If you’d asked me to pick a reliable, no frills, disciplined CB to settle our defence down, I would definitely have said David Luiz

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Cancelo to City is confirmed for £60m.
That’s £140m they’ve spent this summer. Guardiola was right, they def couldn’t afford Maguire![]()
Hopefully we can turf Mustafi but the fucker wants to stay and no one is interested anyway.![]()

An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

No issue with Luiz. He’s clearly a short term option as we can’t afford anyone younger and better for now.
I don’t think he’s any worse than what we currently have and in some ways he may even be better because he’s a ball playing CB, which fits into Emery’s style.
If the fee is reasonable then go for it.
With Tierney coming I guess that probably means Kola will be leaving, as Monreal will be one of the captains and only used as CB in a three, plus we just activated his one year extension. Although maybe Kola will go in January once Tierney is up to speed.
It’s all very much Emery’s team now - he has to make it count now.
Having Bellerin back and Tierney means our back 4 will be much better (and younger). It had been our problem for years and we have never fixed it properly. We need to build a team from the back and make sure we have a system for for the players we have.
David Luiz is a done deal according to some. Not the greatest or most reliable CBs but an upgrade on Mustafi and brings a calmness and experience. His range of passing is exceptional.
