G'day Eds,
Do you know if there is any truth that Newcastle are interested in Lucas? He said some time ago he would like to stay in England and a reunion with Rafa just seems like a nice idea all round.

{Ed001's Note - Rafa would love to sign him, but he needs to get rid of some first.}

Could use him as a bargaining chip to get GW lol.

This is certainly possible with Wijnaldum coming this way. Selling a DM and buying a B2B player.

Lucas is too good for the championship.

Wijnaldum is not a box to box player, he does no tracking back! did you watch Newcastle at all last season?

Cant see Lucas being willing to drop down to the championship though! I'd hate to see him leave personally as I love Lucas, but unfortunately it doesn't seem as though he's going to get the minutes he needs to stay :(

Second that, Lucas is one of my favourite players! would be sad to see him go, but i'm sure the club won't be sentimental like the rest of us.

Newcastle or Turkey. I think I would settle for the championship thanks.

I'd be confident that he would help them get promotion and be back in the Prem in one season. He's a great guy and a fine player. Watching him making forward runs and actually get into the box these last few friendlies has been a joy. He did used to score goals back in Brazil. I think he deserves to be somewhere that he is loved and appreciated and It'd be great to see the welcome he'd get on his return to Anfield in 17/ 18. (or in a cup match this season) :)

I love Lucas too but he's far too inconsistent season after season. A move to the Magpies could do him good. At the end of the day I would back them to come straight back up then he would be in the PL under a good manager like Rafa, worth the gamble for Lucas in my opinion.
