Lucas

Ah Lucas my arch enemy

That really is a ridiculous time for a friendly.With Masch off he's going to be very important for us next season.

I'm kinda hoping that Roy can get someone else in quick smart when Masch goes, Parker/Banega/Flamini/Fernando would be nice, wishful thinking maybe but relying on Lucas to protect the back 4 worries me.

This craving for Scott Parker from some quarters bothers me.

[wiw]

He's pretty good looking to be fair

Me too.

You would have thought this summer proved that English players are hyped beyond belief.

Give it a break newbie you are not on cocktalk now. If it has escaped you, Lucas was one of our best players last year. Without his performances we would have finished in the bottom half of the table last season

Koptalk whatever do you mean haha, jeez how long is this gonnabe held against me!! And taking into account the teams performance last season Lucas being one of the best isnt really a great achievement.

Lucas has great heart and shows good commitment but IMO him protecting the back 4 is bad news for us. Valid concerns mate and no need to be rude to me for my past indiscretions

I quite like Parker but would depend very much on the fee we get for Masch and the fee we pay for Parker. Hard to know what rumours to believe though.

A lot of us on here have been on cocktalk in previous lives, so it wont be held against you

As you say Lucas is a good player. In my opinion we shouldnt have anyone protecting the defence, they should be protecting themselves. Our midfield needs to be more offensive end of story. If you need more people to defend you should us 5 defenders, not 4 defenders and a 1 midfield player

I hope Masherano is sold, great player, but lacks any sort of creativity. I also, hope Lucas is allowed to play more as he did at Greimo as a box to box type player
