I’m not necessarily justifying it mate, but I think we all understand why the dynamic was what it was. And now he’s running his mouth about us he’s fair game even if many of us fans wished him well through gritted teeth when he left.
In terms of non-deadwood I agree. Been a great player in periods but if we could get north of £70m I’d bite a team’s hand off. Could’ve probably gotten double that after his first two seasons though... hindsight, eh?!
Yeh i know mate. Just thought it was a bit soon for such comments from him tbh, should have a little bit more respect for the team that basically made him imho
If anything I'd say Lucas was our player most likely to be our Coutinho moment...but while we had a sliver of a chance of that in the summer, the odds of getting a Coutinho fee for him are practically nil
Late last season there were pics with him putting ice packs on both thighs after matches He'll be doing that by Christmas at the current rate
