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

OK, So who fills in when that someone is injured/international duty etc....

No brainer....KEEP.

And we have to have competition for places. On current form, Lucas will keep any superstar on his toes.

I agree, always makes me smile when people come on here spouting about Lucas being crap, same with Kuyt. You don't get a game with Brazil and Holland if you are crap...

Lucas is a useful player, in my opinion better than Mascherano was so to be selling him on for next to nothing is madness. If however he is part of a swap deal and we are picking up Cavani/Lavezzi or the likes then I would consider it.

i heard that link with napoli too. and the rumoured price was £3m. we can't let him go for that. we've signed far too many dud 10m+ players. i think in two seasons time he'll be twice the player he is now.

Let me just say I am a fan of Lucas, think his attitude is nothing short of incredible and he has developed himself into a tidy ball winner with the occasional killer pass in him. But better than Masch??? now that is madness mate.

He passes the ball forward which offers alot more than sideways masch.

Funny how people on these boards were saying Lucas couldn't make a forward pass under no pressure a few months back.

Yep sure was alot of Lucas bashing on here,people forget how young he was when he signed.

I hated him the first season he played - he was awful. But he's made big strides each season since then, and long ago I decided he was a useful squad player. He'll be better than Masch at 26. But I see he's linked with a move away from Anfield, and that's bit sad, especially if he goes for less than 10 million. I'm happy that we might sign Adam, but if we lose Lucas in the process we don't really gain anything. We need cover, and we will have games where we want both Lucas and Adam on the pitch.

I think Mascherano was a tidy ball winner and nothing more, think Lucas has a more level head on him as well. Watching Mascherano I feared every game we would be playing with 10 men, more through his mouthing off than his tackling.
