Honestly, I may be clutching at straws, but the lad has suffered some horrible abuse from the terraces (and I will admit to booing him as well), but the lad has knuckled down and I don't think anybody can say he has not improved.
Rafa changed him from a forward thinking player to a defensive one. Lets just say I would keep him over Aquaman.

Lets just say I would keep him over Aquaman. i think if aqua can stay fit he will be a massive player for us, i think his got real talent. his completely different to the other players we have. i just hope he aint another harry ill. in terms of lucas i wouldnt mind keeping hold of him and seeing what his like going forward. if his still shiit then get rid.

he's an okay player at best and for the £5-6m we paid we could have taken a punt on a player with some premiership experience like lee cattermole, fabrice muamba, aaron ramsey or perhaps james mcarthy (i know not premiership experienced). Don't see that bringing young inexperienced players in from outside europe for decent money is very risky especially when there are young english players of an equivelant quality that if your willing to take a punt on at least you don't have to worry about them adapting to the lifestyle or they style of football.
lucas however doesn't deserve the abuse from fans. he's a try hard player and gives his best

Definetly not a starter for liverpool nor should he be this coming season. However he does show committment and if roy plays him at his prefered position which is an attacking midfielder he can maybe make some impact coming off the bench.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I am new in this forum, but I haven´t read a word about Lucas Leiva.
Like Dirk is a player I would love in my team, Lucas is a player that I never ever will want in my team.
Rafa gave him so many chances... and we finished in a low possition.
From this forum I declare an anti Lucas fan.
Probably he is a good guy.. and maybe he would be a good player in the next years. But nowdays he is not ready for wearing the Liverpool´s shirt.
Sorry for my brutally honesty... but It is what I think.
If you actually went to any games and watched you may think differently.You would have seen some of our "SUPERSTARS" just milling around giving lacklustre performances week in week out..more concerned on retaining their fitness for the world cup,where as at least Lucas would give 100%,and then get stick for it aswell.Anytime their was any kind of squirmish he would be the first to jump in and stand up for his team mates...dont remember Gerrard doing that once last season.You will hear alot of fans asking for 100% effort regardless,and Lucas always fills that criteria,yet people like you just stick the knife in?Carragher,Torres,Gerrard,Kuyt,Riera,Johnson,Insua,Benayoun and Skrtel all under performed for the majority of the season when they were fit so try and analyse things before blaming Lucas for a lowly finish.

We've always had the problem that our squad wasn't big or good enough to compete on all fronts. While I don't think he should be our first choice, I would still keep hold of him and Insua for that matter and use them as back-ups.

He aint the most gifted player but he DOES give 100% (similar to Dirk Kuyt) Until we get good quality replacements then we cant afford to sell these players or any players really!!

I couldnt agree more with Legend. Last season, Lucas was the most improved player in the squad. He always gives 100% and is still relatively young. I think some fans will always get on his case no matter what but I think he is a keeper, certainly until we see what else turns up this summer
