Sold for 25 million plus Serbian midfielder, Matic. Benfica receive 3.5 million in objectives and a friendly match to be schedule in the summer at the Estadio da Luz. Like that part of the deal, get to see Luiz and Ramires. David Luiz: «Levo os adeptos e o clube no coração»
Huge blow to Benfica. I think he will do great at Chelsea. Just hope Terry doesn't negatively influence him
Nice to see David Luiz and Ramires on the same team. David Luiz will make Terry look like he should be retired! Forca David Luiz! Estamos contigo! David Luiz making 2 million per season at Chelsea. http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Nacional/1a_liga/Benfica/interior.aspx?content_id=682034
You realize this guy was overrated and overpriced...He's had one good season in a Benfica shirt, last year. He hasnt done well this year and was a big reason for the awful finish two years ago (he sucked at LB). I mean, like who you want, but let's not get things confused, he was an okay player for Benfica for a majority of his career at da Luz. http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/engla...is-the-five-steps-david-luiz-took-to-become-a ^ im glad im not the only one who sees it this way
From attacking midfielder, to defensive midfielder, to center-back to leftback and back to centerback, the David Luiz career. Interesting article. http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/85/e...is-the-five-steps-david-luiz-took-to-become-a
David Luiz was a beast. I wish Porto had picked him up. He had a lot of bad games but he is still young. Look at guys like Bruno Alves and Pepe. Took them a while to show their pedigree. I think he will do well at Chelsea. Maybe not make Terry retire but will be a great partner and learn a lot.
I agree with most of this, but, he never was that good. I wanted to like him, I remember him scoring against Porto years ago, one of his first games. But, I dont rate Luisao all that high, and are you to tell me David Luiz is that much better than Luisao? I guess i still have a bad taste in my mouth from all his dismal appearances at LB.
Good luck with Matic , he is a great young midfielder and he models himself on Patrick Viera. He really is a huge huge physical presence in midfield. I think he will do great with you guys , you always seem to nurture young talent in the best of ways. Ramires had a rocky start but has really come into his own now , a great player and I speak for all Chelsea fans that he really is becoming a fan favourite. Heres hoping to David Luiz reaching his potential with us , we really are excited to see this talent with us. Best of luck with the league.
^ Haha, do you guys know if Luiz speaks any English? Also, Terry usually plays LCB--same position Luiz did at Benfica--so I wonder if Luiz will play to Terry's right.
David Luiz has scored his first goal for Chelsea today against Manchestor United. Tied the game 1-1 and Lampard went on to make it 2-1. Chelsea win. http://videa.hu/videok/sport/chelsea-1-manchester-utd-JEz7S8d3ZjRUujvD
Posted this in the Former Benfica Players Thread. Why don't we keep all ex players together, or make a Simao, Ramires, Di Maria threads....
He had an absolute cracker of a game , caused Rooney problems all night and scored a spectacular goal as well. Ramires , once again was excellent.
Article on David Luiz, and how he has the potential to be the World's Best Defender. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ial-to-become-the-worlds-best-defender/page/1 David Luiz scored his 2nd goal for Chelsea this past weekend.
David Luiz said today that he would like to end his career at Benfica. http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/detalhe/noticias/sport/desporto/gostava-de-acabar-carreira-no-benfica

Barcelona interested in David Luiz for next season. Much rather see him at Barcelona than the crumbling Chelsea. The "Future Carlos Puyol". Must be the hair that attracts Barca lol http://abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=318693
Is this an early April fools joke? This guy is horrible for Chelsea and Brazil. Benfica made a great deal selling him to Chelsea.
Manchester City offer Chelsea 35 million pounds (44.1 million euros) for David Luiz! Thats a ridiculous amount of money. http://www.record.xl.pt/Futebol/Internacional/interior.aspx?content_id=771456
