Lucas (Stoke)

Tony Pulis has launched a £4m bid to sign Liverpool midfielder Lucas in the New Year.

 Stoke boss Pulis is ready to move for the Brazil international and offer him a fresh start at the Britannia Stadium.

Lucas nearly joined the Potters in the summer on transfer deadline day but Roy Hodgson scrapped the deal hours before 6pm.

But Pulis will step up his attempts to land the 23-year-old in January as he bids to boost his midfield.

Lucas has played the last six games for Liverpool but could be allowed to leave if Hodgson needs to raise funds.

£4m? That's an insult. He has started consistently in our squad going on 2 years now. We start at 11-12 million minimum imo.

£4m ? Tony Pultheotherone !

£4M

£10M, no less.

How's about we give you £4m & Poulsen, that's a fairer deal.

Doubt we will get anything over 8 million.

Heard Palermo offered £3-4 million in summer for him?

I wouldnt mind selling him and give better chances to shelveyfor first team football. But how can a player we buy for 6 million devalue, despite playing 3 seasons in the first team squad and won caps with Brazil down to 4 million?

6 million minimum but would want 8 to be fair

If him leaving means Poulsen becomes regular in the starting XI then I would rather have him stay

Shall we have a f***in laugh at that?

Lucas, whether people like it or not, is consistent. I want to hold on to him if we are only going to get pocket change for him. He completed like 46-48 passes against Bolton. I just think no one is meeting our valuation of him so why sell him?

I actually like Lucas.

He isn't Gerrard, Alonso or Mascherano class but he puts in effort, determination and wears the shirt with pride. There's nothing better than knowing your player is willing to give his all for the love of the club.

I know there are better players out there but I'm only willing to let him go if we can get a better quality replacement.

If it meant we could try and get someone like Diarra as a replacement then i would say the words...sell sell sell!

I'd take £6M I think.

If Lucas puts in more performances like this month, his price is going to shoot sky high.

Are Stoke taking the piss? I wouldnt sell him anyway, John Henry has been talking about young players and Lucas is one who has been progressing well recently and has shown flashes of great ability during good perfomances.

For such a great player isn't it amazing how little appears to be offered for the lad, saying that £4 million is low.

Think Lucas should stay, 4 Mill is a joke. Try and sell Poulsen instead, just tell Pullis he's Lucas's older brother

4 mill is an insult, firstly we bought him for 6 and he's improved alot so his value will have gone up, he's an international and has started to be a very consistent member of a top premier league team. I wouldn't want to sell him, let go of Poulsen first but if needs be, I'd take 8-10 mill.

Haha is Pulis serious 4m for a Brazil regular?

Get lost.

Pulis needs to go to specsavers and get his eyes re-tested for surelly he has lucas confused with poulsen.

Four million my arse. Sod off Tony. We'll give you Poulson for free as it would appear that even Roy now sees that he makes Lucas look good

For such a great player isn't it amazing how little appears to be offered for the lad, saying that £4 million is low.

I'm going to personally offer Barca $20 for Messi to be my gardner but he isn't worth that is he? Doesn't mean jack all how much is offered.

4m is a joke but that covers the cost of Poulsen's transfer doesn't it?

£4M for Lucas is an absolute joke. I would put his value at closer to £10M in the current market.

He has been with us for three years and been fully capped by Brazil while here so to value him at less than what we paid for him is ridiculous whether you rate him or not.
