14m price tag on Lucas

[stringvest]

According to the BBC gossip website, the Mirror is today suggesting that the club has 'slapped' a transfer fee of 14m on the busy midfielder after receiving a few enquiries on his availability from 'top' European sides.

 

No idea how much we'd ask for Babel then.

Although I would cash in!

[WhiskeyJar]

14 million?

 

If the Chief stays then yeah I would cash in.

 

If Mascherano goes to Barcelona as reports suggest then Lucas stays.

[cmuller]

His transfer market value has certainly gone up in the this year, but there's no way I get rid now as he's showing signs of turning into a really important player for us.

But 14 million would go a very long way in our serach for a quality striker in January.

 

And in any case when Aquilani is fully fit and firing, you still think Lucas will keep his starting place in the line up?

[Vincent Vega]

It's in The Mirror, it's by Alan Nixon, it's almost certainly bollocks.

[aws]

He's worth £10m. Babel £2m tops.

[Fugitive]

I would not sell him. I'd give him at least until the end of the season as he is starting to vastly improve and I want to see how far he can get.

[Unrighteous]

I'm speechless.

The chances of anybody letting a quality striker go in January are slim.

I don't think he'll keep his place, Masch/Aqua has the right sort of balance about it to me. But with one players injury record and the other's questionable desire to be here, then Lucas becomes an important player with his ability to come in for either first choice players.

 

To be honest, if it came to having to raise funds through the sale of a midfielder, I'd rather sell Masch for £30m, use roughly half for a replacement, the remainder for an attacker and keep hold of Lucas. We'd be stronger overall then.

[WhiskeyJar]

I'm speechless.

 

May I ask why?

 

The fact some of our fans have done a U turn regarding Lucas or that he is now worth 14 million?

Like I already stated, its up to wherever Masch goes or stays. I think we need one of them of them to stay. To play them both though after Aquilanis is fit make no sense at all.

[cmuller]

The fact some of our fans have done a U turn regarding Lucas

 

I'm happy to be one of them. He's proving the doubters wrong, I'm struggling to think of another player in recent times that has been poor for so long, and then started to show his true ability consistently at this club.

[Flying Pig]

With these two cunts in charge I wouldn't sell to anyone. The money would disappear.

[Heinze]

if he was black he'd be worth 30 easy :whistle:

[Ted]

14m? Are these prices in Yen?

[Unrighteous]

He's still not good enough to be a first teamer at Liverpool, but yeah, he's doing well for Lucas standards.

[stringvest]

I don't know, but I'm fairly sure when we paid 10m for Kuyt it was in Punts. (Joke for you Irish there)

The thing is, if the owners need the money then they'll just sell anyway.

I know you mean at Liverpool, but Fletcher at the Mancs is a good example. He was very poor for quite a while and the fans wanted him out, yet he was a vital member of the sqaud that's won the last few titles. He got his confidence, found his form, and is noiw a really good player.

 

Some Liverpool fans can deny Lucas's progression all they want with comments like 'yeah, but it was against Birmingham' and other such rubbish, but Lucas played really well against Chelsea and the Mancs also. He is developing well with this run of games. When the board went up against Birmingham for him to come off, I was annoyed that it wasn't Mascherano coming off. Says a lot in my opinion.

[Ted]

 

SOLD!

[goatboy59]

Someone said 'Alan' and 'Nixon'.

 

Why are you all still talking?

[WhiskeyJar]

I have always wanted Lucas to make that attacking transition, but sadly that hasnt came to pass, he is a destructive midfielder that keeps things tidy and simple and may yet improve even more.

 

14 million though in the position where we are at now would be very, very, very hard to tun down.

 

I would have to think twice about it.

[cmuller]

Before someone else says it, £14m means that the club don't value him half as high as Xabi.

 

Or it means he's one superb season away from a valuation of £30-35m
