as "Daveedee"

[Rambo 1,729]

They were selling his shirt on the American megastore website, apparently he'll be wearing 4.

Should be confirmed on the official site later on today then.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

There's a Chelsea reserve game today.. Chances of Torres and Luiz getting a run-out?

[Milan 17,881]

It's been a long time since Maka lastly wore number 4. Those empty days are gone - David Luiz to wear 4, confirmed
