Lucas

[Norbs]

He just tweeted "Last few days in Brazil then come back to Liverpool and start training again.Looking forward to meet my team mates". Doesnt sound like someone who is going.

Sounds like he's off to Everton...

I'll be very very angry if we sell him.

But we won't.

Snowball is growing on this one...

Probably bollocks! (unless he's worth a mint!)

[Lee]

Probably someone who hasn't watched him for a few years and think he's ****

I'll be very very angry if we sell him.

But we won't.

Liverpool rubbish Lucas exit reports
ESPNsoccernet staff
July 26, 2011

Liverpool will not be selling Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva despite speculation that he would help balance the books after Kenny Dalglish's heavy spending this summer.

The Reds do not normally comment on transfer speculation, and are making no official response concerning the rumours, but a source at the club told ESPNsoccernet: ''There is nothing to say about this. It is rubbish''.

Lucas was voted Player of the Year last season at Anfield, but with £49 million of new players brought in to bolster the midfield over the summer - Stewart Downing from Aston Villa, Sunderland's Jordan Henderson and Blackpool's Charlie Adam - competition in his department is fierce and the Brazilian's options might be more limited.

Reports in Tuesday's newspapers claimed Lucas was not prepared to risk spending six months on the bench, having recently returned from the Copa America. It was suggested he could make a £6 million exit with Italy the most likely destination.

However, having only signed a new deal in March, Dalglish sees Lucas as part of his future plans and still views him as a starter ahead of the likes of Joe Cole, Alberto Aquilani, Christian Poulsen, Jonjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing.

Wasn't he linked to an Italian club (Palermo mebbe) a couple of years ago?

Add that together with the fact we have a hefty list of midfielders on our books, equals another **** article.

[dww]

It's good that people laugh at that now - there were plenty advocating such a move last summer.

[red g]

that 6m figure is indeed a joke. So under rated its criminal.

[ashey]

What complete & utter tripe! He's the only player we have who can effectively break up play & sheild the back four.
As someone has already said, he's just established himself in the national side, was our player of the year (by a lonnnng chalk), & is rarely injured. As if we'd let him got for six measly million quid.
Absolute hogwash!

Looks like the club responded because the story originated from that **** rag, normally the club wouldn't comment on such speculation.

I think quite a few even offered to deliver him personally.

Yup, I was one of them.

Watching him over the last 12 months, I'm glad to have been proven wrong.
