Rumoured Lucas Moura

[Spike 12,049]

He's good. Nice skills and has a great shot, but he looks like Robben. Trying to take too many players on, and should pass more. If he had the right attitude to listen to the manager and sort that out, he'd be a gem of a player.

I agree with that. With the right direction he could turn into one hell of a player.

I rather go after Gotze instead.

Gotze is not leaving Dortmund for at least a couple of years.

Gotze is not leaving Dortmund for at least a couple of years.

I know, but at least we could offer 35mio for him and see, if we are ready to pay 30+ for Lucas (who told he wont be leaving too, but now he is ready to go...).

You never know, one is speculation, other is formal bid and Dortmund might actualy accept 35mio, also Gotze would move to a club with regular starting position and I dont see any problem why he wouldnt start if we only get him for RW (no Hulk or Moses).

Players said all kind of stuff, but when you actualy have offer from CL winners with regular starting position worth 35mio, mind goes other way quickly.

At least we could try...

he was so so unimpressive in Brazil's recent friendlies! he always seems to overdo things by trying to take on another defender instead of passing, he still has a lot to learn, i think anything under £20 Million would be a decent price for him. Fergie probably see's him as their next Ronaldo, personally i think he will be the next Robinho.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I don't think they even need him. That amount could be better used getting a top CM, or 2 decent one's.

£30M? united? unproven at top level? Doubt it.

When was the last time united had that kind of money to spend?

They just floated on the market, Would be a surprise to see them spend that kind of money esp on someone like moura.

Blow for United as Sao Paulo insist £25m-rated starlet Moura will not be sold

United's chief scout Jim Lawlor had flown to Brazil in an attempt to tie up a £25million deal for the playmaker.

He travelled along with club secretary John Alexander is also believed to be on standby to complete the transfer but the 19-year-old looks set to stay put. Sao Paulo claim they have already rejected a £32.4m offer from Chelsea.

Pffft, everyone is labeled as a 'playmaker' nowadays. I'd call him an 'explosive winger' or something.

[Kojo 4,676]

He didnt shine as much in Brazil squad as he does in Sao Paulo. That is what I dont want him

much. He could be best player in the world, but he is just too expensive and when did he turned down Inter? Wasnt Inter his favourite club?

What stupid logic to go by...

What stupid logic to go by...

Should I draw you?

The point was that Oscar was much more efective in NT than Lucas and is half cheaper. Lucas is more Robinho boy, doing all kind of dribbling In brazil, but in NT he tries too hard and isnt as effective as at Sao paulo. I dont realy want him, he could be star but has lot of risk. Lot of brazilians can do fancy dribbles, but not many has the vision and calmless like Oscar.

Foolish for United to even consider signing him. What they need is a battler in the midfield like Kevin Strootman or Axel Witsel.
