Jamie Carragher came out after the loss to Manchester City last night to claim that Arsenal do not want David Luiz, adding that he isn’t good enough.
The defender was at fault for both of the opening goals, as well as getting himself sent off after only 25 minutes on the pitch, but it isn’t only last night’s performance to go on.
Luiz has endured a torrid first campaign with Arsenal, and while he did make improvements initially under Arteta, he has reverted back to type last night, and you have little reason to be shocked by it.
Carragher for one is certainly not surprised by it, and calls for Arsenal to make the right decision in cutting ties with the Brazilian.
Does Luiz improve our starting XI? Is now the perfect time to cull the dead wood? Will Arteta really see a 33 year-old Luiz as a key player going into the new season?

I like Arteta and he clearly sees something about Luiz as a man. Whether there is any back room/ behind the scenes opening I don’t know but he certainly isn’t good enough to play for Arsenal
Agree wholeheartedly Sue.Luis comes across as a very decent,personable guy who has made a fortune out of football.However time catches up with all men and David Luis should no longer be employed by Arsenal in a playing capacity.
A bloody good question.
