Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2019 That one came out of nowhere. Heard he didnt attend training and that was to force the move. Total shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yeah reports are that he’s forcing it. What the actual fuck? Even now one of our better correspondents is saying he’s pushing for the move. He signed a new deal a month ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I have no idea what this news means other than PANIC from Arsenal due to their defensive problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea can’t sign this window and that would be a massive blow even if I don’t particularly rate him at all as a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 On the one hand I don't think Luiz is that great of a defender, so I don't know if that addresses Arsenal's defensive issues. On the other hand, I think he'd probably be Arsenal's best defender so it addresses the issues a bit I suppose. Weird that he'd force it though.

Redcanuck Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 This is certainly a strange turn of events. Good think they didn't let Zouma go back to Everton, I guess Zouma will be the main beneficiary of this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2019 So weird. I'm not sure he's really the sort they needed and I'm not sure Arsenal's the club he needs either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hmm didn't realise he is 32, it's weird because he only just signed a new deal and could've been had on a free if I'm not mistaken. Anything over £15m would be a mistake for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Got to say that's a surprise... never saw that coming, don't know what to make of that.. I know some are saying he is forcing a move but it's just possible that Lampard might be the one pushing for this... It does not sound like he was being difficult but maybe not being part of the main group was due to him potentially moving on.. something they obviously knew about in advance of the rest of us.. Luiz, who is is under contract until 2021, did not take part in first-team training with Chelsea on Wednesday. The 32-year-old was present at their Cobham base and did not refuse to do anything - but was not involved with the main group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 David Luiz is a player who you rate very highly one minute, like very highly, then next he can leave you scratching your head and seriously wondering why you thought so highly of him beforehand. This description of him would suggest maybe he was inconsistent but he's not really inconsistent either. He's a very hard one to judge and divides opinion among Chelsea fans. Everyone loves his character but his playing ability has always divided opinion, some love him, some are less keen. I've always defended him and been a fan, I'm not saying he's a top, top player but I think he's decent. My evaluation of him is that he's a good player / defender but not in that top league. Anyway, it's sad to hear what's supposedly happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Lampard made it clear in his initial presser that he wants nothing to do with players at the club that aren’t committed. Sad it has to end this way, but I can see Lampard urging the club to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Maybe his relaxed and jovial personality irks Lampard with the amount if young players in the team. Kind of like how Alves didn’ fit in at Juventus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
