First of all, Lucas is a top fella. He is a good professional and a good character. And who can't love a modern day multi-millionaire footballer who spends his time looking after his ranch in the summ

Lucas has only ever been ok apart from one season and I don't understand why so many people (in general, not on here) are so gutted about him leaving. I bet they were the same ones saying he was shite and not a proper Brazilian and from Breeze Hill in Bootle when he played more often than he does now.

 

Every time he plays he constantly gives away free kicks in dangerous areas. He nearly made Gerrards head explode when he did it in the last few minutes against Norwich in 2014.

As I said during the dark days last season the only managers I would have accepted coming in to replace Rodgers were Capello or Mourinho, two men who are almost guarenteed to get a title if they are given a fair chance.

 

Mourinhos a complete cunt and I don't like the man but I know I could get behind him if he became manager, when he started defending and speaking up for our club like he does with Chelsea all the fanbase would.

You mean Ancelotti instead of Capello dont you?

Its easy to be confused,'All these I-talians and their greasy hair coming over here in their fancy suits.'

Stringy won't be best pleased but seems Lucas is staying,  Good decision imo

 

The Besiktas president has confirmed that Liverpool will not let Lucas Leiva leave the club in the current transfer window, according to a report in the Liverpool Echo.

The 28-year-old was widely reported to be on his way out of Anfield after being left out of the manager Brendan Rodgers’ squad for their first two league games of the season against Stoke City and Bournemouth.

However, Lucas, who has two years to run on his contract, returned to the starting line-up for Monday’s goalless draw with Arsenal following an injury to the skipper Jordan Henderson and Rodgers praised his performance.

“Lucas is our best defensive midfield player,” Rodgers said after the Arsenal game. “There are games where I play three midfield players but not always with a defensive specific one, but when we do need that, he is the best one we have. He’s certainly very important to what we want to do.“

I don't want him to leave. I like him. I don't think much of him as a player, that's all. I'm not a hater. He's no Glen Johnson.

Good,  He's no genius I would agree but he's can be a key player in certain situations ; Monday being a good example and he's loyal, Don't get me wrong I would have him shot at dawn  if it would bring back Masch !

Sell him and upgrade - Okay.

 

Loan him and don't even replace - Marcellus Wallace with a ballgag in place being sodomised.

 

If he's staying then it's good news, certainly compared to the alternative.

 

Where I come down. 

 

He's still nowhere near good enough as a DM though but Rodgers doesn't seem to value that position anyway.

Obviously the sensible thing to do keeping him but if he's only going to use him in a handful of games, maybe he should buy a midfielder who can actually defend as well as pass, run and shoot. Versatile players are useful as well, and you don't have to wheel out players now and then who don't normally suit your tactics.

To be fair, we are down with injuries as well.
