Given that we don't appear to be doing any big spending this window (either lack of moeny or FFP), I tend to believe he's here for now. Get the feeling he'll be gone in the summer though.

No team's done any big spending yet though, apart from the Bony deal

Quotes form Rodgers are interesting. No way he's going in jan but come the summer we'll review.
Strikes me me of we want to replace him but don't think we can this window due to availability or money so keeping him and will get rid in summer when can replace.
Good id bit on sky sports app from carragher saying how lucas must play as he's been the lynchpin to an improved defensive display and results etc.
The only signings we would make would be some 15 year old prospect from the lower leagues.

18 Actually...![]()
heard Mings might be a good prospect at full back thoigh?
I'm going to go for the blatant approach instead now; I was taking the piss!![]()
Mis this kid were linked wih from Ipswich any good? Had never heard of him before?

I know, but in all seriousness, I don't think any of us really believes that what Rodgers says in conferences is necessarily what he's thinking/what will happen. In this case, though, I'm guessing it's at least true that Lucas will stay til the summer.


Looking at old targets: would anyone be interested now? Plank's out of contract in the summer as well...
Bundesliga - 'Henrikh Mkhitaryan going to Juventus wouldn't be a surprise'
Mircea Lucescu says that it ‘wouldn’t be a surprise’ if Borussia Dortmund’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan were to move to Juventus.
The Armenian has been linked with a move to the Bianconeri, with the player’s agent Mino Raiola hinting that a move could happen.
Former Inter Coach Lucescu, who is now at Shakhtar, coached the 25-year-old before he moved to the Bundesliga, and says he would fit in well in Serie A.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to see him at Juve,” Tuttosport quotes Lucescu as saying.
“He’s a guy who needs to feel loved and Dortmund have put him under too much pressure. I think his time at Borussia is over.
“I could easily see him playing behind Llorente and Tevez, or indeed any great champions. Mkhitaryan is quicker and a more willing runner than [other rumoured target Wesley] Sneijder.
“Henrikh is a complete player, he creates, wins the ball and counter attacks. Now he has to find the right environment.
“In Germany he’s been greeted with suspicion because he’s Armenian.”
Tuttosport also reports that Juventus have already submitted a bid for the player, which was turned down by Borussia Dortmind.
The newspaper believes that Raiola is trying to engineer the move, and is working with the Bianconeri to make it happen. A bid of €2m for a six month loan is said to have been rejected, in a deal which would see the move become permanent for between €15m and €18m.
Part of the reason for the rejection is thought to be that Dortmund do not want to lose the player for their Champions League campaign, where they will face Juventus in the last-16.
Mkhitaryan wouldn’t be eligible to play against Dortmund as he would be cup-tied, but it’s thought that BVB are unwilling to weaken a side which is languishing near the bottom of the Bundesliga.

Put it this way he is the best young kid I have ever seen at his age and he's already far too good for the Championship. He has got the Iniesta quality about him, his close control and dribbling skills are sublime and he has such a low center of gravity. This Kid has got it all and is destined for big things. There are a lot of the premier league scouts closely following his progress and I only hope that we will get to the Premier League after this season or he will be gone.
Mings is another one with huge potential and again if we don't get promoted this year he will be gone.
