John Giles has his say on Chelsea's baffling decision to bring back "terrible defender" David Luiz

Like many observers, John Giles is baffled by Chelsea's decision to bring the talented but error-prone defender David Luiz back to Stamford Bridge.

And it's even more eyebrow-raising when you consider that the impressive and demading Antonio Conte is the manager.

"I can't believe it. Cannot believe it," John said on Off The Ball.

"I think [Antonio] Conte is really good, really good. And you can judge a lot of managers by who they sign. Now, I have a suspicion it's not his signing. I cannot see a manager that looks so good and had Italy prepared so well and done what he's done in the game to bring him back. I mean he's a walking disaster.

"He left Chelsea and shortly after playing in the World Cup for Brazil. He's a disaster. When Mourinho was there, he had to play him in midfield. He had to get him out of defence. He's a terrible defender."
