From a financial point of view, (and I know I'll get slammed for this) I can see the benefit of taking 7 million quid for Lucas if that's what's on offer. He's probably never going to be worth that much again in his career, and well though he is playing right now I think most people would accept that in the fairly immediate term, we ARE going to need a more mobile central midfielder.
Is Fabian Delph that man? I'm not so sure as he definitely is more of a box to box type than Lucas, but he is a far better player than many on here are giving him credit for that's for sure.
