David Luiz back at Chelsea

Club is going in a new and exciting direction, and a 32 year old David Luiz who may not be Frank's cup of tea, maybe going to a rival who will definatly not improve them, and we might get 20/30 million, happy days. 
They have Mustafi and Sokratis. How does this not improve them? Or put another way two days ago (and with no ban) if SSN were reporting a Luiz - Mustsfi straight swap what would have been the general consensus on here have been then?

 
To be fair to Luiz, when we came in for him second time around, he requested to leave and it seems he wants first team football. 

 
I'd rather give backing to Rudi, Christensen, Tomori and Zouma and try and get a good fee for Luiz.

He's on the decline now and I think it's now time to move on and see how much we can rip Arsenal off. 

I don't believe for one second we'll get to January and be saying "we really shouldn't of sold Luiz" 

 
May be a lot of talk for nothing but this is very surprising from so many angles. The only way this would make sense for me is if Lamps is bringing in a culture with which Luiz doesn't align, for whatever reason. But even then, we have a transfer ban. I guess Azpi could be shifted to CB with the arrival of James so we wouldn't be too thin but still....

 
I don't rate Zouma at all and Tomori isn't good enough. So to go into a season with just Rudiger and Christensen as viable CBs isn't very good. I'd also rather not sell to a PL rival yet again, but we seem to be making a habit of it lately.

Lot of people say this but CB in a 3 is not the same as in a 4, he isn’t built like a CB he is 5’10, for me in a pickle maybe he could fill in but not as a permanent fixture 

 
What the hell is this all about?

If this is true, then Luiz is being a proper prick, but we also can't ignore how much of a massive blow this will be. A cb pairing of Zouma and Christensen for the early parts of the season is not ideal, it's very worrying actually. We can't afford to be losing players, especially players we can't replace. 

Also, if we sell him to Arsenal, then any faith I had in our board will be gone completely. I don't have much hope for top 4 as it is, but it would be mental to sell him to a rival as big as Arsenal when we are struggling to get a team together capable of challenging for top 4. Strengthening them and weakening ourselves further would be ludicrous. I am also sick and tired of selling to our rivals, it's like our club just doesn't give a damn about these things. It's all about the money we can get for the player, even if there is a big chance of us suffering on the pitch because of it. I've had enough of it now, we are the only club that seems to do this so often. A few of your backup players is understandable, but not players that have helped you win so much and become fan favourites.

 
The weirdest thing about this is Luiz is walking away from a career for life. 

He's never going to be welcomed back to the bridge. He will never be offered a coaching gig in the future. Ambassador jobs? Turning up for friendlies? All gone at the age of 32. I don't understand it at all. 

I'm fine with him leaving, I think it forces us to bleed the three (maybe 4) defenders who are our future. I just don't see why he is doing this damage to himself!!

 
Not sure why Luiz is picked out as a terrible defender who always makes mistakes. He makes as many mistakes/poor decisions as any of our other defenders. He also creates chances for us with his passing range and vision from the back. He is an asset for any team, especially one like Arsenal who have a pacey forward line and can make those sneaky runs in behind. He would for sure strengthen Arsenal and if the board agree to this sale, they are mad. 

 
Thing is, he has forced our hand given us little option. David Luiz is an emotional player and can sulk if there are problems. We’ve seen it a few times with him. 

We were all worried when Cech was going there but he didn’t make too much of a difference and I don’t think Luiz will make too much either.

I agree with both of these posts.

If he wants to leave, he has to go. It will be a loss but it will be worse to keep him around. 

 
Some bloke on Sky Sports just said that sources have told him David Luiz will be an Arsenal-player tomorrow.
Good, now Marina needs to use the European windows to get rid of more deadwood from our squad. Zappacosta, Drinkwater, Bakayoko for sure should go.

If he signed a contract in may, why such a ridiculously low fee?

Too cheap, not good on our behalf if true.

 
Why the hell are we selling to a direct rival for top 4?

Arsenal we know you're competing with us for Champions League places but go on take our most experienced defender ????
