THREE Reasons Why Chelsea Should Offload David Luiz Amidst Transfer Rumours

David Luiz is a player who has split opinions across the country since he arrived at Chelsea. Is he a defender? Is he a midfielder? Different managers have different ideas on how to use the Brazil international, but he is now being linked away from Stamford Bridge. Here are three reasons why getting rid of him this summer would be a good idea.

1) Liability

Luiz, for me, is a complete liability. When playing in defence he is constantly out of position and his tendency to roam up the pitch leaves the Blues exposed. When in midfield it is a similar situation, but he is rash in the challenge and is poor in his distribution.

For me, there are far better options available.

2) Current options

Chelsea signed Kurt Zouma in January and he will be arriving in the summer, so along with Gary Cahill and John Terry the central slots in defence are spoken for. Branislav Ivanovic can also play at centre-back.

In midfield John Obi Mikel is a more solid option than Luiz, and Frank Lampard, Ramires and Nemaja Matic are far superior in terms of ability.

3) Time to make space

There is nowhere for the Brazilian to fit in, in my eyes. For me it is time to get rid and open up spaces for players that are actually needed, and who could make a difference for the time. The Blues need a striker to score them to trophies and flogging Luiz would surely go some way to making that happen.
