David Luiz

[Furious]

We've signed a better player than our initial target Upamecano, lovely stuff.

Now if only we had the time to make a Saliba like deal for Upamecano, that'd be even lovelier.

Can't believe Chelsea fans thought they'd get around 30M

Welcome back! Hand me some of that Jamaican pot.

I thought we’d have to pay £15m and then went off the deal when some gimp from the Guardian said it would be £20m. £8m is outrageous.

That tweet about Fat Frank insinuating “if you don’t want to stay, get out” is brilliant.

Basically tanking his value when you can’t even buy a replacement.

Me too, we got near that for an older half broken Koscielny.

When a fees that little, even if this guys f*cking **** you don't really lose out on much. 2 years is nothing and neither is 8M. Great business.

Brazilian by nationality AND Portuguese speaker.

Yes? But you said 'Brazilian and Portuguese' like they're 2 different languages.

Ornstien retweeted a journo who also claimed Coutniho was offered again but AFC uninterested now. Bizzare!

Off-topic: @mods any reason (besides my low standard of posting), that I'm unable to open threads on AM?

As others have been stating his ball playing ability is also a huge upside to the signing, maybe this will prevent Xhaka from having to come back to receive the ball and stop him from having to turn each time to play it and getting closed down.

This might allow us to stretch the play from the back against these wannabe bullies we have struggled against recently when they bully the middle.

Keeping the proletariat under their heel.

A huge upgrade to Kolscielny to say the least. Someone we can actually rely on to deliver us the Europa league this time!

 

[tap-in]

Just realised, Luiz has won more trophies than the rest of the team combined. At least now its not just Emery who knows what its like to win!

Worryingly the Chelsea fans don't seem bothered in the slightest on one of their forums I ducked into.

'No great loss' 'Won't miss him at all' '4th choice central defender who wouldn't play much' etc.

 

[Underhill]

For a guy who "wouldn't play much" he sure played a ****load of games last season.

Most of what i've seen has been them being massively bothered by it. Think what you've seen is just a bit of a defence mechanism kicking in.

Best part about this is we could potentially sell him to China next summer and make a slight profit.

This is really shrewd business.

 

[Trilly]

Thought it’d be £20m.

£8m is nothing and leads me to believe we will go back in for Upmecano next summer. This is a stop gap.

Don’t worry Trev, we’ll get big Dayot for you lad. I’m already hearing whispers we’ll agree on a transfer during the season.

No, it was misunderstanding. Anyway, will come in handy for his young compatriot.
