- Luiz and Lampard never saw eye-to-eye while they were here as players
- Luiz expected to be a starter this season, Lampard had other plans
- He expected to start vs Salzburg at the weekend but didn't
- Lampard confronted him after the game about his performance but Luiz threw it back in his face
- Luiz has had a number of other fallouts with people at the club this week
There's probably more to it than that but the fact we seem comfortable with selling him for £8m (which is quite cheap for us, let's face it) suggests we desperately wanted rid.
He falls into the same category as Cahill for me. A good Chelsea player who won everything with us, even though neither were ever an integral part of the team.
Unfortuantely they let themselves down by leaving in ominous circumstances, Cahill leaking information to the press in an attempt to disgrace Sarri and Luiz forcing a move to Arsenal on deadline day because he was rightfully dropped.

Even better
Letting Cahill leave was the first step in fixing the dressing room. Now with Luiz gone, hopefully Willian and Alonso are next.
I really want to know exactly what happened now.
Christensen and Zouma. Rudiger likely coming in for Christensen after the first international break.
Perfect, cheers bud

Decide for yourself which is worse.
Me too, and that's definitely a bollocks story. Expect to see stuff like that everywhere if CAS do cut our ban short though.
Can't wait till they drop points against a Burnley or something. AFTV will be lit
Based on what exactly?
