Lucas Moura haven't been confirmed yet and we're already comparing him to Theo Walcott. What is going on today? :D

A lot of people here like to poo in their cereal and then complain about the flavor...

I really don’t see how you can confidently say this. Despite being a figure of fun Walcott has had a decent career. He has scored and assisted on a consistent basis in the prem for a long time.

Moura has played in a much weaker league for by far and a way the strongest team in that league and still not stood out.

I hope he is a good purchase but until he has proven himself in much stronger league, in the prem, no one can confidently say he is ‘clearly a better player than Walcott’

16 trophies in his 5 years at the club while playing an important role every season. People are forgetting just last season he was keeping Di Maria out of the squad. People say Lucas flopped because unless he does what Neymar is doing now people would not rate him. So a lot of people call him a failure even though he has played well every season and steadily improved every year. Of course he hasn't reached the heights people expected him to when he was a teenager but comparing him to the likes of Walcott makes no sense because Walcott couldn't hold down a first team spot over the likes of Ramsey and Chamberlain whereas Moura was actually starting over the likes of Pastore and Di Maria. Only out of the squad now because they went ahead and signed two of the best wingers in the world, while Pastore, Di Maria and Draxler are more suited to the squad because all of them can also play in the midfield if needed.

Moura is a far better dribbler and runner with the ball and just a better all round player than Walcott.

Lucas Moura: like we've loaded season 13/14 data in FIFA/PES/FM and significantly increased every attribute of Andros Townsend.

How can people honestly complain about this deal? We're adding another attacking, pacey option - an area we've clearly been short in for a couple of years now - and we're doing it for a bargain price in today's market. He's a winner, he's played at the top level, he's still only 25 years old and we happen to have one of the few managers who has a proven track record of making players better. In this case, a player that Sir Alex Ferguson clearly saw something in.

Worst case scenario? He flatters to deceive and we sell him for roughly the same price, potentially more because, well, Levy.

I hope we wrap this up today and we can welcome our new addition to the squad. Can't wait.

It took him 12 hours to get from St Pancras to Hotspur way!! What are they playing at??!!! :whistle:

He was in a car chase with Conte, he was hanging out of the window shouting at Moura with a contract and pen demanding he sign for them instead, causing them to going around the m25 for several hours.
