KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Should we offload Lucas if the price is right?

Rubbish.! Check it out before you start, Shelvey has played how many Prem games.??? Lucas has been playing at a higher level for longer. My point is that although I hope Shelvey is a future star is certainly isn`t one now so why get rid of a proven performer to accomodate him.? if he was good enough he would be playing already.

[quote=JohnboyMost likely replace him with a slower, older. more expensive, crapper version.[/quote]

Like Poulsen, you mean?

As for the Shelvey debate, I wasn't aware he was a DM. I understand that it's common practice to bring younger midfield players up to know their defensive duties before pushing them higher up the pitch, but we already have Spearing as a stopgap younger DM (not a fantastic player, but better than Poulsen on any day), so I would prefer to see Shelvey as a proper CM, with Pacheco either ahead of him or on the wing.

A future vision?
------------Reina
-Kelly-Wilson-Agger-Mavinga-
------------Lucas-----------
----Shelvey--------Suso-----
--Amoo------Torres------Pacheco

Need 3-4 years of playing together though... Maybe Torres will be too old for that team, lol.

I'd keep lucas for another season after this one, get rid of poulsen instead and give spearing a chance and concentrate getting couple of wingers in and a striker. Give more game time to shelvey, and then get rid of Lucas at the end of next year as shelvey will be able to step into the 1st team on a regular basis

Yeah just let him go already, bring Nuri ?!!

bring Nuri ?!!


Who the hell is that.??? never heard of the guy.!

He means Uri Geller.

Bite there hand off. We shoulda done the same last year when brummies wanted babel. Now wed be lucky to get 6 mil for that lazy get.

Lets get rid of this [oops] Lucas, Pulson Babel and Konchesky. Not good enough for LFC

I agree that we should hold on to Lucas for abit longer. A season more atleast. I think as long as he is the only DM playing on a game, he will perform better due to the responsibilities given to him. When theres Masch and Poulsen, he tend to be complacent knowing that theres always a backup to cover his ass. Furthermore the fact that he is young and in the Brazilian International Squad, his value will not depreciate that much in the near future.

If we had a quality replacement I'd understand but Poulsen not good enough and Lucas better than Spearing so why weaken our squad?
