The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Not trying to read too much into this, but why isn't David Luiz included? He's an instantly recognisable character because of the hair, he has a good social media presence, he's South American and he was a big part of the Adidas promotion in pre-season. It's surprising to me that he hasn't been chosen, and might hint at his future with the club.Or maybe not.Either way it's a nice reminder of just how big this club is becoming. That we've been chosen as the English representatives is great from a business standpoint but also a timely reminder of our stature in the game. Plus it's fucking cool.
