KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Would you like to keep Lucas??

The brazilian midfielder is keen to renew is contract with Liverpool(1 Year remaining)since joining the reds in 2007 from Gremio. The 23 year old has become a reguler in the starting line up of both club & country.What's your opinions guys would you like to keep him or get rid of him in the summer??

wait.... THATS Lucas? i thought that was mascherano?

Deffo keep,a good squad player at least regardless of any fresh blood bought in the summer.

Definitely keep. He showed tremendous improvement, and great commitment.
I am sure he will keep getting better.

Definate keep for me he's a great squad player to have, the guys attitude is unbelievable, he gets better each season and he's also a big game player. He's never let us down in games against Chelsea, United and Everton.

Keep, no question about it. Most improved player, and getting better all the time.

I know no one is bigger than the club after twatgate, but quite bluntly the club shouldn't have a say in him going he's been that loyal consistent and important to the squad over the last 2 seasons that the club imo owe him a new contract.

Then theres the fact he could improve further possibley, he's relatively young, and has admirers at other clubs already, plays for Brazil and could become captain for them in the future, and an increase in his transfer fee with additional years to a new contract, I'd say it's a no brainer.

Also after all the stick he took even more than Diouf after he left, to not lash out at the fans or complain or leave is quite remarkable when you consider, Riera, Diouf, Torres, Hodgson all had a dig after leaving or while at the club.

Finaly if he wasn't here this season and Purslow had his way last summer, where would be in the table with Pulson being our only dm in the squad, our defense has been [oops] this season and without Lucas we'd be in a relagation fight definatley below 12th.

So basicaly yes lmao

Uhmmm, can think of him as a super sub, so why not ?, when trying to kill games or whatever

I just think he is one of those players that as he gets older he gets better and better. Definately keep him even on the bench for cover if we sign good midfielders in the summer.

Keep. Best squad player we have after Kuyt. Absolutely find someone who starts ahead of both of these players regularly, but never sell them.
