Why we should keep Lucas?
« on: December 1, 2010, 07:59:47 am »
 Every Tom, Dick and Harry wasgiven a new contract, while Lucas, an important player for Liverpool lately, was not offered a new contract.   This, and the insisting news in many sites, including Brazilian, about his supposed sale to Sevilla or some other Spanish team, indicates that Roy wants to get rid of him.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

Just remember the situation when Gerrard was injured, Spearing also, who could lead the midfeild? Meireles alone?

According to the Brazilian leading site Globo, the Andalusia team wanted first Poulsen, but then turned his attention to Lucas, and even sent some people to Liverpool to talk about the transfer.  He is supposed  to replace the Italian midfielder Tiberio Guarente, a bench player..  Being this the situation, the price that they may offer will be about 5 nil. euros,  what can Roy get for such amount? For sure nobody equal to Lucas, let alone better. 

Lucas is improving, has improved  and sure will be improve.  He and Meireles are doing nicely together,  is Lucas dead weight??

I could nominate here at least 5 players who should be sold/loaned before him

I wouldn't by no means, give Roy the licence to sell whatever come to his twisted mind.   To sell Lucas now will be a wrong move IMHO

What do you think??

How much do we have to give them to take Pulson??
If my assistant had not signalled a goal, I would have given a penalty and sent off goalkeeper Patr Cheh. he beeped me to signal the foul. The noise from the crowd  stopped me hearing it, I have been involved at places like Barcelona, Ibrox, Old Trafford, Arsenal, but I've never in my life been involved in such an atmosphere. IT WAS INCREDIBLE

If he's sold in January, it will be a fucking disgrace. Sell him at all, fucking disgrace.

Give him a new contract, sharpish!

There's no way that even Roy is that stupid to let Lucas go after the lad's been one of our best outfield players this season. I would assume that the reason why no contract negotiations have taken place is because we do not have a CEO as of yet. If NESV appoint one around new year as predicted, I can see the January transfer window being the first priority followed by contract negotiations. So, if Lucas still hasn't signed a new contract by March or so, I would start worrying. As of now, we just have to hope things improve on the pitch for us.

In no way is Lucas dead weight. He's been just about our player of the season and he has improved tenfold this season and last, now more regularly hitting nicely weighted passes and winning fouls when he used to get pushed off the ball. Also now a Brazil NT regular. The only players that should definitely be shown the exit door are:
Babel
Konchesky
Poulsen
Itandje

If we did sell, we need someone who is better than we can afford but can't think of any standout names. Defour? And with nocturnal owl in charge of signing mediocrity, there's no logical reason to sell Lucas.

Roy shouldn't be trusted to sell anyone - just as a general point of principle.
I've always thought Lucas had a lot more to him than we were seeing, and I think it would be absolute madness to sell him now when he's finally starting to show his qualities.

I'm not sure he's going to be good enough long-term, but right now I'd jettison 3/4 of the squad before I got to him.

I'd say...
Babel
Konchesky
Poulsen
Itandje
Jovanovic
Maxi
Jones
Darby
Degen

..can be sold if we wish (I'm not saying selll everyone but wouldn't mind any of these leaving). Lucas though is a decent squad player to have and doesn't seem to grumble about not playing every week. Yes, we coul dbuy better players than him, but there is no real reason to sell him, especially when others could go first if we need to raise some funds.

I think Roy has slowly realised that the squad he has inherited isn't that bad. Lucas typified that beautifully. A player who started in the "B" team has slowly made himself a real part of  the first XCXI.

I don't think Roy will be getting much of a say who comes or goes in January.
Even he knows he's only a care taker manager. With Comolli coming in for the longer term, I think (also hope and pray) that Roys out of the loop when it comes to our comings and goings.

Babel
Konchesky
Poulsen
Itandje
Jovanovic
Maxi
Jones
Darby
Degen

IMO Jovanovic, Maxi should stay. Cant believe that Itandje is still here. His contract should've been terminated that very evening. Add El Zhar and Plessis to that list too.

But Lucas? No fucking way.

It's a good topic with a posing question, which just happens to contain a reference to another club being interested in an LFC player.

No, isn't he a perfect NESV/Comolli player? Young, technically gifted and constantly improving, can't see them approving the sale.

I would sell if a offer of 8m + came in.

Thing is with Lucas for me both Rafa and now Roy are playing wrong. Said many a times that he should be allowed to get into the box more and express his football skills.

Look we have make some tough decisions: I hear we cant sell Babel, Cant sell Kuyt, Cant sell Torres, Cant sell this player or that - Thing is we finished 7th, we're struggling this season.

Its time for a change and if I am sorry all the players should be at risk of being sold and I include Torres in that.
