"Give me Lucas Leiva and 10 pieces of sticks, and I will win you the UCL" ~ Me
If we are actually looking to sell a player of Lucas' character and attitude, it is such a shame, especially after convincing him to stay in January. Lucas is a model professional, a player we have massively underappreciated and underrated and would have been one of the best holding midfielders if not for injury. I can only wish him all the best as I think he is fed up with such treatment now.
Eventually though, it may give the likes of Rossiter and Chirivella a much needed chance in the first team so could be a plus.

assuming we don't purchase a slightly more experienced player ahead of them, as that seems to be the trend.

I think 70% of liverpool fans don't agree with BR wanting to sell Lucas and I'm one of them, but even so if he won't play him then Lucas has to go really. As for possible replacements I can't see us going for a big price tag player, rather someone who will have a squad role because it would holt Emre Can's momentum in the team. Thiago Motta would be my choice, we wouldn't lose top level experience that way as well. illarramendi would be too much like a Allen/Borini/Lallana signing why buy a player you don't need at a price we don't need to spend to fill that role.

I disagree mate. It's the position we should have made the best signing IMO. Such a crucial position in Football. A CDM / DLP is the spine of your team.

I can't see us replacing him at all. Brenda is so determined to have creative players all over the pith and does not believe we need a dm. Why on earth would he buy another. If he was going to play with an actual dm in the starting 11 then lucas would not be getting sold, he would be happy as he would be playing more regularly. He should be the first name on the team sheet but unfortunately for lfc any type of dm is going to just rot either on the bench or in the reserves until we replace rodgers.

He wants a playmaker in that position someone who could defend also. There are very few in europe and that makes not looking at Morgan a bigger joke. If you could convince Frimino, You could have easily convinced Morgan.

Alonso would have been a very good signing.
