Anyone heard the rumour that Inter have made an offer for Lucas? I know the eds have said he is interested in moving, but if Rodgers sanctions this then we truly are done for as there is no one else in the squad who can do what he does. Gutted that he feels he has to leave because of BR.

{Ed002's Note - Why would this be a shock. I have explained over and over that it would be happening.}

Probably should have thought of that before we started leaving him out of the squad, maybe then he wouldn't have wanted to leave?

On reflection it's not really a shock, but it shows even more poor management by BR in letting go the only competent player in that position. Another one Brendaned.

Its a shock as he helped change results around you'd like ti think we'd have the sense to keep him until the summer

Hang on, many one here were slagging the lad off a few weeks ago. Typical this.

Lucas should have been gone at least 3 years ago from Liverpool. Can will prove to be far better than him.
It was about time.

in the last 6 weeks Liverpool remained unbeaten in 12 out of 13 matches in all competition. The only match we lost was against ManU when Joe Allen replaced Lucas. I am excited to see Joe Allen coming back when Lucas leaves.

And you think this is because of Lucas? Funny stuff!

Hello Pirate!
Look at the stats of the matches without Lucas. Only two wins. You do not have to score to win matches. Lucas' presence offers stability in the midfield. Today for instance he was pressing high and won some brilliant tackles which lead to counter attacks.

If Lucas was so poor 4 consecutive managers (Benitez, Roy, Kenny and BR) won't have made him their first choice CDM.

I don't see Can as a replacement CDM. From what we've seen of him so far he has the same weaknesses as Stevie in that role. He doesn't read the game defensively and is too prone to wandering into an attacking position, plus he doesn't cover other players. He's far more effective box to box like he was today, sat alongside a CDM like Lucas. His energy would be wasted sat in front of the defence.
