Eds, any recent interests from other clubs on Lucas?
{Ed001's Note - since January nothing mate, but I am sure there will be offers in the summer.}
18 Apr 2017 08:06:46
Really appreciate the reply Ed01. Guess that him leaving is inevitable. Hope that it will be a good move for him.
{Ed001's Note - he will go eventually but his heart kept him here last January, so it is not certain he will leave this summer.}

Would like to see him given a run of games now, I believe he gives us that little bit that's missing when we play the so called lower teams.
18 Apr 2017 09:19:33
A true professional who deserves a new contract. Hope he stays.

Not as a starter but i sure hope he stays as he can be valuable squad player next season when we will have European games (be it cl or europa league)
He is also the longest serving player at the moment and from what i hear is a good influence in the dressing room.

Agreed. And whether he stays or goes, it'd be nice to see him get a testimonial in the summer.

Lucas should be given a testimonial and a new 2 year contract. He is still one of the best holding midfielders in the game and can also do a decent job at the back.
Also, he seems to have taken over the Gerrard mantle of settling new players into the club and giving good advice to the youngsters. As a dedicated professional he is also well respected in the dressing room.
For someone who came from another continent at a young age and was asked to change his natural position, he overcame dogs abuse at first to become the best in his position in the country. After a serious injury he has fought back to be a valuable player in the squad. For me, he was MOM in the Derby game, overshadowing the much-vaunted Guaye.
On top of all that, he actually really loves the club and there are not many you can say that about these days.

Those who slated Lucas through out his time here should forever hang their heads in shame for the way they treated a very good player and a True Red.

It all changed for him when he cut his hair. hahahaha.
19 Apr 2017 10:43:35
it changed for torres too when he cut his hair redrooboy.
19 Apr 2017 14:07:08
Hahahahaha. sure did.

I know this is difficult to comment on but do the Eds know what his focus is? Seems unlikely he'll be a regular starter but likely he'll be in or around the match day squad. Is that going to fit what he wants to do?
{Ed001's Note - his consideration is playing time, he wants to get as much as possible here. If he is not going to even be around the first team squad, then he would be certain to go. While he is in and around the team, playing an active part, then it becomes very difficult for him to leave, even to a club that can offer him guaranteed first team football every week. Despite the boo boys, Lucas has fallen very much in love with Liverpool, both the club and the city, and is finding it very difficult to leave.}
