David Luiz

[Andouble]

I'm I the only one who actually rates him?

I think he'll be a star in a few years.

He's clumsy and out of position a lot, but yes, agreed, within another season he'll be one of the best CBs in Europe.

I really like him as well, he's a bit rash with his challenges though

I have been pmd by a trusted poster. We have bid 28m.

IMO, he is already in Top 5 English Premier League Centre-Backs.

Kompany
Vidic
Vermaelen
Coloccini
Koscielny
Lescott...

(In no particular order btw but at least 6 that could be considered better than Luiz)

 

[ranxerox]

This is turning into a bit of a sideshow....

as in "Sideshow Bob"?

 

[ABU inc GDR]

Surely not Luiz?

Who recomened Savic and is he still involved with the club?

30million for a centre half?..This can't be true!

Yes sir.

 

[Damanino]

First Agger now Luiz.

8 days to go.

Hopefully Savic gets better every day. Trust him more in the center of defence than Marwood in transfers.:)

I have been pmd by a trusted poster. We have bid 28m.

But were'nt we interested before he moved to Chelsea for 21m and thought the price was too much then. I think he has potential but surely his value has dropped after the number of mistakes made.

 

[wrongun73]

Lovely hair, sign him up

............& that is why that trusted poster hasn't actually posted it.

I obviously am not privy to City's transfer dealings or negotiations, but this sounds like bullshit of the highest order.

This is the story : Chelsea have rejected a £30m bid from Manchester City for 25-year-old Brazilian defender David Luiz. City are in the hunt for defensive cover with Micah Richards out of action for 10 weeks through injury.

Now let's examine this closely. City have a 4th central defender in Rekik, our problem is having a good enough one that is readily available currently. This would not cost 30m (we could buy pretty much any central defender in Europe for 30m).

David Luiz is a LEFT-SIDED CENTRAL DEFENDER. Quite what his acquisition would have to do with Micah's injury, I have no idea.

Would it be intelligent to spend 30m on defensive COVER ?

Now saying all of this, I actually quite rate him as a centre-half, and think that he and Vinny would make a superb long-term partnership (with Joleon being in his thirties he can fight with David Luiz for his place short-term)..

couple of rumours (namely the sun) about it

how true it is who knows

EDIT..ignore that just noticed you found the relevant rumour

Vertonghen was a bad miss he would of been ideal,especially with kompany being his belgian sidekick.Vinny needs some lessons on how to tap up potential teamates better

 

[mancyman]

whenever i watch luiz i am not sure he really is a centre half. looks more like a midfield player to me. quite good on the ball but gets dragged out of position as a cb. might be an option in the middle of the park.

This, exactly what I was thinking.

 

[lionheart]

Why on earth would Chelsea even consider selling to their main rivals?

 

[Greenjob]

Forget the story, it is typical of the Sun. What is laughable though are some of the comments made by Chelski fans in the thread below the story. One particular individual berating City wrote this bollocks:

"We champions for a reason. we have spent years building this team ! not just obscenly throwing money around to buy the title" !

Priceless!!

Luiz is an unbelievably talented defender who would significantly improve City's team.

However, it must be about the 50th player linked to us

Sideshow bob is a defender with an eye for goal but can't really defend

I wouldn't know how to classify him, but he is an amazing player. I agree he "lacks defensive discipline", but I'd love him at City. Would finish the jigsaw. Probably rubbish with the reason the player being out of CFC's side down to injury, but he'd suit City perfectly
