Luiz is a good player, but I cast massive doubts over this signing. I've watched a fair amount of him, he isn't the tallest, he isn't the most dominant and he's had a poor season this year. He's got good pace, good ability, but he isn't the type of 'rock' you want at the back. When we played Benfica last year, they played him at full back for one of the games instead of Coentrao IIRC, he was poor there. He's a good signing, a bit dear and I'm 50/50 on whether he's the type of defender that succeeds over here.

Alot of people say hes a Ricky C type of defender, ill take that.

Yes it does, but I'm glad Commoli and Kenny are trying to take the club forward and take no rubbish off the players.

Would have done or something similar.Give your view on the manic few days at your beloved club.

We didn't need to waste £35M on the women beater.

We should of just got a class defender and someone who can beat a man plus cross a ball.

Thats my view

Least they waited bit longer this time.

Still think they should of sent a mob round ala the mancs with Rooney

It's all a bit pathetic isn't it? These are professional footballers. Loyalty features pretty low on their priorities when there is massive money on the table. To be fair if I could leave my job tonight to take up a similar position in another company to double my money I'd be off in a shot.

Sad, but true. All this badge kissing, autobiographies and rah rah for the fans is laughable. Am I happy you just scored for my team etc...yes, but dont think I dont know you would be off like a shot if you got a better offer somewhere else.

Tottenham signing Rossi for £30m apparently.....I knew Harry couldn't let that cash burn a hole in his pocket....

Just because it was dropped doesn't mean it didn't happen..

Been in trouble few times already which isn't a good sign.

Plus hes injured.

Newcastle can't believe their luck.
