David Luiz back at Chelsea

Featured Replies

People laughed at us, people mocked us for bring David Luiz back, people clearly didn't watch him in his first seasons here either cause they act like he made mistakes every week. f**king loving that he's had the last laugh on those twats who said we were buying back a joke.

He still has the ocassional mistake in him, but as I said when we signed him, the good outweighs the bad imo. 

He brings leadership, grit, determination, experience, and his quality on the ball is world class for a centre back. 

It will be intesting to see if conte keeps faith with players like luiz, Cahill, moses etc. They may have not been the ideal players for him when he took over last summer, but they have ran through walls for him this season, which won't be lost on conte I'd imagine.

I agree with that and think he has a big heart in the right way. The only other thing I will add is that I read the Chelsea Management team said he was a good force in the dressing room. 

When he left in 2014 it was ingrained in my mind that he will never win the PL, even more so when we won it in the first year without him. For that reason it was actually quite surreal seeing him with the trophy.

I just hope he never cuts his hair in case he loses his powers like Samson!!

"Loud was the laughter that greeted the announcement Chelsea were to re-sign David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain for a sum estimated to be in the region of £34m last summer. With the benefit of a season’s worth of hindsight, only the most contrarian of his critics could argue the likeable Brazilian was anything other than a bargain. A defensive rock and natural leader who rarely put a foot wrong during Chelsea’s imperious title-winning campaign, David Luiz will forever be tainted by that semi-final humiliation at the 2014 World Cup, on an evening when the entire Brazil team had a collective meltdown and singling any one individual out for ridicule seemed rather unfair. With his distinctive hairstyle, he tends to stand out when he makes mistakes, allowing his detractors in the press box, TV studios and stadium stands to pounce on the increasingly rare occasions he gets things wrong. Their silence this season has spoken volumes. Nevertheless, despite all available evidence to the contrary, some still cling to the defeat against Germany in their efforts to argue the 30-year-old is a joke. While he prepares for the final assault on his fifth major honour across two short spells as a Chelsea player, one can’t help but wonder who’s laughing now?"

he's been rubbish and was lucky to be bailed out by cahill and azpilucueta

 

The man was a miracle worker. He made @g3.7 and @just agree on something.

 

Backed him to the hilt in his first stay here, sad that we sold him, glad about what he achieved this season. A combination of Luiz reigning in his impetuousness and Conte devising a system to mitigate his issues.

Luiz's best years are ahead of him, and I hope we get another two or three top years from him yet.

I am more than happy to admit I got this wrong, he has been superb since returning and has proven to be a leader which is something I never expected. He has still got a mistake in him, and still dive in when he shouldn't at times, but he is much more of a defender than he was previously, while still keeping the ball playing side of his game.

So dkw next mistake he makes you come out loud? emoji3.pngemoji6.png

Hell yes......

Ha ha no, because a mistake by him is now very rare where once it was pretty often.

 “And, if you want to know about the money, I cut my salary to come back here,” he said. “But it’s OK, God has given me a lot, so I’m happy with this. Did I come back different? Always the same question … I think I try to improve as a person, as a brother, as a son, as a friend every day."

Am i the only one who thinks Ake could do a job in the middle of a 3 if Luiz was out?

I think so. He's much more suited to playing in the middle there than Cahill. I think Christensen would be good there too so Ake can play on the left
