Newcastle want Lucas Leiva included in deal to take Georginio Wijnaldum to Liverpool

 

Newcastle United are interested in signing midfielder Lucas Leiva as part of the deal that takes Holland international Georginio Wijnaldum to Liverpool.

 

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez worked with Lucas during his time at Anfield and is a huge admirer of the Brazilian. It is even thought the 29-year-old could be offered the captaincy at St James’ Park to try and help persuade him to drop down to the Championship.

Would be good, but seems unlikely.

I agree to an extent (give Lascelles the armband), but Lucas is class and would be a starter for loads of Prem clubs. If it meant delaying Lascelles getting the armband for a few years, I don't think it'd matter that much

I've never understood the fascination with Lucas. I've seen him have some good games, fine. But some people rate him way too highly. He's the definition of average midfielder. Better than what we have, and I'd probably get a shirt with his name on the back for the sake of it, but he's not class by any means. IMO

He's a good DM who has above average passing for his position, only natural people would rate him imo.

Doesn't dive or have weirdo style therefore he's nothing like Neymar hence your hatred.

So you've covered Brazil there, what about Newcastle United? [emoji6]

Loving this attitude from the club. We don't have[/] to sell anyone.

 

Five years ago...

 

“The problem is that where we are now financially means that we can never really fulfill the expectations of the fans. They have memories of European football but the gap is ­getting bigger as the years go by.

 

“It is becoming difficult to compete with the top clubs, but that is not to say we can’t compete at the level we are at, but we are always vulnerable to the bigger clubs as Andy Carroll’s move proved."

Never understood the club's attitude before as I thought it put us in a weak position when openly touting the players.  Every club - even the likes of Man Utd are vulnerable if bigger clubs come calling for their players so there is no need to advertise the fact as Pardew regularly did.

I've never really paid that much attention to him before, but maybe he's the diametric opposite of Wijnaldum. Not the same silky touch or obvious class, but heavily involved and gets stuck in. Our defensive midfield is still short IMO, only Tiote has the physical presence required and he's probably going to be sold. If Rafa rates him he probably has good reason.
