Qwiss On the pitch his performances are up for debate but you mainly heard positive things about his influence off the pitch, especially for the younger players.
Here Saka talks about him
JazzG I had a lot of time for David Luiz. Liked him. It was all the other defenders around him that I couldn’t wait to be rid off. He had lots of great tools. Speed was his one miss, but otherwise quality.
JazzG There were loads of reports about David Luiz undermining Unai as well. Always seemed extremely toxic to me. He'd be shit, be a fucker behind the scenes then come out and make public statements about taking responsibility, etc Always came across as very fake to me. Also one of the most cynical players I've seen play for us. Its no coincidence things started improving after he went.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is punching the air right now.

Saka going to be making some serious bucks with that spicy sponsorship
Just when we thought Emile's Nando's addiction was under control 🥹

I was a fan of David Luiz, was error prone but don’t think we would have won the FA Cup without him. Proper big game player.

I used to dislike David Luiz, but this changed my whole perception of him.
😆
I liked Luiz, I think he’s one of those who’s great if he’s fighting for you but a nightmare if he’s against you. Overall, you’re better off without those sorts of characters.
TBH, i never had much time for Luiz. I thought he was error prone, and with the system and the players we had, he was the wrong player at the wrong time.
He was always a player who lacked a good understanding of the game but he got away with it when he was young cos he was quick. That was gone before he arrived here. Was generally very poor for us. His passing was overrated too. As soon as Arteta replaced him with White we went up a level.
Qwiss yep. Ball-playing centre back my arse.
He couldn't build play whatsoever with short/medium passing between the lines. The occasional successful Hollywood long ball came off, but Mustafi had a handful of successes there too.
Of the signings we've made from Chelsea he managed to lower the bar even further than thought possible. A player you dream of seeing in the opposition defence. Don't think I've ever disliked an Arsenal player more.
JazzG big Dave stopped to let me cross the road outside the Stadium that afternoon, gave him a courtesy thank you wave before I did a double take and realised who it was. He was laughing his head off and waving at us. I didn't even look to see who was in the car with him.
Tom Hiddlestone is such a fantastic story teller.
Qwiss I just think it is very disappointing he shaved his tash and pony tail off, just doesn't look right to me.
JazzG he looks like cartoon character now.
The state of things when someone working for Arsenal recognises Tom Hiddlestone over David Seaman...
Don Pacifico This wouldn't be an issue if he had kept his tash and ponytail.
