Transfers and Rumours - old thread

Dont base his performance on the confederation cup for once.

Here is what many people dislike about Luiz:

- He tends to leave his defence sometimes for no reason. So, yeah, sometimes he scores long shots, but when he fails, the counterattacks are destructives because he just forgot he's a CB.

- He does many tackles that are not needed. It's his temper, it's like that and apparently he doesn't want to change. Problem is, when the referee is meticulous if not a pri**, then he eats cards.

- Somtiemes it's like he's out of the match, completely absent. Those "blank" periods can be fatal to the defence.

It's not for nothing that some journalists call him crazy. It's his style, and when you play with him, you have to be prepared because he can do great, or completely mess up.

That's why many people think he should play middlefielder, and not CB.

Hope it's more clear now. It's not that people hate him. But he needs to improve. To improve his temper in particular and learn to stay in the back when he plays CB. But so far, he doesn't make great progress.

I've been watching him for over 2 years now. Probably does have to control his temper and concentration (and the will to go forward too much), but I like his drive.

Well, i guess he could learn many things from Puyol, maybe

Luiz is still Young, he can make progress. Maybe he needs a figure (puyol) that will show him the light.

We've been linked with a 19 year old Uruguayan AM named Giorgian de Arrascaeta, anyone have any info on him?

Apparently he's not bad, played with the team that knocked Spain out of the U20 World Cup.

Like ebieymjunior said, not a bad player at all from what i saw from him (not much though)

 

[Zincubus]

huh? do you think luiz is an good option?? he looked decent at the confeds coz he had thiagosilva beside him... he's much like pique otherwise. he's a funny guy not a true leader. maybe i'm wrong though

He's really quite young though . Imagine what he will be like after a bit of playing /training time with Puyol !

He's loved by the Chelsea fans which says a lot in my view .

 

[Zincubus]

Jesus Christ, people, don't be naïve. Chelsea are not selling.

Let's try to focus on clubs that actually need money and therefore are willing to sell, shall we?

It's been reported loads of times since Jose went to Chelsea that he doesn't rate Luiz or Mata .

Cant believe everyone making PUYOL as if he is GOD OF DEFENSE. In my opinion puyol himself is just above average but the difference is that when he plays he plays with his heart throwing everthing on the line.

You've just got to love Luiz.

Are you a Barca fan ??

Puyol has been a fantastic player. , underrated if anything in my view .

I love him when he plays against Rooney and bullies him all over the park

Never said he was a god.

I meant that he's experienced. You can't have his record and be just average. But even if we imagine that's he's not among the best, he has that "experience" that he can share with Young crazy defenders like Luiz. That can only make players like Luiz improve.

Puyol just above average...give your head a shake
