Crazy money but a good deal for Chelsea if true.

Crazy money but a good deal for Chelsea if true.

Looks like most of it will be wasted spent on Diego Costa.

Seriously though? €50m for David Luiz? What is he exactly? A holding midfielder? He's not a centre half, and is not what I would consider a box to box midfielder. That seems a lot of money.

OK £40 mill is approx €48 mill, but yes, huge money and Chelsea would be well advised to take their arm off!

Always thought of him as a bit of a liability. Can be great at times but can do some crazy stuff too. Has a tendency to bomb forward forgetting about his defensive duties.

Yeah I agree. The man is like a headless chicken at times.
50 million is silly money for him,no way is he worth it.
Great bit of business from Chelsea, how much did they pay for him? 25mill was it.

Diego Costa would be a great signing in fairness. I don't think it be wasted money.

I feel sick. Getting Fabregas to replace possibly the greatest goalscoring midfielder the Premier League has ever seen. Diego Costa too. Chelsea could easily have won the league last season and will be favourites for 2014/15 no matter what.

And to put the tin hat on it, it wouldn't have been possible had Man Utd not bought Mata, thus giving Chelsea some FFP leeway. Welcome to the cheap seats (relatively speaking, of course).

Not sure if he will but if Chelsea get the Fabregas Arsenal had then great signing regardless and he is a wee shit

Luiz gone to PSG, 

"It's a big club with a great history. It's a new step in my life and I'm impatient to play for Paris and show what I can do."

A great history? Aberdeen or Nottingham Forest have a better history. I think he means great amount of money.

reportedly 40 million paid. Did they watch that game last night and see how bad he is?
