Hi ed002, hope your well?

How often do you do the Sharkopods please? Do you expect our targets to change much from the last pod?

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - They will always change to some extent - I have others to do before returning to Liverpool so it will be a little while.}

Where can I find the Sharkopods?

{Ed001's Note - here: podcasts

18 Apr 2017 20:12:14
Many thanks Ed001.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome Goda.}

The Sharkopods are great. Info aside, which is brilliant, love the little musical interludes. The Rolf Harris advert had me in hysterics.

Ok mate that's fair enough. Look forward to it.

Hey ed, is there a chance for one of your quick updates for the names in the Sharkopod with the likely/ unlikely scale? I recall that I have seen you using it on other pages and it is always an entertaining read.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I provided an update on some yesterday.}

Rumours of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Chelsea. Does anyone know of any truth in it?

Thanks!

Believable0 Unbelievable5

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any interest. It would seem very unlikely as Chelsea has two youngsters who much is expected of in the same position - he would not be experienced enough for Chelsea at this time.}

18 Apr 2017 22:29:54
Probably agent trying to get his name out there.

Agree1 Disagree0

Why would he leave? Pretty sure Klopp has told TAA he is eventually bound to replace the supremely average Clyne. Could be our first choice RB for the next decade or so.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Apr 2017 08:33:16
Would be a massively negative to sign to all potential transfer targets if he left. Club with ambition should be holding onto the likes of him.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2017 12:17:23
Should have said negative signal to potential signings - stupid auto correct.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Apr 2017 05:39:52
Eds, any recent interests from other clubs on Lucas?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{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.

Agree1 Disagree0

{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.}

18 Apr 2017 09:18:34
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.

Agree18 Disagree0

18 Apr 2017 09:19:33
A true professional who deserves a new contract. Hope he stays.

Agree23 Disagree0

18 Apr 2017 10:02:42
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.

Agree16 Disagree1

18 Apr 2017 13:20:35
Agreed. And whether he stays or goes, it'd be nice to see him get a testimonial in the summer.

Agree8 Disagree0

18 Apr 2017 15:16:53
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.

Agree12 Disagree1

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.

Agree8 Disagree5

It all changed for him when he cut his hair. hahahaha.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Apr 2017 10:43:35
it changed for torres too when he cut his hair redrooboy.

Agree2 Disagree0

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?

Agree0 Disagree0

{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.}
