The thing is though, if he wasn't a good CB, teams like Barcelona and PSG wouldn't be trying to buy him... TO PLAY CB.
No, that isn't the thing. Barcelona are after him because he's a defender who possesses excellent ball skills and a robust passing range.
He's a very good player, but he isn't a pure defender like Mourinho typically fancies, and he really isn't a great centre-half.

We can agree to disagree then.
If he were a better DM than he is a CB, then that is where he would be playing. Now, if we got a CB or 2 to replace DL in the defense then sure we could experiment with him more in the midfield, but right now he is our best CB and his midfield experiment had mixed results.

This is what I think too. Luiz is a very likeable player, but he's far too inconsistent to be considered a great CB. I do think that he has the potential to be great, but he's not there yet. Barca and PSG may want him based on his potential, but I doubt they're trying to take him based on his current ability.
