Have been a critic of Lucas but thought he was excellent today. One thing though, what kind of player is he? He's doing the defensive water-carrying role but when he first signed he was more of an attacker.

He plays in the Lucas role.

Listen, Liverpool might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there. Let him sign the contract and go.  He's doing it, he's doing his thing. Lucas is back.

he'll be a world class midfielder in 1-2 years

People used to say this sort of shite regularly.  I remember that season he had where at the end of every game people would just say MOM regardless of what had happened on the pitch.  He was absolutely shite for years and thousands of our supporters deluded themselves into thinking he was good enough.  He was here for a fucking decade and we won one league cup which was funnily enough in the year he got injured and only played about 10 games.

 

10 years fucking hell.  What were the club playing at.

More like some dickheads decided that Lucas should be the personification fall guy for the state of the club, rather than actually judge him as a player. And then made total twats of themselves by saying players like Charlie Adam or Jay Spearing should play instead. 

 

He was decent and still is, as shown by carrying on at a decent level in Italy.

Na.  The time we signed him was the age of the internet bullshitter.  Everyone was trying to be the guy that told everyone about a hidden gem or the next big thing and prove how clever they were.  He arrived with people being told by these bellends he was the next Gerrard.  A goal scoring box to box player who’d been brilliant in Brazil.  He came in and was shite and then was getting games ahead of Alonso.  There was then a wave of “get behind him he will come good” and he continued to be a raging liability.  The amount of fucking stupid free kicks he’d give away that would lead to goals is the stuff of legend specifically the late one ones.

 

It’s funny you mention Adam as he won the same amount of trophies as Lucas despite being here for 5 minutes and actually played in the final to win it.  He was also a better footballer than him.  Jay Spearing was lauded by the same idiots who were up Lucas’ arse.  None of them were good enough and 2 of them were moved on relatively quickly while the other lingered around for 10 years.  If people wanted them in the team ahead of him it will have been because they wanted anyone else in the team ahead of him after watching another insipid display from him.

 

He was a fucking shit footballer.  He was totally out of his depth when he arrived.  He played that many professional games for the club that he eventually became not a complete liability for a few seasons.  I honestly think if you plucked out 90% of the youngsters in our academy and give them that many games they would surpass the level he got to.  He’s subsequently went to a mid table team in a worse league that’s played at a snails pace most of the time.  He’s doing well there apparently although I doubt anyone has actually watched him and are just going over reports written by someone else who hasn’t watched the game.

More trophies at Liverpool > better player?

 

Never really realised how good such luminaries like Traore, Diouf, Charlie Adam, Murphy, Kewell etc etc etc etc actually were. All played a part in trophy winning sides. I’ve got this all wrong.
