If tabloids are to be believed, Lucas Moura is heading to Old trafford with a bid of 26million pounds. I for one will be gutted to see Lucas at Old Trafford. What happened to the 35m pounds bid we made for the guy last season which was rejected. Roman, please don't let Lucas go to Old Trafford. Lucas can play well as a RW and if we bid 30m pounds far less than Hulk's price and with a lesser salary to booth. Yes he is a little bit raw but imagine what a superstar he will be if carefully nutured. Please Roman, whatever you do,,, don't let old red nose have Lucas.

 
We bid for him, it was rejected, said he wanted to stay until 2014. Don't see him going to united. If we were to get him, we'd have one of the best attacks in the world within 3 years, hazard, Mata, Lucas, pace, vision, trickery..

 
No point in buying a player just so another team can't have them. It's either him or Oscar, we can't have both. He would get more games over there too as both our wings are already sufficiently covered without another purchase to be honest.

Don't forget Oscar plays RW too so I don't really see the problem, sucks that United will get him but oh well you can't win them all.

 
With Oscar coming and the club focus on Hulk as well at the moment we wont be in for Lucas - think he is a tad overrated as well

 
The BBC are loving their Utd press stories at the minute.

 
What I don't understand is not long ago Lucas said he was staying in brazil (like neymar) till 2014. Now all of a sudden he's linked to manure...?

 
Good player but I don't think we need another small and tricky guy. That's what hazard 'n marin were signed for. Oscar suits us more - vision, links defence with attack and is hard working.

Still would prefer he went real or inter though obviously.

 
I don't understand the hype for this guy, even the youtube videos don't make him seem that good. Yes he is fast, but so are walcott and lennon. Obviously I must be missing something for so many clubs to want him, but personally I wouldn't be too gutted if he went to united.

 
He'd also replace nani I reckon. So don't think he'd make them that much stronger.

 
The guy is a future best player in the world, fair play to untied if they get him

Some players will always be linked with other teams even if they've said they're going to stay. It's the same with Neymar.

And maybe Lucas really liked ManU, so even if they want him a bit sooner than he wants to leave he might change his mind and go for it just to be able to play for ManU.

 
Potentially their biggest and most important signing for many a year IMO.

Reading the views of many United fans they are more excited by the prospect of signing Lucas than they are at getting RVP. Rightly so.

Anybody calling him a Walcott and Lennon clone are talking nonsense. Reminds me of those folks last close season saying Aguerro was overrated and too lightweight for the EPL !

The power, pace and trickery Lucas has when running with the ball is superb. I'm excited at the prospect of him coming to the EPL, only wish it was with us.

 
Exciting times for the big teams.

City have Aguero

ManU have Lucas

Chelsea have Hazard

Arsenal have Walcott

Liverpool have Downing

Spurs have Lennon

:biggrin:

 
Anyone else find it strange that Fergie is suddenly very talkative about his transfer targets as he is usually very loathe to be so chatty.

 
I saw Lucas Moura play in a friendly quite a while ago (must be a couple of years) and I was stunned by how fast he was over a short distance. Stunningly quick. I think Oscar is a bit more of a rolls royce to Moura's Ferrari - and I like that.

Roman is rich enough to afford a Rolls Royce and a Ferrari.

Ferguson really wants the kid. Had one bid turned down and has gone straight back in with another higher offer.

Only found out today that Lucas was at Juve as a boy.

 
I think if Fergie really wants him he will get him. That would be two useful signing Man U will have made.

More of a replacement for Young but yeah he won't make that much of a difference to them unless he can play in midfield which I don't think he can.
