Lucas

[RichC]

I'd imagine there are plenty on here who weren't sold on Lucas to start off with but by Christ he's proved many of us wrong, cracking player, does his job well, never complains and I'd imagine he'd be one of the first names on the team sheet - week in week out.

If he was playing at Manure or Chelsea Sky et al would be waxing lyrically about how great a find he was and how important he is to their side (infact I bet Fergie would love Lucas in the side!)

JohnDoe?

Are you there?

Where's the list?

Why don't you give me a potentially shorter list, of all the central midfielders playing in other top sides who are inferior to Lucas.

I think that could be more interesting.

Is Lucas better than Scott Parker?
Is he better than Gareth Barry?
How about Busquets and Xabi Alonso? *giggle*. Top 10 DM in the world somebody said?

Like **** he is.

You're all mental, he's not even close to top 10 CM in the Premier League. Man City alone have 4 players better than him at his position.

Gotta admire your spirit ...it's demented

The answer to your questions are:

Yes
Yes
No
No

Lucas better than Gareth Barry and Scott Parker.

I asked you first, so it's only polite that you carry out my request.

Now, you originally mentioned 'dozens of better holding midfielders'. Let's keep it to quite a low figure then, say three dozen (that's 36 players btw).

Name me three dozen better holding midfielders than Lucas.

clearly lucas' hair is bottom 10 stuff.

this discussion is fascinating though. i mean it.

You've lost it

There is not one neutral and objective football fan who would say that Lucas is better than Gareth Barry and Scott Parker.

Not one, because they're both better and the only chance anyone would say otherwise is if he's a Liverpool fan. End of.

You can make it out like I'm demented, like I give a ****, you're talking ****e end of. There is not one aspect of the game where he's better. Not one, not even tackling. Nothing.

Read it again, I said dozens of central midfielders. Not every team keeps a place for a limited, specialist defensive midfielder like Lucas so they are not as common as central defenders for example.

I don't see 36 names on the page before me.

He's a terrible wum.

[saj]

He's cracking up: he's cracking!
John Doe's cracking up

Opinions can be refuted, but stats can't. The statistics show Lucas to be the top tackler in the premiership. Apparently no other player made more tackles than him in the top 4 leagues in Europe. Not even your beloved Gareth Barry

Neutrals think Roy Hodgson and David Moyes are better managers than Rafa Benitez though.

The saying quit while you're behind is defo needed here!
