Lucas is a great squad player, someone every team needs. I just don't feel he'll ever make the grade as a concrete starter in the 11, not with the way we pursued Charlie Adam and consistently linked with M'vila. I'm more than happy that Lucas is part of our squad and long may it continue!!! I feel he's limited, I think Raul, Gerrard, Shelvey and eventually Adam are/will end up ahead of him but I thoroughly enjoy watching him play at times and hopefully he will remain at the club for many years to come.
He has great potential to turn around and make bullshit of what I've just said but there just my feelings. Glad he turned the move down!!!
