This signing has a lot of upside whatever way you look at it, which is why Levy deserves credit for this kind of move.

For a start he offers qualities that we dont have too much of, so he could really enhance our attack and importantly our quality in depth.

But the price, as mentioned by others, is staggering given today's market. I know his star has fallen a bit but that's exactly why we're all over it, this is precisely the time to move for a player of this ilk.

His stock is lowish at the moment but there's a lot of untapped potential there which is probably one of the main attractions for us.

Let's not forgot he has contributed, and pretty handsomely, for one of the biggest Clubs in Europe at the moment and we obviously feel he's capable of developing and excelling further, something Pochettino excels in frequently - improving players.
Funny thing is, his star falling has nothing to do with anything he did. He only lost his place because PSG spunked about £300m on Neymar and Mbappe.

It'll take Lucas a bit to get back up to 90' fitness but until then, he will be an excellent option off the bench. Just hope Poch will bring him on when he has enough time to make a difference, which, of course, is very unlike Poch as anytime he makes a change before like 75th minute, it's a small miracle.

Seems a no brainer at that price. Really hope the scapegoaters give him a bit of time before writing him off. As a South American flair player who's spent the last 4 years in a poor league and barely played this season, he's hardly tailor made to hit the ground running in the premier league!

If he scores half a dozen goals for us and propels us up into the top 4, and then stars for Brazil in the World Cup, his value could easily be £75M. Football is fickle.

If he does all that, wouldn't you want to keep him instead of selling him for profit?

Exciting bit of January business, just what we needed. Will no doubt take a while to intergrate and get match fit but when he does will have a lot to prove from what I’ve read about him.
All I need now is Toby to sign a new deal and the Abameyang deal to go tits up for a perfect window.

After 30 days of hope I feel like my sanity is on a knife edge once again - refreshing for any news.

All will be revealed tomorrow - and then I can get back to enjoying the actual football...

Explosive pacey right winger with a bag of tricks to boot at 22 mill, a position we needed to strengthen for ages. Win-win

The wait is because they are shooting some shitty reveal video with Lucas playing the piano, just like the Sanchez reveal for Man U
