Lucas

[Assassin]

Lucas. The professionals professional

[RedReet]

he struggled when he first joined, rash challenges and change in style and role but he really worked at it and has become one of the best in his position.

A lot of footballers could take a leaf from him

He struggled to live up to his reputation and struggled to adapt his game to the PL, but I agree with Matt that he was never ****e. Always showed plenty of potential and was never as bad as made out. Always had an air of class about him IMO.

True,but he lacked the strength that he has now,imagine if we brought Masch back,we would be beastly!

Really? On 27-09-07 you said:



And you also thought he'd be our Kaka

tbf to Arn, when at Gremio Lucas was a box to box player.
It was Rafa that changed his position and was probably one of the reasons why he didn't shine as he got used to playing in a different style.

TBF to both Lucas and Rafa, Rafa told Lucas to either concentrate and develop as either a DM or AM and Lucas made the decision to become the best DM the world has ever seen.

The post of his I quoted was him bragging that "a couple of months" after Lucas played his first game, he declared he'd be one of the best DM's around etc.

His old post I quoted, which was made a couple of months after Lucas played his first game, is Arn claiming he isn't a DM. I can't be arsed to go back and check again to find when, if at all, Arn made the claim that he claims he did.

So I was just highlighting the discrepancy in his bragging Which I know is really silly and childish but I was procrastinating at the time so it seemed a good idea

[Arn]

Lucas first had to replace Xabi and then a year later Masch. He played in the Masch position since he replaced him.

He had Xabi and Masch learning him the game. Helps a lot of course.

Rafa almost always took him off after 60 or 61 minutes. Very strange.

I maybe had wrong when I said what I said about Lucas and the DM thing but I did say it very early and got laughed at by almost everyone.

I did say that he would become the best defensive midfielder in the league. Not the second best, the best.

Probably the only one in the world that thought that at that time.

[Reece]

Apart from Rafa of course

[RedReet]

TBF to Arn he did compare him to Pirlo pretty early on.

[Arn]

He isn't a Pirlo.

He is a Maschonso. A mix of Xabi and Masch.

[rudedog]

Nope - he is a Lucas, the original and best.

Ok then, you were wrong then too. Sorry for trying to support you.
