So, what does everyone know about Lucas other than youtube videos and the fact hes rated 82 on FIFA?

He probably played that due to a severe lack of wingers on the tour.

He's quality on Football Manager.
But seriously, personally don't really watch Brazilian football apart from the odd game on ESPN.

Would be near impossible to play that in the league considering how much we go to the wings and the wingers we have.ViVaRooney wrote:Drew wrote:Is is Kagawa automatic starting 11?

Not sure if true, but I read in the paper a couple of weeks back that Welbeck is currently only on something like 16k a week, because he's still on the same contract he's had for like 4 years. But yeah, his agent was trying to get him a new deal on closer to 60k a week.

He's going to sign a new one very soon.Jelavić7|EFC wrote:Not sure if true, but I read in the paper a couple of weeks back that Welbeck is currently only on something like 16k a week, because he's still on the same contract he's had for like 4 years.

Only Rooney, Evra and Carrick are automatic first XI. Nobody else is guaranteed a spot, and of the players we're linked with the only way this could change is Baines might knock off Evra if we sign him. Lucas and van Persie are not good enough to change it.

Hopefully Vidic will be back in that category this season.

Surely De Gea is an automatic starting choice.

That remains to be seen. De Gea hasn't started over Lindegaard in the Premier League since the Blackburn game, although the latter was injured from just after the Arsenal game to the end of the season.

I thought De Gea really came on leaps and bounds after his shaky start. Added to the fact that Lindegaard remained second choice to Andersen at the Euros, I think De Gea has the edge in the No. 1 battle.

He probably has the edge, but he not a certainty. If he doesn't sort his game out when it comes to corners then he needs to be replaced. We would definitely have won the title last season if we'd kept hold of van der Sar.

why? none of his mistakes cost us the game, his major mistakes came in matches we won
i guess the blackburn was the only one that cost us, but that match was a joke anyway
and lets not forget VDS fucking us up against West Brom, having VDS wouldnt have guaranteed no mistakes

Fantastic on the ball, quick and agile, but has had a tendency to lack the end product, and dwell on the ball a little too long, at least in the past. Looks like he might have improved considerably in that department (end product) this year though. Lots of potential.

I'm not talking about mistakes, I'm talking about his pre-pubescent physique making him unable to win the ball at corners, examples include the defeat in the FA Cup at Anfield and the defeat at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League where opponents blocked him off at corners. The latter was extremely costly.
Of course there was also the holocaust he had against Blackburn Rovers, among others.

Something people might not know, apparently he is pretty good at tracking back and defending in general.Viva Ronaldo 7 wrote:So, what does everyone know about Lucas other than youtube videos and the fact hes rated 82 on FIFA?

I expect a better season from him in those areas, I remember the Norwich game where he was excellent at those things you mentioned, now that he knows some of the language and has (hopefully) fully settled in he'll be better. I don't think the Olympics will help him though since Lindegaard will start the first few games.

How is learning the language and "settling in" going to help him win the ball at corners?

So, as predicted, we don't seem to be going for another central midfielder, instead opting to spend another £50m or so on players that we don't need. When we get dicked over in Europe again next season how many of you are going to fall into line with me over Ferguson?

Settling in as in settling in to the league, he just said so himself today that he found it difficult at first.ResurrectionRooney wrote:Kuled wrote:I expect a better season from him in those areas, I remember the Norwich game where he was excellent at those things you mentioned, now that he knows some of the language and has (hopefully) fully settled in he'll be better.

if we avoid huge injuries in midfield we will be fine.ResurrectionRooney wrote:So, as predicted, we don't seem to be going for another central midfielder, instead opting to spend another £50m or so on players that we don't need.

I think Ferguson should go anyway, but 5 seasons without Champions League success is too much for a club like Manchester United. This is only a question of whether people will realise it if the same flaws that have been exposed in 2009, 2010, 2011 (twice) and 2012 are exposed again, or whether they'll continue to bury their heads in the sand and pretend it's all part of a masterplan.

then madrid must be a shit club
you really dont understand the CL do you. judging managers/teams based on CL performance is ridiculous, its such a luck based tournament. the best team does not win it 80% of the time. your obsession with it is getting boring and pathetic now

Unless he puts on about 3 stone he'll find it difficult until he moves to another League as well, and from the looks of him in Spanish U23 games he doesn't even lift.

Ah yeah, we're golden then.
Fletcher - Chronic and incurable bowel condition, only being kept around out of sympathy + because he has another 3 years on his contract
Scholes - 37 years of age, nearly 38
Giggs - 38 years of age, nearly 39
Cleverley - Highly injury prone
Anderson - Extremely injury prone, overweight
Do you think avoiding huge injuries in midfield is even remotely likely to occur?
