Atlas Lion

Has potential 'captain' character in him. I feel many people around the globe don't rate his as high down to the fact that they are influenced by the mainstream media in which they base their judgment. Plus Gary Neville's comments a couple years back which he later retracted yet many still deem Luiz as an 'average' defender when infact he has been our best defender last season and is a better footballer than any other centre back in the world. Anything under 40mill, Forget it. Anything associating with Barca in regards to selling our potential players, IE, Mata, Courtois, Luiz, should not even be considered.

Rooney really isn't a necessity and anything higher than 30mill we should back down imo. Mourinho has proved that he doesn't need a prolific goal scorer to win titles and our 05/06 back to back titles proves this. A stabilized back line, a consistent midfield, and rotation between the strikers can fundamentally bring this club to more domestic success. Mourinho's first task before the season must instill a winning mentality and confidence in the players, and it is already showing by our friendlies performances.

-----------Lukaku------------- Hazard---Mata---DeBryune -----Oscar-----Ramires----- Cole------------------Ivanovic ---------Terry--Luiz------------ --------------Cech--------------- Think this would be our strongest lineup imo

Supports Madrid and Chelsea?
