It's funny the things that make you dislike players, and shape your view of them. The thing that always defines David Luiz to me, was when he was playing for Chelsea and they played Brentford in an FA Cup game. Brentford were League 1, there was about 15 mins to go, Chelsea were 4-0 up and Luiz elbowed a 19 year old Brentford player in the face knocking him out. I've always just thought, what a nasty peice of work he was. Not saying there's a good time to elbow someone in the face, but it was so unnecessary, he clearly just wanetd to do that.

Seeing him cry in the World Cup after they got rumped by Germany was pretty funny.

Anyone else find it a bit surreal that a famous player like this would be a disappointing signing?
100% agree. Wouldn't want him anywhere our club. Is the first post on this thread a wind up or something? My Chelsea mate was laughing his head off when Luiz went to Arsenal and my Arsenal mate was very happy when Luiz stopped playing regularly.
I know what you mean but, no. I was a bit saddened when we signed Lallana, and largely uninterested when we signed Wellbeck.
Contrast that with the excitement when we signed Ali J

Ffswhy would we take a defender who cant defend. One of the most overrated players of our time. The world cup semi final summed it up perfectly.
Exactly. When he left Chelsea my Chelsea-supporting STH mate summed it up perfectly "It makes our defence better and makes Arsenal's worse. What's not to like?"
He's in the right age bracket for Palace:

I like David Luiz.
Good character and a decent bloke by all accounts and a much better player than he's given credit for in this country and on this thread. But he's not for us.

This, and there are all sorts of other reasons why he wouldn't be suitable for us too.
Unlike many others on here, l do rate him though, especially when he is going forward.

Well said, you just beat me to it.

I love this thread. I have been in hysterics reading some of the comments. Yes, he is half decent going forward, although he does nothing that Webster and Dunk can't do except for the occasional free kick. His defending is absolutely woeful though. A total bottle job who does his best to get out of the way of anyone running at him or any shot fired in his general direction.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
No thanks. Not what we need. If there's money to spend it needs to be on a striker.

Not sure he can become the 20 goal a season forward we need, so a no from me.

Well 20 goals a season obviously not, because he is a centre back first and foremost. Still capable of matching Dunky's 5 goals in a season though, so in a team with an absolute dearth of goals that could be an advantage.
That said though he isn't for us, would cost far too much wages wise, and at 34 he is can hardly be looked upon as a good bet for the future. It wouldn't put out a good sign to the youngsters coming through either.

OP here! Quite a mixed reaction, split almost down the middle in terms of who'd want him at the Albion. I'm on the fence myself.
