Lucas

[Gingawaria]

Magnificent servant to the club - came in for massive criticism when he first signed but stuck at it and earned everyone's respect. Have no doubt in my mind had he not got injured when he did he would've gone on to be one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.

Can still do a job, as has been proven this season and will be an asset for whoever he moves to next.

I'd like him to stay personally.

[Charly]

I dont think he has the quality we need, and as an old head, he is too clumsy or sloppy to be the man you bring on for the last 20 minutes to shore things up... and certainly not as a centreback

I think I would rather have his place in the team went to either a promising youngster or a "wise old head" in the McAllister vein.

Yes, great servant to the club, but not at the required level now.

Keita would be a good replacement no?

[Kenneth]

I don't know, never seen him play.

Me either but it seems to be a common belief on here.

Keita wouldn't typically be the deepest midfielder, Can the deepest and Keita in the Gini role with Phil as the 8

I thought it was said on here he was a DM ?

That's how I'd see it, he's a box to box player rather than a sitting midfielder. Having said that, so is Can and Henderson but Klopp still likes to use them in that deeper role.

[Phoenix07]

That would leave Henderson, Wijnaldum and Lallana as the back-ups? That's quite a strong central midfield.

[poorscousertommy]

I don't see us dropping Lallana from midfield.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I don't see us dropping Lallana from midfield.

Me neither, to be honest after last summer I'm just going to enjoy it rather than stress over it. Nobody had a clue when we signed Wijnaldum that he'd play so deep or that we'd change our system, Klopp could well do something like that again.

Remember seeing the midfield line up first game of the season? It looked utter madness.

Lucas wants to go back to Gremio this Summer, hopefully he will get the move back he wants as Agger did in the end

[Fosterbloke]

It's a shame but 10 years of service means he gets to call the shots and deservedly so

[SB]

Good on him. All the best lad.
