LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 But, will they be if we get Lucas? And if not, what message will it send to the youngsters training at our academy and the future prospects? I am not against signing great talents from overseas or other leagues in Europe, but we seriously need to learn some man-management at the club. I thought (and still hope) AVB balances the influx well. I dont want any signing that can hamper the development of the deserving home-grown talent. I will back any transfer that keeps this in view.I'd suggest you give up on this dream, it died in 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. 4,352 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I love how killamanjaro refuses to address RZA by his new username Ahah. That's because 'RZA' to me refers to my favorite musician, so it's kinda hard to name some else like this.And to be frank, this isn't because we have Josh McEachran in our team that we shouldn't buy other talented young midfielders.

Swedish House Mafia 508 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I always trust the opinion of Henrique when it comes to Brazilians lol. If I don't know much about a Brazilian and he says that he's shit then wherever I see that player I know he's shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't know much about a Brazilian and he says that he's shit then wherever I see that player I know he's shit.Henrique is a Neymar/Santos fanboy... He would never admit that an opposing team has a promising player like Lucas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 People keep saying Buying Lucas would hinder Josh's progress....but would it Really? They are 2 Different types of Players. Lucas is a Fast Attacking midfielder with good Trickery and Dribbling. Josh would be more of a Meireles type, a technical CM, with good all round Skills but not Nesseccarily the Creative Spark to overhaul our team. Both could play in the Midfield, although it would Make our Midfield a bit Small-ish, so both would need to Bulk up a bit but it is Possible to have both in our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We need more players in the centre.Lucas's arrival will probally mean the end for one of the ageing midfielders if anyone not Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feroze 487 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We bid 30 million last week for him.. 35 million a few days ago After Neymar he is the best player in Brazil right now. The only club other than us who is interested in him is Inter, but to get Lucas they need to sell Sneijder, however they made an offer or Lucas but in installments, which Sao Paulo rejected.
