Heartbroken that Chelsea have sold David Luiz. He has been our best defender since he arrived until the day he left. It was hard when we sold him to PSG a few years ago (for great money which eased the pain) but when he came back I thought David Luiz would play out the end of his (top level footie) career here. This sucks.
Update: Oh my god! Only £8million! I thought it was £20 million which I could at least understand for an older player. What a punch to the gut.
What a steal for Arsenal. Brilliant footballer.
This was a nice cherry on top of our sundae. What a transfer window we are having this year.
And to think, the media reported we only had about £45 million to spend, and we landed two very promising young talent, Dani Ceballos, Keiran Tierney, Nicolas Pepe and David Luis. Excellent deal of business by the new board.
Wow how much did you guys spend for them? What a great transfer window for you guys.
From the top of my head, these were the reported fees.
Gabriel Martinelli - £7 million
William Saliba - £27 million
Dani Ceballos - season long loan, £15 million fee
Nicolas Pepe - £75 million
Keiran Tierney - £25 million
David Luis - £8 million
Most of those fees are structured deals, as they will be paid in installments, with big up front money. I think that's why we were able to strike deals despite a reported £45 million budget.
