There's a gag going viral on social media which shows various pictures of people going through a dustbin, captioned 'Paris St Germain officials looking for the receipt for David Luiz'.

The implication is clear - that Chelsea did a very astute piece of business relieving the French side of £50m for a player whose defensive qualities have always been questioned alongside his more obvious attacking talents.

This World Cup has done nothing to enhance the Brazilian star's reputation, and it got worse last night when he was part of a back four which shipped three goals to the Netherlands as the hosts lost their third place play off 3-0.

Pundit Martin O'Neill, the Republic of Ireland manager, laid into Luiz at half time, saying the defender displayed no defensive instincts whatsoever.

O'Neill highlighted the second Dutch goal, where rather than head a cross from the right out for a corner from under his own crossbar, he instead flicked the ball back to the penalty spot, where Danny Blind was waiting to blast it back into the top corner with interest.

Of the Brazilians who will remain at Stamford Bridge, Oscar's most significant contribution was being booked for diving, while Ramires was subbed on 73 minutes and Willian did not even make the bench on another night to forget for Brazil.
