This is a disaster selling Luiz to them.. hes our best defender by a long shot and we sell him to our closest rival!? Cause let's be honest.. we arent challenging for the league. I really hope this is BS because we'll all find out by tomorrow but I have a horrible feeling this is true and then the disaster season will begin on sunday at United..

Chill Van Ban, disaster was getting relegated three times to division two, Southampton 'B' winning the Champions League or selling Peter Osgood - losing an erratic Center Back on the last day of the transfer window is just a minor inconvenience!!

I'm with npe in thinking hes better than Zouma I do however feel Rudi was better last year and more consistent. Which makes Luiz our 2nd best CB at 32 so you would be expecting one of the young promising CBs to usurp him down the road.

And really his best attribute was his mentality in the dressing room and supposed commitment to our club, which is now very much in question.

Holding is probably Arsenal's best CB. Mustafi makes Phil Jones look like Rio. Sokaris is a decent player but at what they're aiming for, he should be back up. Luiz will no doubt improve them.

For Chelsea, this may hurt now but I think long term it would be the correct decision. Cech left for Arsenal past his best and I think Luiz will decline or at least not hit the heights as consistently he has done in the past (despite the mistakes he has in him now and then). Zouma isn't great but I think him and Christensen make up for what the other lacks. And when Rudiger is back he'll replace one of them.

That's a fair analysis

I think he should be first choice for us currently with Rudiger out but Lamps is definitely more towards giving young promising players the minutes from what's been seen at Derby

Brummie encapsulated it in his post,I agree wholeheartedly with what he said.

Well done Frank,show 'em who's boss.

Not sure what this post is about. Rüdiger was not only our best cb by a mile last year, he was our best defender by a mile. Luiz was average last year

Is Holgate still an Everton player? We need to hold onto him if we can get a suitable replacement for Zouma.
Holgate is arguably better than some of the targets we're being linked to at the moment.

I'm still cracking up about the two Liverpool clowns who went to Ghent to watch them, when they were playing in Genk - over 90 miles away!

Haven't heard from Ronny van Ban.............in a while !
