I think a loan would be a good option but most likely will have to buy.

Fellani from across the park would be an amazing signing in that position or even Rodwell given Everton's financial woes. Tiote would be super but Newcastle will get fed up with being a feeder club soon!

Lee Cattermole is another that will be linked but I'm not sure as to what he'd add.

I guess the Suarez/Evra saga may take a back seat now that the police have handed their findings over Terry's comments to the Crown Prosecution Service. Will be interesting to see if the CPS decide to prosecute or if there is enough in the police file for them to do so.

It would need to be the level of player that Kess is on about and so will cost a fair bit. Needs to not just be a DM, though Lucas has improved in that area, somebody who could slot in beside Lucas when he's back, in the Adam role.

Eh Why not ? Our squad is still fairly light in midfield, now even more so . Its a necessity we sign at least 1 defensive minded midfielder in January.

I have to say though, this is no time to be spending money on replacements. We have a squad, time to use it. Lucas will be back, please Fowler!

The only positive I can draw from this is that of all the players for it to happen to, Lucas is the one with the greatest degree of mental strength and determination to help him through it

Dcully

Absolutely gutted for the lad,really concerned he may never be the same player.

Probably Ilovelamp.

Sure he's got what he wanted now. Watch us soar without that average player who is not good enough for Liverpool FC!! :rolleyes: (The Lucas thread is hilarious, by the way. The Muppet and Boggles.......greatly missed! Words of wisdom, as usual! And of course, the word 'delusional' came up for our love in with Lucas)

Super-Rush

I wonder was it coincidence that Flanagan played as a DM against Wolves?

No matter how much you and other wants Kelly to be first choice - it is not he case. Johnson is first choice and Kelly is backup.

No odds to me. Kelly offers better defensive protection which is going to be needed.

I can't remember an injury that's upset me this much ever

Not sure I can explain exactly why - maybe it's that I/we've been on a journey with him since
he was booed and dismissed by so many inside and outside the club to the point he's
established himself as top class.

It just seems horrifically unfair to the club, to us and to him
The possibility of him not getting back to the player he is is just horrendous and yet very
real with the injury he's picked up.

Swear to God I'm never like this over injuries or players
Fuck it

Banega gone from your radar Kess?

Also, sh93, obligatory YT clip:

Nope I still rate Banega, but I reckon the lads I named could do the Lucas job with Lucas out as well as play well alongside Lucas.

Banega I reckon would work very well with Lucas, but I don't think he could do what Lucas does to the level Lucas does week in week out.

Anyone got Henry Shefflin's phone number for Lucas? He got his cruciate fixed up mega quick for the All Ireland last year.

He didn't exactly last very long though if you remember

Just thought I'd check-in on the forum to guage the level of despair.

Yes it's a massive challenge to lose such a pivotal player. It'll be a big test for Kenny to tweak the system and tweak it I think he will because he won't want to rely solely on Spearing.

It's a massive opportunity for Shelvey. Stevie's return can only be a positive and Spearing has shown himself to be reliable. Henderson will surely get more time in the centre, too.

Fookin hell though, didn't think it looked like a serious injury... Won't get a chance to lift the League Cup in March or whenever it is!

Is Aurelio injured?

Didn't he play a defensive midfield role a few times under Rafa?

At Valencia he was used as a central midfielder under Rafa at times, and yes a few times for Liverpool.

Defensively still sound enough with Johnson, Carra, Coates, Flanagan, Robinson and Aurelio as back up.

Front 3 not bad with Maxi, Kuyt and Carroll to come in.

I know he can't be relied upon, but with him, Spearing, Henderson and Shelvey all in the squad, Liverpool will be OK. Lucas is a massive loss, no doubt but do Liverpool really need to play a defensive midfielder against some of the weaker teams?

Agger would be a beast of a defensive midfielder, but I can't see Kenny deploying him there, not when he's playing so well at centre back at present.

Spearing played the last 9 games for us last season and was excellent in many of those.

He's a good player.

While he is no Lucas, the above seems to have been forgotten by most people.

Would be mental but Carragher could be used as a defensive midfielder if we were DESPARATELY stuck.

No chance.

Now Agger on the other hand ......

Images of Carra hoofing the ball out for corners constantly.
