Unai Emery said: "David has huge experience and I look forward to working with him again. He is a well known player and adds to our defensive strength."

Unfortunate that we lost such an incredible defender. I say incredible cos he gave us a different dimension in defence with his play out from the back, probably being the best at it in the world.... I for one am upset that we lost such an experienced defender. But I guess he deserves the move as he isnt a defender that should have to be bench. At least now, we have more of a general idea of who our defenders are. Zouma and Rudiger pair is almost certain with Christensen rotating in. Tomori 4th option....

this is from Chelsea fan. I believe, there will be some moment in professional career when you have to change the clubs and sometimes you have to join your rivals. But in case of David, I think he will play some more years as professional footballer, he is at stage where he can help Chelsea youngsters, help Chelsea when they have transfer ban, we want him now anymore then in his life but our amigo decided to leave Chelsea and now Chelsea fans will not love him any more while it will take some time for him to become Legend in Arsenal. So what I conclude about this move is that he may made his personal life easier but he will never get same kind of respect which Lampard or drogba get. All the best David for your future but as Chelsea fan I will be still mad on you.

Luiz is a betrayal.. a traitor to have embraced the Glory of STAMFORD Bridge π... U left a Champion to play for a club that can not won any π ... Ur transfer to a rival club at this point of time that Chelsea is serving ban..is the worst I have ever seen in the world of football.. I love Chelsea..was born to be a BLUE'S.. Not even turning ur back against us at the toughest time "will make a true fan of CFC to turn to u... Even God is a God of the blue's.. bcus sky is always blue not Red.. the photo down says it all.. Sky is our limit and starting point.. Let see where and how Arsenal finishes up this season.. I β€ CFC.

The lineup should consist only players that are fit to start the season.
