I can confirm that I am extremely erect in regard of this story about a man i've never heard of turning down CL football with Liverpool to come and play for the biggest club in the world.

I hope he does the thing where he cuts inside and shoots, he'll fit in well with Young, Januzaj, Robben and Ronaldo.

This is the guy who's name translates to :420:, right?

Also, I reckon Luiz will do just fine in France and what does PSG care about money; it's probably above his value but it's two rich clubs, so that seems about right in these days of revelation. Repent.

Luiz is also 27, so his resale value will be pretty much nil.

Reminder that people were totally upset two weeks ago about the idea of Luke Shaw going for £30m.

27-31 is p much the sweet spot for a central defender.

Oh. You mean after that. Some club will be dumb enough to pay 10m when he's in his last year.

Obviously we're all just a bunch of plastic autists on the internet who don't know anything about football but I would love to understand the legitimate reason(s?) or scouting report as to why Luiz is so highly rated by the big European clubs.

I can see his athleticism and especially in the last couple of years, more versatility by playing DM, but his positioning and awareness is so horrible, I don't get why a top club would want to compromise with someone prone to completely zoning out in the area a team least can afford it. That he will become the most expensive defender of all time (granted, football is dead and PSG are eagerly violating its corpse with silly money) is almost comical.

I wonder if that scout guy on Twitter whose name I can't remember that euroboy has mentioned has said anything or rates him.

Luiz is a lot better than he gets credit for on TRP, but this is like twice what I would have considered to be the highest possible fee for Luiz.

I always thought with Luiz he'd be fine/good for say 10 games, then in the 11th he'd make a massive gently caress up because he'd go to sleep. Then he'd have another good run of form until the next gently caress up came along.

So yeah he's not worth £40M, but he's not as bad as some are making out.

Good for Chelsea tbh, I actually like Luiz as a player but he doesn't really strike me as a Mourinho type defender he's too much of a fancy dan. If it's really £40m or over then goongrats to Jose

Alveolar fibrosis don't give a damn.
Having Silva beside him to actually defend will do wonders for Luiz. In the world of silly football some £45 million for his services is sadly about right. He is globally recognizable and decent at his sport. PSG paid a Ferrari price for a BMW, the end purchase is still nice to drive, but everyone will snicker when they hear what you paid for your auto.

Luiz is a mediocre defender and doesn't offer all that much going forward, I don't understand this at all
