Absolutely crazy if true. I'm not one of Lucas' greatest admirers, but he's the ideal squad player. Can't see how it's better to pay for the privilege of loaning him out rather than having the added surety of Lucas around to fill any gaps from injuries.
I understand he may wish to go rather than warm the bench for most of the season, but he can leave on a free next season either way and surely it's worth a couple of million to have him around.
I would think if we are considering this deal it must mean Allen will be offered a new deal?
I think I will wait and see before I get too worked up over a report coming out of "Turkish outlet FotoMac"
Don't see us carrying 10+ midfielders.
Coutinho, Firmino, Can, Henderson, Grujic, Lallana, Milner, Mane, Lucas, Allen (Zielinski or Dahoud or one other)
Those first 8 highlighted are shoe in's so I would think we would keep Lucas for his versatility/experience and bring in a Zielinski or Dahoud to bed in this season; can't see us getting rid of both Allen & Lucas.
On top of that you have Stewart, Ojo, Brannagan, Kent for cups & emergencies.
