Lucas

[Phoenix07]

MOM for me, really does well for us there when he isn't asked to cover for Gerrard too. Selling him now or the summer would be madness unless he's properly replaced first.

I think he'll definitely be sold, but it's a question of when. It should be the summer, as we don't have the funds to replace him adequately i.e. Schneiderlin. It'll probably be Delph though.

He was very good today. This run of games is doing him the world of good, as is the pressing in front of him.

Was there two Lucas' on the pitch today? Certainly felt like it...

Brendan ruled out a loan but didn't rule out a sale.

Said that we hadn't had an offer on a piece of paper but the feeling I got was that if it was sensible we would sell.

Mom for me too. His control in tight spots and balls forward to get us attacking again made Sunderland look like chumps. Wonderful display.😍

decent today.

Madness to sell him. I don't think it's fluke that Lucas becoming a regular starter again has coincided with us losing 1 of our last 13, he gives solidity and composure to the group.

Lucas wants to play regular football and moving forwards that isn't going to happen here. Which I actually agree with as he hasn't been the same since the bad injuries. But he's a first teamer at present and IMO we should keep him until the summer.

But you have to be fair to Lucas. If the club get a fair valuation and he has an opportunity to get his career back on track, it's hard to deny him that move. As I said though, I'd keep him. Even if we got someone like Bender or Carvalho who seem good fits for this league, there's nothing to say they'd settle immediately like Matic did for the Chavs.

Got to stay, especially with Gerrard going. Playing really well. Good character too. Lost count of the amount of interceptions him and Lazar made today, seemed like they were doing it every couple of minutes.

I dont think he was asked about a sale....

Lucas is going nowhere

[baitman]

i hope we keep lucas.

i wouldnt be so against seeing fabian delph brought in to play alongside him to give us a bit more balls in the middle of the pitch.

[Assassin]

Playing 3 at the back, means Lucas is a must play....

[kubrickscube]

With Gerrard going, Lucas offers the calming old head the team needs, particularly in times of pressure.

If Rodgers lets him go.... We'll all suffer. Don't do it!

[frank the tank]

Lucas for me is one of the most important players right now. Eventually I hope that we go back to the diamond formation (or something very similar)and for me Lucas is a great guyot sit in the DM role in that formation.....

I wouldn't sell him in the summer either. What if any new midfielder takes too long to settle???keeping Lucas all of next season at least wouldn't be a bad idea.
