Surely not? It would be bonkers. Balls to the 'financial sense' angle, I'm sick of hearing it. I swear FSG have turned us all into flipping accounts. And the idea of replacing him with a player like Delph (who tbf doesn't look bad) in mid-season doesn't work for me. Delph has played in Paul Lambert's ultra defensive Villa side, he might be physically superior to Lucas but they don't press the ball, they don't play a high line, they don't get after teams. They simply sit back, deny space and play banks of 4/5. It would take him time to get up to speed at LFC. Lucas is doing a great job at the moment.
It would be sheer folly to let the lad go regardless of the price or the fact hew as surplus to requirements 3 months ago.
