Move over, I'm not Brazilian!But in Liverpool, we have a Brazilian who has none of the above. Meet Lucas Leiva!
Supposedly the one for the future as claimed by Senor Goatee. In many matches that he played so far in Liverpool colours, I've never seen him putting a decent enough performance to warrant him a spot in Liverpool's bench let alone the first team.
Maybe, that game against Inter in Milan last term. That's the exception.
What is it in him that pleases Rafa that we don't see?
The Fulham draw was concrete evidence that this un-Brazilian guy is not an EPL material. Just look and compare at Denilson at Arsenal, Santo at Chelsea, Robinho at Man C who are about the same age with him.
They're a class above him and performing all things Brazilian that people all over the world crave for. Is he Brazilian after all?
Offload him in January? Do not think he'll make the grade here.

I feel Lucas' role is similar to Momo Sissoko (took a while to remember his name). But Momo was/is (?) clearly better than Lucas in creating chaos and breaking up the buildups in midfield for the opposition. He was also stronger and his tackles more assured. But to provide the amunitions for our front players or as goalgetters, I doubt there's much difference between those two.
Probably Lucas needs more time to mature as a good player, although he has won many accolades in his homeland. But, do we have time and patience on our side when we are approaching new year?
What liverpool need is a player who is equally adept in attack and defence someone like graeme souness, steve mcmahon, paul ince, mike thomas
loose cannon, agreed.
lucas is neither here nor there. Among those mentioned,thomas was purchased and left rotting in the reserves as 'balasan' for the injury time winning goal for arsenal.
His career suffered subsequently.
Karma.
