Yes, the guy has the ball skills of David Luiz, Yes! That said, the claim that David Luiz has been shite is laughable. He hasn't been great, but he has been pretty good. The weakness at Chelsea this season has been the RB position and the inconsistency of Terry and Cole. Not David Luiz.shootmeifipost10k said:Dax777 said:He is playing as well as he did last season. Still fantastic on the ball, still a deadly option on set pieces (both shooting and heading), still banging in goals, and still making those amazing pinpoint passes from the back. Something we have no one capable of doing at the moment. We really need this guy.LoveCity said:Have been told by an avid Dutch league follower that Vertonghen is not having a good season for Ajax either and has not repeated his great form from last season. He's playing in a league where one of our kids is among the top few strikers, is he really worth going all out for?
Why the resistance, baffles me. :?
I'm sure you called this guy the dutch version of David Luiz in the last transfer window.So seeing as Luiz as been to but it bluntly shite this season and to me he looks a bit rabbit in the headlights at the pace of the prem football I'd say it's not that baffling
Like I said, when this guy finally hits the Prem, we will see. I am just hoping it is with us at 10 million and not Arsenal.

Quite unlike the best player in the world, Messi, who was phenomenal. Or City's ponce best, Tevez, who was just unstoppable. I like how folks use the same competition in whicht the best player in the world looked shit, to judge an 19 year old.bluenickusa said:Jumanji said:David Silva?bluenickusa said:I honestly cannot believe there are people wanting to bring Neymar to the PL. He DOESN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH, AT ALL. he would be a rag doll vs even Norwich's defence.
I hope next time you watch an international match you choose Brazil and watch Neymar take the piss out of what are supposed to be "strong" defenders.
I am from Argentina so i have a special interest in the brazilian game. And at the copa america Neymar was so shit I can't even begin to tell you. What international match were you watching? I can tell you that while he has great technical skill, he falls more than Suarez and Nani put together.
Silva has a very low center of gravity and is a footballing phenomenon. His touch is only behind one player in the world.
Reminds me of how many didn't want Lavezzi coz he looked shit at Copa, but clearly ignoring the fact that our own talisman at the time, looked even shittier
