It’s quite telling that Lampard, who played in the same team as Luiz, has made it clear that he is surplus to requirements and can leave at a time when Chelsea can’t replace him ie he won’t be missed at all.

Personality clash ?

Yep.

He’ll fit right in at Arsenal, along with Woezil.
 
I think it's more he just realises that Luiz is **** mate.

He ain’t though. The deal suits us fine. He’s an upgrade on Kos who we got £5m for, so for £3m we replace him with a better CB with just as much experience as a stop gap until Saliba comes in next year.

Paulo Dybala is NOT going to join Tottenham. Meeting just finished and no agreement on image rights with Spurs. Juventus and player agents are convinced that ‘the deal is called OFF’.

The sale of Luiz might also be Lampard placating Zouma on not selling him to Everton coz he rates him and intends to give him his opportunity
 
Mate we’ve had Mustafi at the back. Anything is an improvement <laugh>

I always find it funny how everyone says that X player will be a liability, like they haven't seen us trying to defend over the years. We KNOW what bad defending looks like. We've shipped, 8, 6 and 5 and 4 goals in various games over the years repeatedly. It's not like it could get any worse.

Except he is.

As a centre half, he is.

Scores an occasional nice free kick though so you're obviously good to go.

I know mate. We’ve been specialists in liability defending for the last 4-5 years. The future of our CB pairing is Holding / Saliba, but Sokratis / Luiz is a decent pairing for the next year.

Sokriatis is a bit of a battering ram and Luiz is a ball playing CB. They should pair up well <ok>
