Lucas

[Lee]

I have confidence in Spearing seeing us through until January. But he's still not as defensive as Lucas. We're going to need a new 'destroyer' now.

It's a massive blow.

[BigChief]

So it is ACL. Will he ever return to this level? A season out then half a season to try to steal game time. Looks like he won't be back in this form for at least 1 to 1.5 years.

Maybe a player in Jan now doesn't seem like a bad idea. He'll need half the season and the summer to settle in with us.

Huge blow - its his first major injury for us, therefore I'd be tempted to bring someone in on loan rather than buy.

[Roboklopp]

Aye.


We need to get some skin in the game.

I think a loan would be best as it'd leave money aside for another forward. I liked the idea of Mascherano until I woke up.

Lucas has shown to be mentally strong over the years, I just hope he comes back with the level of confidence that he's had over the last year or so.

[Rich]

As a plus Lucas doesn't rely on blistering pace so hopefully the injury wont affect his game too much if the operation is a success.

A mate of mine just texted that we are after Huddlestone as a replacement...

[Rabiosa]

Wouldn't mind Huddlestone at all.

Always rated him, got a sweet right foot aswell

[Tee]

Not exactly mobile like Lucas though is he? Actually I think Huddlestone is ****e - not good enough for Spurs well he ain't good enough for us.

Weren't we linked with him in the summer?

He's a different player than Lucas and isn't good enough for us.

Spearing's a better defensive tiger than Huddlebunny.

[Rabiosa]

You guys are underrating Huddlestone here, just cause he doesn't get games ahead of Parker,Modric and Van Der Vaart doesnt mean hes ****

[Slinky Skills]

Devastating news, horrible injury for him. Skrtel came back from a similar injury so we need to think positive.

He will be sorely missed, awful news.

[Ben_Itez]

Devastating news for us and obviously Lucas himself. Really hope he can come back as good as before. Surgeons can perform wonders these days but look at Essien at Chelsea - hardly played in two years and his was a similar injury, no?

Just as we were starting to look like a really really good side as well. Think Jay can step in to a certain extent and i actually rate him pretty highly but it does leave us a bit short if anything happens to him.

Anyone know how Gerrard's recovery is going?

True, it's the fact he's **** that means he's ****.
