The 20% figure you mention tells it all, thank you.
A couple of clueless posters on this thread have quoted some LFC whingers who don't rate Lucas, as if that's the footballing gospel.
Not so easy to manipulate the intelligent NSC public.

I like this. I think he would be an upgrade on Sidwell and add bite to the midfield, I fancy he'd also be the go-to guy for shutting down the opposition's playmaker.

Just spoken with a Liverpool season ticket holder. Most apparently really rate him and would prefer him to stay at Liverpool. He reckons if we did get him it would be a blinding addition to the team

for the right money, we would have to be interested, sat alongside Stephens we would at least be very solid in front of a back 4.
People are under-whelmed only because its not an exciting signing, but in reality someone who has 300 appearances for Liverpool, however many caps for Brazil is still only 30 and versatile would be a cracking signing.
I suspect a team like West Ham, West Brom etc would be ahead of the Q however, let alone teams from abroad.

Stephens was often alongside Kayal and would think of it more along those terms IF we are looking at Lucas. A Kayal upgrade.
I could see Chris playing Sidwell off a striker at times futher forward of those 2 as he used to do that quite a bit I seem to remember when we had no strikers, and then throw someone more attacking on around 60 minutes if needed. I don't agree with it but think it would be quite a CH tactic and worthy of our trust if chosen. Else a method of 'holding on' late if done in reverse.

He'd be an upgrade on Norwood not Kayal. Same as Cairney would be an upgrade on Towell. Hughton gets that it's a squad game, more than most of our fans
Good post.
Title winning (almost) Chelsea play Matic and Kante in front of the back 5 or 3, making it almost impossible to score against them. Mourinho's gone down that route as well before.
Allowing the attacking rest of the team to do their thing, with solidity behind for any eventuality.

A 25 man squad does focus the mind. Lucas would be an excellent signing.It would however be at the expense of one of the present squad.
That's inevitable. This season's much loved squad will be rejigged with quite a few new players, and people falling down the pecking order. It's either that or be outclassed and relegated.
