Gallas was their best defender when we got him

Maybe I’m naive but I think this will work out as intended

Absolute loose cannon but he’s pretty much the best CB to build from the back in the world

No he wasn’t. He was shunted from CB to LB and forced his way out since he wasn’t allowed to play in his favored position.

Why not, the ones proposed are not up to much, I hope he has a bloody good season, I am glad we got him, a marked improvment on the shite we have.


He has been here for only three days and already tried to educate Maitland-Niles. Lol.

Yup, I feel it too, like this move is a great fit. I am very optimistic about Luiz.

Let's hope his stay with us is fruitful and he stays injury free.

I'd argue that Luiz is the best player to play as a CB in the world even though he's only slightly better than Mustafi as a pure CB.

Weird.

Should use him as a DM with some freedom to venture forward, like Beckenbauer. He's plenty of talent with the ball to be tied down to one spot.

As an all round player? That's a pretty good shout tbh. Cant think of many more so well rounded.

Maybe wijnaldum (has basically been started in every outfield position in his career).
