Lucas out for three months

Wow ... I hope he makes a full recovery. He's been so healthy and the first injury came as he was becoming a very imposing midfield player, and now this?
 
He felt a twinge in the warm up. I know you're usually told to see how it is after running around for a while but when you've just come back from a long lay off I'd have thought our super scientific medial staff would urge some caution. Poor bloke, he must be absolutely gutted.
 
Second thoughts on selling Spearing now maybe? Not entirely comfortable with the idea of not having a single DM at the club for 3 months.
 
On that note, if M'vila is available for 12-15 million now, it's the cheapest we'd get him (given that he hasn't really been in the best of form for a while). I'd be sorely tempted as it'd be tying up our DM position for years to come.
 
This could seriously fuck our transfer plans. If Spearing and Adam are gone, our midfield consists of:

Gerrard (sicknote) Sahin (sicknote) Allen (OK I think) Hendo (wish he was a fucking sicknote)

That isn't enough.
 
Oh, forgot about Shelvey. Still. We're one injury away from Hendo being a must play midfielder, and that can't be good.

True. Strange that we started him. It isn't unusual to get other injuries after such a severe injury Lucas had.

Yes, especially after Gerrard picked up every niggle going as he tried to ease himself back. Very frustrating.
 
2-3 months for Wonderman can be sooner than that. he showed that with the knee injury.
We still have Sahin, Gerrard, Shelvey, Hendo and Allen. If we sign Dempsey he can play in midfield aswell.
Suso can play there aswell in Europa League/ cups.

Spearing will leave. Hopefully Adam aswell.
 
Ah those defensive qualities we desperately need. Just looking at the performances against West Brom and Man City you can see what he offers to the team.

He was slightly above average in the crappest midfield Liverpool have fielded in my lifetime last season, but he shouldn't be needed this year.
 
Why the optimism on recovery time?

He's only had one major injury in his time with us and he was out for exactly the time the medics said (June 2012)
 
Also it is amusing that literally one moment we have too many midfielders and there are guys wanting to flog off two or three. Then after one injury we need to buy.
 
Sad for the player but I'd rather see Allen Sahin Gerrard and Shevely play. Not to mention Suso and Henderson as well. And we still have Adam too. Loads of cover
