I'm quite astounded. Lucas is still in his 20s?

Everything I've read today is that Klopp thinks Gomez is the real deal and is ready to play his part in the second half of the season so Lucas can go if he want's.

Just seems risky considering he's actually not played in the league for Klopp, has had back to back long term injuries and we're letting an experience pro go whilst trying to mount a title push.

It would be weird the day he goes but he was a liability in midfield a lot of last season and now just seems to be considered a cover centre back, done ok there especially last season but I'd much rather Godmez got them minutes now.

Only reason I can see us accepting this is if Lucas has asked Klopp to leave, he kept hold of him this time last year didn't he? He hasn't broken into the team, he's been a good cover but he deserves to be starting somewhere.

It does leave us a bit short though, Gomez has yet to play a league game at CB has he? Maybe we can bring someone in on loan ourselves.

It's Dilva..

maybe Klopp can turn Arda into a ball playing CB

[Kenneth]

About time. The guy is a liability now. The slow motion Italian league might be just what he needs.

got to watch these FIFA officiandos

Lucas is a DM who covers the CB position - unlikely Turan would be a replacement for him. As others have said maybe Gomez as the CB but we are still light in midfield unless Stewart gets more game time.

[Irishnev]

You'd assume so, although it wouldn't be a transfer window if Lucas hadn't agreed a loan deal with another club.

Arda Turan to replace him?

We must have someone coming in then I'd assume.
