David Luiz in his press conference: "Barcelona sent Alves and Neymar to convince me to join them, but I was clear to them. I wanted Chelsea." "If Chelsea prevented me from leaving? Barça made an official offer, I confirm. But I wanted Chelsea. It's a personal decision." So much him wanting to leave then? I'm sure UEFA will intervene and punish their darling club though..
Like you lot want proof with every Chelsea story all its not true.... Yet you post Man United gossip as facts without proof Your delusional if you believe Chelsea don't do it because its quite obvious it happens. Bet most players keep quiet about it but Luiz wanted to make a point about it to show he is loyal to the club and wanted to stay, Alves and Neymar wont be happy now.
Can't see too much wrong with Neymar and Alves talking to Luiz, it just seems logical to me, and I'm sure it happens in all clubs. What is nice is Davids' telling the world he wants to stay at Chelsea. The boy has class, and I love his attitude. I'm sure he'll develop under Jose and become an immense player on the world stage, and for Chelsea.
I would be very surprised if every club didnt do this to be honest. As much as Reddevil is a bell end, I have to agree with him. I doubt it was an official approach, more like 2 guys from his national team bigging up their club, maybe after a quiet word with their club manager. I am sure Lampard and Terry did the same thing to Gerrard back in 06, before the Dipper "Faithful" threatened their captain with the death of his family.
David Luiz: "There was an official offer [from Barcelona], but I decided to stay at Chelsea," Luiz told Gazeta Esportiva. "I am happy to play for a big club and be in the national team to represent my country." We keep our best players, even more so than United. Was Robben the last player we lost who we wanted to keep?
