turnbull Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just a thought... Martin Tiler just called Luiz a "fuzzy haired Brazilian" Isn't that an oxymoron? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 as said earlier, good footballer crap defender. Benitez got ebst out of him by putting him in front of defence so cant do much damage. For Khedira goal he was on half way line when he put it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSepulchrave Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The good news is that if you put him next to the best CB in the world and play a DM deep in midfield specifically to drop back and do the defensive job Luiz is meant to be doing, you can compensate for the big hole he leaves in the back line a lot of the time. As a player who makes powerful runs from deep, I get the appeal. Just a pity about all that pesky defending stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 A prize clearing in the woods that recieved the most beautiful comeuppance. Chelsea be like lololololololol, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 He's absolute crap and last night proved it, some on here who rate him have egg on their faces, he's an appalling defender and Mourinho must be in fits of laughter for flogging that utter dead horse for so much money.

kurtsimonw Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 People talk about his ability on the ball and while it's becoming part of a modern day centre back, it's not really necessarily. His tackling, discipline and positional sense are horrific. Problem for him is you need a few of those attributes as a DM too. I think he'll always be an erratic player, it's just who he is.

Frobisher Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 He'd be a perfect central defender for an exhibition team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 He's a loose cannon. That wild kick he had at Muller last night was indicative of a nutcase. Never liked him, but his feigning injury at Old Trafford that time sealed it for me. Knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I lost count of the times I noticed he was completely out of position, several times he ended up on the wing when Germany had the ball. He has no discipline which is presumably what made Mourinho get rid. That and the £50m that PSG hilariously offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I wonder what the minimum Chelsea would have sold him for is though. They had invested a lot of money in the bloke, he was £21.5m + Matic when Chelsea signed him, then they bought Matic back for £21m a couple of years later. I'm sure there is some kind of warped accountancy which shows Luiz is responsible for some £42m of Chelsea's money so maybe they were never going to accept anything other than an insane offer.

You're probably right but it's still unbelievable that PSG offered it. If I had £50m to spend, I certainly wouldn't be spending it all on Luiz. I bet Chelsea couldn't believe their luck when the offer was tabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
