He has the international captaincy, who needs club football?

Fix says Lucas is training with Blackburn in a training only capacity
Explains why they aren't in the premier league or in the playoff spots. Letting a has been like Lucas train with them. FFS.
He is as much chance of going to Brazil as me a 1000/1
:rof: at anyone who thinks Lucas won't be going to Brazil.
Fancy a bet on it MFKFC?
Kaz Patafta is trialling with Brisbane...
will destroy us next season and moon GVE after he scores his fourth goal in 20 minutes. (yep, GVE will also still be coaching next season.)
If he ain't playing as he currently is he won't be going. Postecoglou isn't a fool who will carry him like Holger did.
If he is playing and Ange can find someone better he will still not be going.
There are blokes out there who can do the job. Bailey Wright is a 21 year old Aussie currently doing well at League one side Preston. They are currently fourth and right in the hunt for promotion and Bailey is a first choice corner stone of the team who will eventually be moving to a higher level. Can also play at left back as well as his main position of centre back
Now before you say this level isn't good enough for a World Cup start I will remind you that Luke Wilkshire was playing at this level in 2006 before being put in by Guus and done the job in Germany and then gone onto be a cornerstone of the team for the last 8 years.
Anyway I think Ange has bigger issues rather than telling Luca$h to ****ing retire in how to fit Jesus and Timmy into his game plan. Both of them have to go to Brazil but I think will both struggle under Anges way of playing
You are assuming a lot MFKS. I do not think that Ange is going to make wholesale changes to the team. In fact the only certain change is the goalkeper as Schwarzer has retired from national team duty. What makes you think that in a few trial games plus a month or so before the cup the team is suddenly playing the way of Ange's Roar or Victory. By his own admission it took Victory over a season to implement his strategy. You might find that Ange will play a system to suit the players rather than have the players to suit his system. I do not know what he will do. However I would not be surprised if the team/squad is not much different to what it is now.
Mfkfc - how about a wager..
If lucas goes to brazil in the squad, you don't mention kale for a year. If he doesn't, I put a pic of Michael bridges as my avatar for a year
MFKS has to have hutcho as his avatar for a year?
Or he has to go up to Kale after a NYL game and tell him he'll never make it as a pro
Ange might be the manager but Uncle Frank always has final say. Lucas Neil will be going to Brazil.
Too easy
DONE.
You say Lucas WILL be picked to go to Brazil in the Australian 2014 World Cup squad
I say Lucas will NOT be picked to go to Brazil in the Australian 2014 World Cup squad
I agree to the aviator changes as stipulations of the bet.
Make sure you remind us all of this in May/June when the squad is announced
I do hope though he finds a club for the purpose of this bet so at least Ange has to make a decision on whether to pick him or not.
A 36 year old not playing for 6 months ain't gonna get picked for a world Cup.
