**** me, that story is the epitomy of bitter sweet

Yeah, and we'll be looking back at this later in the season and there will still be fans saying that hindsight is a good thing etc.

IMO that type of player is absolutely essential in every side. There will be alot of games that a dedicated DM is absolutely crucial.

I get he's injured alot and isn't quick but he knows the position inside out and reads the game brilliantly. I just feel it will be a big mistake to let him go, if we aren't going to replace him. I'd like to think that the people running and managing at LFC don't need hindsight to see that one.

I think it's madness to give him away for the season if we don't have a direct replacement. It's so risky.

Jay Riley is supposed to be reliable. Can't get my head around this if true!

@Jay_78_: Decision made on Lucas to go to Besiktas then. That's happened fast.

I'd imagine Lucas would have been fed up at not even being on the bench with Allen out.

How is it that the Mancs and Chavs can get shed loads of cash for their bloody trash and all we ever get offered is ****ing loan deals! Its ****ign wank!!

[Shaggy]

Surely not

[The other issue about potentially selling Lucas, is the situation we find ourselves in now, an injury or two and we are out of options, particularly if we want a 3 man midfield. If Lucas was let go our options at the moment would be to play Lallana in CM or bring in Rossiter

+1

It is not just 3 man midfield but the fact we really do not have any other DM in our squad atm and loaning Lucas just wouldn't be smart especially if we have no intentions of replacing him with another DM as BR vision of flued/mobile midfield does not seem to include one.

Rossiter, who has been training with the first team, is not ready for that role as of yet and imo this is a huge risk but nothing new as we haven't been looking to improve in that area for long time now.

as i posted in the arsenal build up thread a few days ago.

its now or never for the reintroduction of lucas. brendan really needs to sort out his stubborn streak and do whats best for the team. if he keeps trying to prove he is the tactical genius then its going to cost him his job.

as hendo is most likely going to miss this i would like us to start like this.

lallana only gets a start as firmino has looked a little ponderous, ibe is all over the shop. maybe change for origi for the last 30.

We all know what the back 5 is!!

Perfect formation and line up for me with the players we have fit. Henderson for Can if he is fit.

I'd like to see a few defenders tbh

Klopp is not coming to LFC, if he was ever coming summer was the chance. He is 99% certain to take over Bayern when (if) Pepe leaves.
