Talk:David Luiz

Move to Chelsea
Some edits have been made suggesting that David Luiz has already moved to Chelsea; a check of various sources would suggest this is not yet the case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basalisk (talk • contribs) 10:38, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Currency should remain Euros
We should stick to Euros as this was the currency that the deal was done in, as far as I can make out. These deals are usually not money up front, so we can't assume that by using current exchange rate we are getting the correct figure. We also can't assume that Chelsea are converting the money into Sterling. Companies often keep reserves of foreign currencies.Mattun0211 (talk) 07:36, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * ESPN, Sky Sports and BBC all refer to the announcement of Benfica (via CMVM) so Euro is the sole one which could be verified. Matthew_hk   t  c  14:02, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

David Luiz are his prenomes
David Luiz are his prenomes, so he should be ordered under D. Andres (talk) 07:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It is fun for Brazilian, Luís Fabiano is his given name but his shirt name sometimes is L.Fabiano But David Luiz known always as David Luiz on his shirt. Matthew_hk   t  c  14:11, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * And Chelseafc.com refer him as Luiz. Matthew_hk   t  c  19:31, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Well the editors of that website are obviously just as ignorant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.168.96.241 (talk) 22:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Player position
Please stop writing he is a right-back, he is not (left or central), please respect other people's work. Javier Farinós, Paulo Sousa and others that do not come to mind now have played as goalkeepers in a given match, does that qualify?

Attentively - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:45, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

He played right-back for Chelsea for the last 25 minutes against Fulham, which makes him capable of playing there if required. I wont bother changing again as you will just revert it, just felt that needed mentioning to you. ^_^ XTomScottx (talk) 15:28, 27 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Please read above TOM, please. Those two midfielders played between the posts in one game, and that does not qualify, no one will go and say: "Well there go some two fine goalkeepers". Luiz played RB for 25, same reasoning my friend. - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 23:26, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * yes, a usual position is at least played 1 or more seasons. Matthew_hk   t  c  16:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Chelsea have confirmed a £50 million transfer with Paris Saint-Germain for David Luiz on 23/5/14

 * Sky Sports is reporting it: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9323782/transfer-news-chelsea-and-psg-agree-terms-on-50m-transfer-of-david-luiz —C.Fred (talk) 03:53, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * We can mention the transfer agreement, but not change his current club. Per article: "PSG have confirmed that the deal will go through on 10 June". Mosmof (talk) 05:15, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Edit request
Please undo this edit. David Luiz has not joined PSG yet - only the agreement is in place and the deal won't be completed until the start of the transfer window. Mosmof (talk) 14:18, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Sale price
Was Luiz sold for £40 Million or £50 Million as this page says both at different parts could someone correct it and remove the incorrect one. Lukejordan02 (talk) 16:24, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

PSG transfer fee
PSG never paid 62 ME for David Luiz but 49,5 ME (40 M£) as reported on the BBC website and on several French medias  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.164.175.34 (talk) 15:26, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Comments on proposed section?
Dear all,

A user named Ross Butsy deleted this content but what do you think about this, considering that Luiz was ranked as one of the best centre backs in the world at one point by FIFA?

Lauded in his prime as one of the best defenders in the world,  Luiz is noted for his strong presence on the pitch as well as his specialty in taking free-kicks.

Sincerely, Scientelensia (talk) 19:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I didn’t start this did. And for the record I agree with him. RossButsy (talk) 19:47, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, why? Scientelensia (talk) 20:11, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * cause he wasnt even that great, even in his prime, and that sentence makes it seem like he was some superstar. --FMSky (talk) 14:54, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Adapt the sentence then, don’t remove it. Also I see where you are coming from but again that is an opinion. Please by all means change the wording. Thanks, Scientelensia (talk) 15:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
