I don't think he's a bad player, but not half the player Alonso is. And he's more of a vigilant defender, in the mould of Mascherano.


What are your thoughts on Lucas? Could he step up to the plate?

Of all the players we're being linked with, I'd prefer Steven Defour. But he is unproven.


Poulsen is just a hard man in the middle really. Not much ability and not very productive, could back Masch up well, but he'd be a step down from Sissoko, so I don't see why we should bother.

Lucas I'm mixed on, people give him some unnecessary stick for no real reason, other than Goodison away in't cup he's never let us down, and he's played in some pretty big games in his time here. I don't really think Rafa has given him a role he thrives off, he's at his best when he can break forward into the box and support the striker. When he's played for us he's just been asked to chase people down and win aerial battles. He's held his own at times, but coming straight from Brazil, it's not exactly what his game was all about back then.

However, I'd like to see him take up a bit more responsibility, to step forward and try and play decisive passes, to have a shot from distance and just try something different. He just seems a bit 'frightened' when he plays, as though he just wants to get on with his work and do as he's told, but I'd like to see him take things on.

I think he'll be given more responsibility this year, I just hope he takes it in his stride and rises to it.

Says who? I would have thought he'd have around half of it to play with, at least.

I hope he gets it all, seen as he's been given very little this summer to spend.

I reckon he'll do well if he goes to Everton away from the pressure of a "Top 4 Club"...

Yeah into (2/1) from (20/1) Apparently! Chairman Ken Bates has also said that a new contract offer would be offered to Beckford in the next 24 hours, Oh well if he was to leave we'll miss his goals but not his link up play, Work effic or Disciplinary issues!... :wink:
Also the reported (SkySports News) £7.5/8m for Fabian Delph is a fantastic piece of business by Leeds United IMO for a 19 year old who has only made 44 First Team Apperances...

Just an architects fantasy proposal. Probably just to get publicity for himself. Building an island in Dubai for a "7 Star" hotel is one thing, but building an island for an 150,000 seat football stadium is a completely different scenario.
