Re: Liverpool Thread
Plenty of off topic BS here, let's get back on topic
I think Captain Fantastic himself is very disappointed at how this season turned out to be. It was looking all so rosy in the beginning, and it's taken such a dramatic turn. Reminds of couple of seasons under Ged, where we were leading around October, and then ended up being 5th.
Stevie being a supporter himself must be gutted that another season has gone by without the title. You can just see how him and Carra look dejected when playing.
@Dags, Nice article. Lucas was one of the hot prospects in Brazil last year, being the player of the season, and Under-21 captain. I remember a friend praising him HUGELY during his Gremio days, and there were rumours of him going to Atletico last Jan (I like Atletico in La Liga), I was pretty excited, but he ended up coming at Liverpool, so even better
I have big, big hopes for this lad. I think our best playing this season came when he was playing in the centre. He has done really well this season, and even though he isn't getting as much attention in the media, he IMO, is PURE CLASS. Watching the Chelsea match, I loved how he and Mash bossed Fat Frank, Ballack, and Makelele. I think he is our most intelligent players, on the ball and off. The short movements he was making in middle were fantastic. And his passing under pressure is sublime.
I think he might be one of the reasons Xabi might be going to Spain in the summer. I love Xabi, but I feel Lucas has all his qualities and even more.
And some transfer rumours for the summer.

David Villa and Fernando Torres sounds tasty! :8):
I would leave to have Bentley as well, but I feel Karim Benzema (hottest talents in France) might not fit us. Though Jeremy Menez (another player we have been linked with) would fit in nicely as he is very versatile, and can on the wings, up front, or just behind Nando.
Anyone else excited by a possible Skrtel-Agger partnership in a couple of years. We know all about Agger, and I think Skrtel was very quick, and excellent on the ball against Chelsea. Even Gerrard was surprised, as he was expecting HOOF!
Though I will still reserve my judgment on Skrtel till the end of the season. Looks great so far, and I am hoping he is as good (or better) for the rest of the season.
