    If an experienced replacement is bought, Lucas may as well resign himself to never becoming a regular starter

        Why?
        If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

          He's had 2 years at Liverpool making roughly 20 appearances in each season in the premiership and 70 appearances in all competitions over 2 years. This season IMO is make or break for him. If he can't impose himself now, when will he.

            If he was 25 fair enough.

            He's not.
            Forwards.......

              Look at the Momo Sissoko situation, roughly same appearances and same age or am I beating at the wrong drum.

                After having a year to settle he played more than 40 times last year.

                Either way, we are still going to need at least one more player for CM as we need cover for both him and Mascherano. Regardless of who we sign, Lucas will still have his fair share of games, and I’d be willing to bet he’d have the majority over this next signing.

                I look forward to Lucas making the position his own this year, more so to see who the next scapegoat will be.

                  Momo wanted first team. He was first XI and got replaced by Javier, which obviously irked him some what. Besides which we needed the cash for Javier.

                  Lucas is far from irreplacable (sp) but until a better option turns up let's keep him.

                    Lucas shouldn't be trusted as first choice next season, but he shouldn't be sold. A lot of seemingly average players at that age turn out good eventually. Look at Darren Fletcher, I don't think he's more talented than Lucas.

                      I don’t think he should be trusted with a guaranteed spot, we do need an alternative/competition, but I do think he can make the position his own before the end of the season.

                        we need 3 new central midfielders to win the league this year IMO. masher will prob follow xabi out the door and lucas, plessis and spearing are no where near good enough. trouble is, i dont know enough bout this aquillani bloke to make a judgement and from what i've ssen or martinez he's a quality talent alright but i'd have my reservations about his style in england. dont even get me started on the shower of ****e that is lee cattermole. pretty much think we're ****ed for the coming season.

                          At this stage I feel even if Xabi stays we will look to promote Lucas in order to safeguard our future. He understands how Rafa wants to play and is a pretty tactically flexible player. If he has gained the strength he claims to have then I think he will be a huge asset. If Alonso goes I think as you say he is nailed on for the Spurs match.

                            You say that, but all pre-season we have played what to me is a 442. Gerrard has started every game in CM.

                            I await the Espanyol game with baited breath.

                              Agree completely. Technically these moron's who slate the players aren't fans, they are leeches.

                                or just maybe they are a bit gutted and will be ok in a day or two
