David Luiz set to become world's most expensive defender

Oh the LB. I'd say, they have more pressing concerns in their CB department, and would need to have at least 1 good defender in there before they go for a LB.

Why? Terry & Cahill was the best CB pairing last season, Ivanovic can play there, too, so does Kalas. Plus, we bought young Frenchman Kurt Zouma in January. I wouldn't say no to a quality CB, but it's hardly a pressing issue.

Do you think Terry would last this coming season the way he did last season? I have my doubts over that. Cahill, for how good he is, is still a notch below the World Class level. Ivanovic can play at CB, but he your first choice RB. So you are essentially left with Cahill, Terry, Kalas and Zouma for CB. 1 CB on the wane, 2 youngsters. Don't think you can mount a title challenge with that.
 
£50m for David Luiz :lol:

Probably the most retarded transfer fee ever.

If they do sign Luis, Azpilicueta would move over to his natural position at RB, leaving Ivanovic able to move over to CB. I would say Luis, Azpilicueta, Kalas, Zouma, Terry, Ivanovic and Cahill is enough defensive depth.

It's not easy moving a player from one position to another, especially when he has been playing in the initial position for years now.
 
Literally all Fox Sports here in Australia has done every day for the last week is open a daily mail link. Re-report it as a fact. Embarrassing charlatans stealing a living as journalists.
 
PSG with 4 Brazilian CBs? Thats kinda weird.
That's what I was gonna say. Sign Dante and Miranda when you're up to it.

This wouldn't make any sense, he's not worth anywhere near that money, and they don't really even need him. But then again it wouldn't really be a surprise of any kind.
 
Oh how I want this to be true, even if they hand a bucket load of cash to Chelsea in the meantime. I just don't want us to sign him. Go on PSG, do your thing! :nervous:

PSG have much, much better defenders in Silva and Marquinhos though. Surely they won't play him at CB? Unless of course they are not convinced about making Marquinhos a starter just yet.
 
:lol:

PSG are out of their minds on this one. Luiz is probably worth £25m despite his comical defending, he is a good footballer, but £50m. Lolz, absolutely crazy. Mourinho and Chelsea are laughing all the way to the bank here.
 
Rumors that Marquinhos will leave if Luiz comes. Barca are interested in him.
Was just about to post that Di Marzio is saying that Barcelona are interested in him so that may open up a space for Luiz. Still, they'd be absolutely mad to pay so much for him.
 
Teams that play like Barca and Bayern can make someone like Pique look a world class defender. I'd stick Luiz in the same category.

He'll definitely be a more effective player in that sort of system and may even be seen as one of the best around for a short period - like Pique - but paying that kind of money for him? It's more than Thiago Silva cost at the same age, and he'd already shown himself to be a world class player in a variety of systems. David Luiz on the other hand has done stuff like this:

FFS, On what planet is Sideshow Bob worth £50million?! PSG need to feck off out of football.

And big non-PSG clubs should focus again on local home-grown youth because PSGs are not going to be fecked off anytime soon.
 
This is an astonishingly bad deal for PSG.
