in all honesty i would rather that we go for a WC CB rather than matic if mou persists with DL as a DM.

Persists? Didnt he play him there TWICE?

Schurrle also played as CF once or twice, does that mean that he "persists" in playing him there. So we dont need to buy a striker?

And there in lies the problem. Luiz isn't a midfielder and is terrible playing that position. a couple of long range goals and 1 successful forward/hollywood passes out of 10 attempted per game doesn't change a thing. And I won't even get into his positioning and discipline in that role. recruiting a top class CM or two is a MUST.

persists!!!! Yes cos he has started doin it right now and I would like it to continue. I don't see him using schurrle as a Cf any longer. Also schurrle as a Cf wae barely successful whereas DL as a DM is. There in lies your dofference.

mourinho and benitez beg to differ on DL's worth as a DM.

DL is only playing midfield...because Lamps is injured and Essien just not good enough anymore...

If Matic is available for 20 - 25 million, we should be doing everything possible to sign him.

Seems like De Bruyne's sale is going to fund this one. I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

Essien is finished, this seems like Lamps last season here, Mikel is somewhat one dimensional and Ramires is purely a B2B midfielder.

Out of all the CM's out there who would you guys most liken him to? I've been hearing Yaya, Javi Martinez, Busquets comparisons but he's taller than every single one of them and seems alot more fleet-footed than those three. His balance and dribbling ability for someone of his stature is amazing, like a midfield version of Ibra.

I despise twitter ITK's and transfer rumours in general because of the fact 90% of it is completely conjured up out of thin air but this man is usually pretty reliable. Seems Mou wants him.

EDIT: How do you embed tweets?

Don't think you can do that. Either have to take a screenshot or copy and paste the tweets into here.

Luiz in midfield is a stickly plaster option just like Essien in defence was, Rafa and Jose are only doing it due to lack off options.
If we sign Matic and MVG makes a return sooner rather than later the only way David is going back in the only pivot is if we have a stupid injury crisis.
