David Luiz is a Barca target?

[skippy]

Apparently Barca's number 1 target.....at least according to here.

Can't see him going anywhere myself.

[Amputechture]

Not this again.......

[Uno]

Just another recycled story. Must be a slow news day or something.

[ForeverCarefree]

Short of them offering us in the region of £30m + and Luiz handing in a transfer request to push through a deal there is no chance of this happening.

 

JT might be entering into his last season next year (who knows) and so I would be surprised to see us letting one of our younger centre backs leave. 

[Jezz]

The rumours of him going to Barca were mentioned in Janaury as well, so these rumours are not new. How true they are is another question in itself.

[BenR55]

Think hes happy here anyway from instagram photos he has close friends who play in London etc

recently signed a 5 yr deal... we bought him for 21m FFP now coming in I'd saying 35m+ 

[Blueblur]

He aint going no-where!

 

He loves London and Ramires and Oscar too much! Geeeeeezerss!

[Jonty]

Doubt theres much truth to this, although he certainly wouldn't be irreplaceable if he were to leave.

Debatable. Point me to a player who has as much passion for this club as him. Although I'm not sure how highly people rate that anymore.

4 years left on his contract and initially bought for £24m.

 

 

It would take a pretty huge offer for us to consider it.

Every player should be like that and there's a time when they were, right now it's difficult because of the totally uninspiring man leading them (FSW).

[Damnation]

Plus, if Martinez went for 40, Luiz shouldn't cost much less.. And he loves our club, no way he would leave, unless we forced him.

[evissy]

Luiz is not going anywhere. He gets the love here. I have admit though it would be easier for him to succeed in La Liga. Barca's centerbacks are as close to the opposite goal as the strikers.

[dwonder]

this s an old story not worth  mentioning again. I think we should  looking at 35m + Song or Mascherano if they even wants us to seat on a  negotiating table with them, we have no need to sell and i doubt that roman will sanction such  move partly because he loves the boy, the fans loved him for his display of passion for the club and also for the fact that David is a hugely influential figure in persuading our other brazillian targets to come to the bridge.

I'd rather just take 35m.

[icecoolguy22]

More like 35 Millions + the little fellow called Messi.

[big blue]

signed for 24m, 4 years left on contract and now brazil captain. we wiuld be mad to sell for under 40m.

[Zeta]

Doing better in dm we should keep him there get rid of obi amd buy another cb

[jack_super_class]

Why don't barca Just piss off, linked with him all the time.Dont sell him.

David spoke about Barca on Sky Sports, doesn't sound very committal to me.

Barca Champions League - Us Europa or worse maybe. And to be fair Luiz suits Barca and their style to a T.

[Ben]

If they offered us 5m or more than we payed for him I would let him go. He's not a CB for the prem, and not the midfielder we need. 

 

Would much rather take a punt on Okore & hope that Ake can make the grade. Challobah should be given the chance in CM next season.

rubbish. he is a mentally deficient footballer. barca players are based around tactical awareness

[bjd]

I would suggest if Barca offered us 30+ million for Luiz we'd be fools not to take it.

Sure this wont go down well with his fan club, and he's a decent player and a fun guy (some seem to think the latter is crucial) for sure, but with that money we could buy a proper defender who doesn't give heart attacks to everyone who watches him week in week out, and perhaps a promising young midfielder too.

He's very talented and got something going on, no doubt about it, and when we watch him play its like being on a rollercoaster - but is he learning and developing? I have my doubts and im not going to be fooled because he recently captained a very disinterested Brazil team.

If a good bid came in the needs of the squad should be balanced out against his possible exit and for me its a no brainer sadly.

If players don't want to be here 100% they can go no matter who they are.
