Lucas

[Charly]

He is just a bit too clumsy for me... Especially in tackling and especially as a centreback. I am expecting a lot of players in this summer, and cant see him getting a game over the kids. We should sell if receiving an offer, unless he has a future as a coach.

For me the best reason to keep him is that he has a great song

He's out of contract in June. He could get one last payday. Good luck to him.

Love Lucas, ultimate professional and seems a top bloke. Bit of balls about him aswell which is sorely lacking in our side.

Hope we keep him.

Hope we keep him.

heart over head decision that though - if he was prepared to take a reduced contract incentivised on appearances I'd keep him. He makes circa £90k p/w now and we won't give Emre what he wants.....I'd prefer to get Can to have Lucas's wages.

I think he is a great servant but there can be no room for sentimentality in football - one of Fergies great strengths was getting rid when the player was past it.

I'd like him to stay but I think the decision is down to Lucas, presumably he wants more game time than he is getting here, he could go elsewhere and get that if he wants to, he still has a fair few years left in him particularly in a league that isn't as frantic as the PL. But he could clearly still do a job for us if he is happy spending alot of time on the bench/out of the side. It would be a fairly selfless decision if he were to stay as you would say from a career perspective it would be best for him to go somewhere he gets games.

Won't he just end up at the barcodes?

[Slinky Skills]

He has to stay on as a coach. People talk about Alonso as a future manager. Surely this lad has a chance. Universally liked, clearly clever both on and off the field but also a leader.

[Fierce]

He's 30 years old ffs

[RichC]

This talk of him as a coach ffs

30 he's 30!!!

[Kenneth]

But his legs are much older.

I'm not sure I understand why people think certain players would make good coaches myself.

The skillsets are hugely different. Unless you know and work with anyone, it's just guesswork, no?

I think people associate tactically astute players with potential management or coaching roles.
