I made a post in Mats Hummels thread concerning Luiz. I 100% believe he would fail as Defensive Midfielder but a Box To Box Midfielder is another. If RDM were able to convert him to a B2B he would almost be world class.He has all the attributes of a B2B, he can shoot, pass, dribble, run, has bags of energy and has the will and fighting spirit.

I see your a fan of the big physical and imposing CB. While I like my CBs to have the same qualities writing off someon like Howedes because he is a tad smaller is unfair. Ricardo Carvalho was only 183cm which is 4cm shorter than Howedes. Carvalho is one the best CBs I have ever had the pleasure to watch, brilliant. Nobody has mastered the art of fouling quite like Riccy. I also don't really agree with the Luiz and Hummels comparison. Yes Hummels much like Luiz is suspectable to the odd lapse in concentration and silly mistake but Hummels tends not to take it upon himself to do everythings like Luiz. Hummels doesn't charge up the midfield as often, try to Messi his way out of a bad situation or smash the ball upfield to the striker. Hummels isn't perfect but I'd take him over Luiz at the moment. Luiz has bags of potential though, he is almost a carbon of copy of Lucio. And that could very well be a great thing. Actually Luiz would make a terrile CDM however I believe he is more than capable of playing at Fullback or as a Box To Box Midfielder. I believe if RDM can convert Luiz into a B2B midfielder we would have an incredible midfield. What I said earlier about Luiz trying to do everything is perfect for a B2B midfielder, he can shoot, dribble, tackle, run, has bags of energy and is enthusiastic to boot. I'm surprised your not a fully capped member of the Luxembourg national team. They don't exactly have the comfort of choice. Matthias Ginter has been picking up quite a bit of hype recently. I'd sign him.

I minute I saw that Leeds had qualified into the next round I knew Chelsea would be playing them. I just knew it...it's written in the stars as it seems. Now I've less reason to hate Leeds than most of the UK members on here but I'm sure they would be more than happy for me to jump on the bandwagon. FUCK LEEDS SCUM

People are really overrating George Lucas. The guy is and always will be a lucky hack that had limited input in the creative process of all his films.

AMINI! A hopeful future Socceroo! That's what a real Aussie accent sounds like of course it's a tad different from mine but he is from a different part of Oz. My accent is thicker and twangier.

The Bundesliga isn't that far off from the BPL. I think people overrate the BPL in general. Things like "Brazilians can't survive in the physical BPL" really grate my nervs. The BPL isn't more 'physical' than any other league, it's has it's own style which is box to box action but to say it's more physical is weird.

I was joking, mate. I was parodying other people's unrealistic expectations. A bit of verbal irony if you will.

I didn't write that one but I did write this: Okay faggots you want to post outdated meme bullshit on my status go ahead. Just know that what comes around goes around and I will inflict pain or your loved ones. You pussies don't have the balls to walk up to my face and say this fuck-arse retarded memes you have to hide behind your computer and phone screens. I'll have you faggots know that I punched a guy once and I really hurt his jaw and I promise to Allah, Jesus, Buddah, Zeus and all the other cunt deities of all the cunt religions that I will do worse to you. Maybe I'll kick your dick, maybe I'll headbutt you Zidane style - I won't know this shit till the heat of the moment, till the exact second I see your fuck ugly faces. It's too late to apologise, the writing is on the wall and my wrath is burning with the heat of one million microwaved instant macaronis. The joy I will get from face fucking you with my left fist is only equal to the joy I get from cumming inside of the Queen of England every second Saturday, that's right fudge packers the fucking Queen of the fucking Commonwealth flies me over to Engalnd every second Saturday so I can blow my man seed into her pussy. What the fuck do you do every second Saturday? I bet you cunts sit around with your hands on your cocks wondering what royal pussy feels like. I'll tell you what it feels like, it feels like your dick is being sucked by a diamond encrusted fleshlight that's been modeled on Sasha Grey's twat. I'm coming for you and I will end your pitiful existence, just ask they guy I punched in the jaw - oh wait you can't! He is dead because I punched his jaw so hard! HA HA HA HA HA! You fucks have opened a can of repressed hatred and anger that can only be subsided by the spilling on innoecent blood. Congratulations, faggots.

