But he needs to be consistently solid! Not just "on his day."

How many centre backs are consistently solid, as solid as DL4 can be?

Football has a real lack of top CB's right now, we'd be crazy to sell him.

That's the usual argument. "On his day" - seemingly ignoring the fact that those 'days' come along 1 game in every 10 or 12.

well let's hope you guys sell him then , and keep Cahill-Ivanovic as your mains CB.

some of you guys don't think on the long term enough imo.

dogshit 9 out of 10 games means season over any EPL team. Few years? How many years are few. He should go to less competitive leagues like La Liga where there is greater margin for error and points. He can be a Mario Balotelli for a CB - Best & Crazy on any given day.

Chelsea F.C. doesn't seem too keen on selling David Luiz, so, no, we're not selling David Luiz. We are not a selling club like you guys.

And the preferred CB partnership is Terry-Cahill. Ivanovic is first choice RB and even if Chelsea were to run on opinions of GL members and sell Luiz, we would immediately buy a replacement for him.

by El Chelsea Fuerte Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:05 pm

I still want to see a creative CB (someone of Luiz's creative quality) next to Terry. If Mourinho continues to feel that Luiz is a liability, then please sell him and buy someone else.

by Nedved Mon Nov 25, 2013 9:49 pm

creative CB? Shocked

I have n't heard that before. CB position is not for creativity , but for positional awareness and no nonsense defending. e.g. Varane, Puyol.

Only way Luiz can bring in creative quality is by not playing as CB, but as DM which I think best suites him. Don't get me wrong. I like Luiz.

by El Chelsea Fuerte Mon Nov 25, 2013 10:21 pm

If you compare Terry/Cahill and Luiz you can easily see that Luiz is more "creative", not rigid like the former. That creativity is what I'd like to go next to Terry.

by Uncanny Mon Nov 25, 2013 10:22 pm

Luiz is a blue through it all, I'm going to keep holding out for him Smile

by Uncanny Mon Nov 25, 2013 10:27 pm

I don't necessarily view him as creative, but at dm I can somewhat see that, especially with him wanting to join the attack, ugh mou.... Just put him there

Shed's a one man Blue army who wants to get rid of Luiz Proud

We'll see pictures of him alone, petitioning outside the Bridge soon Proud

Isn't it cute.

Mou may not sell him to Barca. He hates them.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho plays down fresh speculation linking David Luiz with a January move to Barcelona:
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9071924/jose-mourinho-has-played-down-fresh-speculation-over-david-luiz

"Everything is clear. He's our player and we are happy he's back in a moment when we need him and John in defence."

"The market is open in January but I don't think we will be buying or selling... There has been no contact from other clubs or from his people."

by Nedved Fri Dec 13, 2013 7:40 pm

Mou perhaps will judge David at the end of season. Hope he does well and in WC.

Barcelona again consider Chelsea's David Luiz:
With captain Carles Puyol's continual fitness problems and a contract extension with young Spain international Marc Bartra still yet to be agreed, Barcelona are considering following up their unsuccessful summer bid for David Luiz with a further attempt to sign the out-of-favor Chelsea defender

David Luiz had a monster of a game in midfield for Chelsea today. His ability to find his man with long passes is phenomenal. Analysis of his passing technique..

by Kick Mon Dec 30, 2013 5:27 am

When he gets it right, it is beautiful to watch, for sure.

David Luiz wanted by Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola in bid to boost defensive options:
Guardiola has been monitoring Luiz for years - and Bayern could now be willing to part with big money to bring the Chelsea defender to Munich
