Blue Exile

I appreciate all he gave us, I also think he's been a twat. 

None of what was speculation?  "It" ? That's pretty broad, you might want to quote what you are specifically rambling on about before you start patting yourself on the back about anyone changing their mind. 
If you try really hard I reckon you might be able to find a post of mine where I specially referred to some things being speculation, and some things not being speculation... imagine that?!

If he did this, there are too many young influential players in that dressing room.  You simply cannot allow that disrespect.  
Jose didn't play him, so he went to PSG.  Conte didn't play him and he sulked.  Now he tossed his toys out of the pram when a coach dared to offer feedback.
We really had no choice but to get rid of him.

Interesting how he seems to have improved dramatically in the media in the space of 24 hours! Liability at chelsea, Saviour at arsenal! 

South American w**ker ?

Why would he sign a 2 year extension then put in a request shortly after? He is pushing now because he wasn’t going to get started, he also wouldn’t have been played vs Barcelona etc if he had put in an early transfer.
What you’re saying is counter to every logic that people have used to understand what’s going on, Scott’s scenario is how everyone including “in the know” journos have read into it , no one would assume what you’ve said because it makes no sense in context of the events and timeline. 

Well it isn't, but ok. 
I personally find it very unlikely that the club would have chosen for this to play out as it did, with us seemingly panic selling a senior player to a direct rival for £8M on transfer deadline day. 
But yeah, we are all entitled to form our own opinion on what is most likely to have happened... 
 

What "proof" are you hoping anyone can provide? 
Do you think the club asked him to move to Arsenal, 4 days before the season starts, 3 months after awarding him a new contract? 
I appreciate there is a certain amount of speculation involved, but we should also be allowed to engage our brains and connect the most simple of dots here. 
The rest of your post is a bit weird to be honest, so not really sure what to say. 
Don't worry though mate, I can put your mind at rest on one point that you are fretting about; when a player considers signing for Chelsea in the future, I can assure you that Luiz (potentially) getting a few boo's whilst playing for a rival team in a derby, will be about number 1167996796 on their list of concerns. Chill. 
Oh and finally,  where did I even say I wanted to boo Luiz? I invite you to provide evidence "beyond reasonable doubt" please. 

Well, forcing a move through to a London rival the day before the transfer window closes, 4 days before our opening fixture, in a period where we are restricted with a transfer ban.
To add additional context, this is a player who the club recently bent their stern rules to accommodate, by rewarding him with a new 2 year contract just 3 months ago, despite him being 32. 
None of the above is speculation. 
The speculation would be him calling in 'sick' for training and having a row with Frank because he was told he would have to fight for his place like everyone else. We won't know the details, but it's pretty damn obvious that we as a club didn't plan for it to play out like this. Something happened. 
You may think booing ex players is pathetic. That's your opinion. Gallas played a big part in our success and was boo'd by 40 odd thousand in Stamford Bridge back in 2006. It happens. 
Ultimately, respect is a two way street, and it worth noting that players who have conducted themselves well, such as Lamps, Cech and Mata returned to a hero's welcome. 

Well if you leave under circumstances such as this, and join a London rival, that is the risk you take. 
I am not a fan of pantomime style booing in general, but should fans wish to make their feelings known I certainly wouldn't consider them "moronic" for doing so. 

I doubt we will ever find out the truth about this, but if he has reacted badly to being told he isnt first choice then engineered a move while we are in the situation we are then frankly, f**k him.

I wouldn't say I have hate for Luiz, but 'calling in sick' for training to force a move through to Arsenal, the day before the transfer window closes, and 4 days before we play our first game isn't the way to do things (for me). 
If he wasn't willing to stay and fight for a place like everyone else, then I think he should have made this clear months ago, and we could have made arrangements to suit. 
Of course we don't know all the ins and outs, but he does appear to be turning his back on the club at the first sign that he isn't first choice. 
For me, the bit that annoys me is that one of the few positives of the transfer ban was the lack of drama, and the lack of uncertainty over who would be in the squad come the first home game of the season. I like the fact that we were quietly going about our business in training, with everyone knowing they had a fair shot at impressing the Manager, getting in the team on merit, with no risk of a last minute transfer to come in and blow everything out the water.
Luiz has taken a piss on that bonfire. He has caused a drama, and seemingly done whatever it took to force through a move. I don't like that, and I will judge him for that. Always liked him to be honest, so it's a sad way to go out. 
Anyway, I like the way it has been handled by Lampard and the club; if he isn't with us then get rid. 

Not sure how anybody can sympathise with him, seeing the entitled reaction he has coughed up? 
I do scratch my head sometimes when we call for a together, harmonious and young team, then Luiz pulls this stunt - and it is him pulling it, and he then has people on his side.

I mean if he wants to go to Arsenal then we should let him, anyone willingly wanting to move there is clearly in no fit state to be playing regular football. 

I remember squabbling over shirt numbers with my school team mates....I was about 9 years old at the time.

The dislike here is real it's like he hurt someone of you personally

5 sackings in the last 10 years is below average in the modern era. For perspective in the same timeframe Liverpool are on 4, Spurs are on 4 and United are on 3 and this is despite all 3 clubs having long term manager's in the hotseat for almost half of the period.

f**k off and dont come back, the epitome of a gutless footballer.
Knew he was a wrong un when he was out injured with his back then posted a picture on Twitter of him giving his wife a piggy back. ????

Glad he’s gone, didn’t have the stomach or fight to play in England. Far too soft
More money in the kitty for when the ban is up

He doesn’t want to be here though, what’s the point? He showed in his last months that he couldn’t be arsed. Much rather give it to a hungry young striker who will make the effort than a sully ungrateful Spaniard who doesn’t give two sh*ts about our club

He’s not very good though, so when you add to the mix he doesn’t like England, English football or the club then I think you would be very naive to think it would work in our favour keeping him.
