KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Chelsea players could be signed.....

I think Lucas is better than Essien! Although Essien is roughand tough he has absolutely no footballing brain. Lucas had a great season, and that is not the only reason I prefer him, but due to his dedication and commitment to LFC I would pick him over Essien. Essien is just another strong DM IMO and is no better than any other players in his position, if anything he lacks footballing intelligence.

marco think ur wrong there mate lucus improved last year but he has a long way to go before he gets to essien's level for a start they both play the same role yet essien still scores goals when he plays lucus needs to add a lot to his game for example,goals,stop giving away silly free kicks,passing and his overall awareness needs to improve

last season lucas was clearly better then essien and pretty much the whole chelsea midfield

Based on last season I would agree Lucas was better, but to compare Lucas to Essien when he's on form is way off. Essien is beast and is a quality player. Hopefully Lucas can become better in the future tho.

Lucas is still relatively young and is getting better with each season, to replace him now when last year he was arguably our best player would be ridiculous. I agree, maybe 2 years ago I wanted him out of our squad, let alone first team but the kid is improving more and more, if he's performing leave him alone and let him play. Would love to get a teenage understudy to Lucas, AKA Rodwell or Martines.

It's cos Mr Tevez has explained to the world how sh!! Manchester is

Would Martinez be an understudy?

He's much too good not to start in the starting 11 of most teams and i don't think he'd be interested in coming abroad to a non-Champions League club

I agree about Lucas though. Two years ago he was our weakesat link - and whenever we played him (instead of Alonso and/or Mascerano) it showed - but he's taken trhe criticism and used it as a spur to get better - and whilst i wouldn't say he was our best player last season (Suarez made enough of an impact in the dozen or so games he played to take that role) he was certainly our most improved

Essein was sh*t hot 3-4 years ago but since then he's really gone off the boil and I'd be wary of signing him. Chelsea wouldn't be getting roid of him if he still had it and i wouldn't want another Joe Cole on the books

Well done Jim a post that doesnt conatin the words Henderson, Comoli, Waste and money.

Top post as well.

The only player i would take off Chelsea's hands if they would let us is a young gaunt but brilliant player named Josh McEachran.

He is going to be a freaking awesome player. The kid has the vision to match some seasoned campaigners. Of course, there is no way he will be allowed to leave. i hope we can at some point entice him to join us when he cant get a place in the money launderer's side
