Should Lucas get a testimonial?

[Bjornebye]

He is as good a club servant as footballers are going to get now, and in terms of LFC players you can look at and think "Top fella, him". It's full of absolute cunts, bellends, beige non-entities and absurdly rich spoilt children. Compared to them Lucas is a prince among men.

 

The days of 10 year stints are almost entirely over and he's just been a stellar pro for us, whatever anyone thinks of his ability. He's dug in through being stuck behind the best midfield in the world, getting booed, finally cracking it, winning the crowd over only to get a cunt of an injury and be out for a year, missing the one trophy we won while he was here due to it, playing under 5 different managers, one of whom can eliminate the blind spot without recourse to wing mirrors and came through sharing a midfield with Jay Spearing without losing a fucking eye amid all the pointing.

 

He's exactly what you want in a pro in an era when you don't really get them like that anymore. Okay it's law of diminishing returns and he doesn't measure upto the better players of even our lesser great times, but if we don't celebrate and show gratitude to how someone like Lucas has conducted himself in the club's name in this entitled, mercenary, soft shite era we all have to fucking tolerate now, we likely never will to a player again.

 

He deserves one just for the unlucky montage.

I was thinking more along the lines of a used tampon but gynecological references are perfectly accpetable

The nice guy stuffs makes me laugh. Im pretty sure no one on here has a fucking clue what hes like.

 

Its often said about players not fit to wear the shirt who hang around too long.

In answer to that part. there's been enough behind the scenes footage over the years showing Lucas being a decent bloke from doing a lot of charity work etc.

The nice guy stuff is certainly not a far fetched thing to believe adding to what his teammates have said about him over the years in interviews.

 

As for the testimonial I'm pretty much not arsed if he gets one or not. 

If he does and most of the proceeds go to charities fair enough but I can't muster up enough interest to really give a shit. (thats what getting older and more cynical about life tends to do to you)

I'm not in favour of testimonials but am in favour of this one just to annoy stringvest.

Nice chap. A trier. Hung around for decade. Looked good for a few spells. Massive disappointment overall.

Depends what you were expecting.

 

If you were expecting him to elevate himself to Mascherano/Alonso levels then yes, but as a solid squad player he's been excellent.

 

One of the unheralded parts of Utd's dominance was role players who came in and did a job in place of their big name players when needed picking up the odd goal here and there or filling in out of position for the team.

Voted no. Don't even know why, I'm just still in a bad mood after Sunday.

 

For the record, I like Lucas.

Lucas seems like a very decent lad and he has been a good pro but the fact that here we are in 2017 still relying on him is a damning indictment on us as a club in terms of our squad building - he just isn't good enough to be in a side with our supposed ambitions.

Could you post the front cover to issue 70?
