Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Footy-Vill]

Gary Cahill on a 12 month deal as backup for Konsa worth a look?

The solution to the centre back , free kicks and defensive midfield people all banging on about  all rolled into one.
David Luiz as a statement signing.
He's a very Dean Smith type player.

And with Luiz you would have the versatility , quality ,experience and a great off field person who is a committed Christian.
Culturally as a player some here in UK misunderstood him but I think Dean Smith and JT could do worse than bringing him in on a free because at the end of the day he's a quality footballer and one of the best direct free kick takers I've ever seen in recent times. Certainly the best centre back one!

In what way in this whole entire universe is David Luiz a Dean Smith type player?! In any case, he's 34, way past his best, and if he's not going to get into the Arsenal side he sure as hell isn't getting into ours.

Well he's a ball playing centre back and can step out into midfield . Also he plays a defensive midfield role with an attitude to keep hold of possession and plays excellent passing.  If we are looking to control games he can play pivot or he can when we see out games drop into defence as insurance. I don't see why he couldn't be considered.
Fits remit of premier league experience
Listed the reasons. Why he's a great option.
And anyhow people reference Cahill who is 35!

Also to add further reasons as well as versatility and free kick ability he can help Wesley recovery by nurturing him with his mother tounge. A native speaker around Wesley who is older and wiser with gold moral values would do wonders for Wesley
And of course he's been an experienced winner at club level so has the right mentality to pass on experience to existing defenders and Douglas too in regards to mother tounge

He's also on wages that would make him one of our top paid players

I think he's technically not on any wages at the moment.

yes, fair comment, but he was listed as on £120k p/w at Arsenal. I seem to remember stories that him refusing to lower his wages was behind him not extending his contract there.

But he can't defend...

And he has great hair..

In a sideshow bob kind of way

He’s a fucking accident waiting to happen in every game. I would hope anyone who ever advocates for David Luiz never, ever has a bad word to say about Tyrone Mings and his occasional concentration lapses.

Yes That's a very balance perspective of  the Champions League ,  Premier league, Europa League  and multi fa cup winner David Luiz.
Not to mention what he won with Benfica and PSG clearly hes not appreciated by you then !

Furthermore signing a player who has played high end matches and won things is only a decent acquisitions in my scouting book to add to the quality we have.
Too easy to look at people's faults many good things about him his record and clubs he's played for showed that.
A Brazilian international of some repute but not Thiago Silva granted still he's the calibre of player that enhances things around the club.
Need more winners around the place. Ash Young already showing his class yesterday way he was encouraging and supporting players and that's just on the pitch.
A lot can be said for an experienced player or two.

David Luiz? Jesus Christmas.

[yammers]

Confirmed that Smith-Rowe has signed his contract extension and been given the number 10 shirt so that’s definitely the end of that one!!!

[DrGonzo]

Didn't work out for Arsenal like that, did it?  He's been passed it for 3 or 4 years and wouldn't add anything that Ashley Young hasn't already given us. 

[Footy-Vill]

David Luiz? Jesus Christmas.

Well we all have varying opinions I was putting up reasoning after seeing Cahill suggested.
Just feel Luiz ticks a lot of boxes posters here have been requesting .

Pfft. Everybody knows they only do these things to bump up the transfer fee.

They're probably all 'back 3' merchants. Don't listen to them.

'Arsenal out of the race for Bailey because of attitude problems'.

'Arsenal out of the race for Bailey because of attitude problems'.

They clearly do have attitude problems, the rancid self-entitled Tarquins.

It has always amused me that the name 'Tarquin' became popular enough among those frilly-brained north London bourgeois types to become something of a meme, when it's most notably the name of history's most famous rapist.

I always thought it was the name of an otter.

I thought it was a guy who blew up planets with a Death Star.

[Singapore Villa]

Am I hallucinating or has someone really suggested David Luiz?

Words fail me….

[ExclDawg]

'Arsenal out of the race for Bailey because of attitude problems'. Read 'Arsenal can't compete with Villa'.

Attitude problems, as in their team is in a nosedive?
