Gala move on from Lucas..
Doesn't mean he's staying, could still be off, think he may prefer a move to Italy and a number of clubs are interested..
 
yup.

it then makes no sense to his club to hold him if a decent bid is in now. 10mil euro v 25mil sterling? no contest.

Exactly, tempt them with most of the money we're gonna get for Benteke..
Call their bluff, do they risk losing him for next to nothing compared to his real worth or do they bag a nice bundle of money now..

I would but then its not my money i suppose.

I'd deffo rather him in CM than a 25mil LB. I think we can get a LB for a lot less

If you have a better DM then that could "cover" for a gung-ho LB.. look at Barca, they're FBs are so high up the pitch they play like out and out wingers, but they have Busquets, best in the business, that reads the game and snuffs or helps others to snuff out the danger, we need a up and coming Busquest, is this Dahoud chap that? Don't know, but he comes highly rated and I'd like to take a punt on him!

Yeah, but they lose 4-0 as soon as they come up against decent opposition. <ok>

Didn't do much 'snuffing out' last Saturday <laugh>
 
Bit like we didn't snuff out the Mainz team the following day..
Pre-season fellas...
Come game time, he'll be more 8/10 than 4/10... right now, we have loads of players in that part of the pitch that are never more than 6/10!

I didn't watch that (was it even on), but I really don't think it was taken too seriously. We put a proper shift in against Barca and looked rather good.

Well I was joking but there's an underlying truth to it, imo.
I think a weak FB is going to lose us points over the course of a season in the PL, regardless of how good your DM is.
We need both.
