Lucas

[Bender]

Sweeping generalisation but these Italians do seem like a bunch of tight - fisted chancers!

and Goodbye

[RichC]

Just move him on for a reasonable fee

You need someone willing to pay that fee though and as it stands there doesn't seem to be anyone

[RedReet]

Had accepted a long time ago that he'll most likely be playing in Italy next year. Think it's best for both parties sadly, although a loan move is slightly disappointing.

[Vermilion]

How is it that people think he's ****, but still call Napoli names for wanting him on the cheap ?

Surely they should be praising Napoli for taking him off our hands, look how much it cost UTD with Nani!

We're getting £1.6m

The Anfield Talk @TheAnfieldTalk 16m
Napoli have agreed a £1.6m loan fee with Liverpool for Lucas, with a permanent option of £8.3m. [Gazzetta dello Sport]

£8.3m that must be a typo

[RedReet]

There was talk of £20m last year when Rafa first took over.

He may not be what we need in our current squad, but if he can stay injury free and establish himself in the Napoli midfield then under £10m is likely to look an absolute bargain to them.

That's a start

Are they paying his wages or does that represent his salary for the year?

And a great deal for us too

[RedRum]

Has Lucas left yet?

[Kenneth]

Unfortunately not.

[Fredo]

So he's a liability now?

[RedRum]

I just thought of him because I remembered the role he played in a midfield 3 with Allen and Henderson against Tottenham last season. We dominated the midfield and ran riot. Maybe he has still got something to offer.

Gerrard was missing that game IIRC, cant play both IMO.
