Italian source Mercato365 are reporting that Man City are ready to make a move for Chelsea defender David Luiz as Roberto Mancini looks to beef up his Etihad Stadium sideâs defence. It seems that Mancini is very keen to start his summer spending even though he clearly possesses a strong squad. However he doesnât have all that many central defensive options in his current Man City squad so perhaps a move for a new centre-back is a necessity though forking out £35m for a player who would presumably struggle to break the pairing of Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott, who last term formed perhaps the most reliable partnership in the Premier League. Chelsea have done a fair amount of spending themselves this summer and it seems highly unlikely that Blues owner Roman Abramovich would consider selling Luiz to a Premier League rival, that said £35m is a fairly hefty offer and far in excess of the £21m the West London club pair Benfica for the Brazilian 18 months ago. 25 year old Luiz has become something of a fanâs favourite at Stamford Bridge, with the amiable defender always playing with a smile on his face and being one of the playerâs who helped drive Chelsea to a Champions League triumph last term. Luiz has notched up 53 appearances since signing for Chelsea in January 2011, securing FA Cup and Champions League winners medals along the Me thinks they can fug right orf......
How do you get that from a rumour started by an unreliable source HIAG Difference between us and goons is we win trophies.
I'm sure Mancini would like David Luiz, he knows what a good player he is . However, we didn't set up a CL winning defence of Luiz and Cahill to break it up for Mancini. Luiz and Cahill will be our central pairing into the future, as Terry fades out , and along with Bertrand and Ivan ,will be a key part of our new, young exciting team which will emerge this season and thrive next season and beyond.Looks like the rumours about Ashley Cole have some substance, so he may not extend. Way too early to say, but wouldn't be suprised if he and Lamps have their swan song season with us this year.
Hope this doesn't happen, always looked like a quality player with a few defects to me, but seems like he's ironed some of them out, only going to get better and fits really well into style that Chelsea seem to be buying for. Good point that he won't probably get enough playing time at City either....but much of a worry is FFP going to be for Chelsea after spending so much?