Some of the bastards talk some sense though. This quote really stood out for me:

Nonsense he is clearing scratching his armpits. What if he is a disabled man that can only hold his arms in that position? FAKTS we don't know them, as RAFA says you need all the FAKTS to know all the FAKTS.

For a second there I thought it was a link to redtube.

You feel like punching me in the face don't you? bring it on you faggot. I know multiple fighting styles, and I also carry a switchblade with me at all times. Something fucking tells me that you'd be better off keeping your arms down at your sides. If you can't fucking put "cause" and "effect" together in that pathetic brain of yours, I'll help you out here. You'll be standing face to face with me, and let me fucking tell you, it'll already be too fucking late to back down at that point. You might decide "well shit, I might as well stay true to my word and throw a fucking punch". This is where you will go wrong. I hope you don't have a job that requires two fucking hands, because you're going to be missing one after I'm done with you. I'll casually divert your fist off to the side, as you suddenly realize you may have gotten yourself into something you can't back up. You'll try to regroup and pull your arm back, but that wont be easy when I jab my spear-pointed Benchmade switchblade straight through the bone in your forearm, and proceed to rip your entire fucking forearm and hand off in one quick pull. At this point, you'll probably spend 2 seconds in shock. I say 2 seconds, because thats the amount of time you'll have before I reverse the knife in my hand, and uppercut it straight through your throat. You'll spend your last few seconds gurgling blood, and wondering where you went wrong. After that, I'll be forced to take care of any witnesses who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing a few quick choke slams can't fix, followed by a nice gentle slice across the jugular with the Benchmade. Now, motherfucker, you sure you want to go through with that punch?

He sure did rape buttner.

I attribute the belief to the Champions League and FA Cup wins. All the players have to do is look back on those nights and remember that anything is possible.

Scored only one goal. Pathetic, Liverpool player.

A straight red gives a three game suspension, right? Besides I much prefer Azpilicueta to Ivanovic.

I fully agree. The boys are scoring goals from all over the park so a striker isn't needed per sey but it would be a nice luxury. If the defence can be fixed and brought back to the standards of the Mourinho era, there is nothing stopping Chelsea winning the BPL. Howedes Hummels Subotic Papadopoulos Are a few that I'd like to see here. Coincidentally they all play in the Bundesliga. Another point I'd like to make is that a lot of modern CBs tend to be in the David Luiz mold. As in they believe they can do everything all the time, the get carried away and do silly things. Mamadou Sakho one who is similar to Luiz.

They play very nice football so I believe this will be a cracker. 3-1 to Chelsea. Chelsea goals from Mata, Azpilicueta and Oscar Swansea goals from Danny Graham.

I'm not sure if you'll agree with me but when Moses is playing the team just seems to flow a lot more smoothly. Moses is a natural wide outlet for the team, much like Antonio Valencia is for ManUtd. Dragging fullbacks outwide, running behind fullbacks, crossing the ball, harassing fullbacks with aggressive pressing are just a few of the tactical options Moses brings to the team. He isn't the most productive playing terms of assists and goals but he does bring attributes that Hazard, Mata and Oscar lack. With HMO essentially three 10s are playing and while they are completely different players in terms of style and ability they are in the same 'mold'. With Moses two 10s and one winger is played giving slightly more variety to the attack. Moses is quite an interesting player, I don't believe he is capable of playing through the middle like Hazard, Mata and Oscar but he seems to be able to play with ease on both wings which is boon for tactical sake. But including Moses into the starting XI raises a dilemma: who is dropped? I can't in all honestly create any reasons why Hazard, Mata or Oscar should be dropped, it's just not in the realm of sanity. I'd try to elaborate my points further but my right hand is really starting to cramp.

I'd reckon they'd both cost over £30 million. Both great players but are they really woth the outlay? I'm not even sure Chelsea should be paying that much for a new Striker.

Yeah nah it's alright eh, mate? I'll tell ya what mate if ya ken av a full on stralian convo with me, I'll agree that yer alright, eh? An if ya ken scull a whole bottle of piss in one go, I'll havta shake ya hand, mate.

Both. They'd make one of the best CB duo in the world.

Gratuitous swearing.

You've my word but only when my right arm heals. It's quite awkward using only the left. And don't think that, I know what's going through your mind, buddy.

They're just premier league stats. I can add the other stats if you like.
