Lucas had a good season big deal him and spearing are on a similar level for me, important to have players like this in your squad but shouldnt be 1st choice week in week out. Although a diff postion entirely Lucas is like John Oshea - average and does a decent job when required.
How anyone can say Lucas is better than Essien is beyond me, even if Essien wasnt at his best last season like most of the chelsea boys. Lucas had a poor 2 seasons before the last.
I do think its getting a bit over the top the praise the lad Lucas is getting, hes been at us for about 3-4 seasons and been a regular for the last 2 - rightly so he should be playing well hes getting world class coaching and playing alongside a player like Gerrard! I still worry that whilst players like Lucas are your 1st choice midfielder that your always going to be lacking what it takes to really challenge for the title.

Bang on the money with your above post, finally some one gets it, LUCAS is and will be average. best postion, squad player. i hope KD signs adam, sissoko and then i can see him selling raul and lucas, yes i said lucas cuzz sissoko is better than him and lucas will not be happy to sit on the bench, plus lucas value is about 10/12m.

I agree with you that Adam and Sissoko will be a good catch but for us to let go of two of our outstanding players for last season is just stupid. We got other deadwoods to think about and here you are talking about selling Raul and Lucas. Rubbish.
Lucas may not be as good because he is not a defensive mid to begin with. With Sissoko ard things might change for the better since he has to step up his game or risk being left on the bench. Player can or will improve if they face stiff competition during training.

Well said Afad. Completely agree. We could sell 2 perfectly good performers for 2 that don't settle in.

if a player is good enuff, he can play in any league in the WORLD, time to settle in, get use to the this n that is all BS.
players of limited ability can only play in certain leagues.
lucas, raul or sisoko, adam, who wud you choose,. for me is has to be adam, sissoko.

Anyone who says Lucas should be sold in soft in the head imo. He was our player of the season last season. I agree that for LFC to get where they need to be, me probably shouldn't be in our first choice starting 11 (He may improve even further next season and prove the remaining doubters wrong again). I think he has more than earned the respect of Liverpool fans, and it pisses me off to hear the minority of idiots still pissing and bitching about how sh*t he is and that he should be sold. If we can sign a top quality player in his position who will take is place in the side, then so be it, but i laugh at these suggestions of people saying "oh yeah, sell Lucas and buy *insert little-known foreign player's name here* to take his place". It's like people automatically assume that any potential signing is better than anything we already have. Doesn't always work like that, lads.

Lucas has had a fair share of bashing on/off the field until last season where his performances if not the best, is better than most of the squad players. Answer me this, if we sell Lucas and Sissoko gets injured or vice versa, who is going to provide the cover?

spearing because he is at the same level as lucas in my opinion - no goal threat, simple sideways passes and clumsy in the tackle
