I’d rather see a younger replacement come in. Neil hs shown he’s not that interested by turning the contract down nobody else seemsto want him so now he wants to talk, No let him go he is no longer worthy of the shirt or the armband.

Neill is too slow to play RB, his best performances came when he was playing Holding Midfiled or CB. Re-sign him only for a reasonable price.

We need a good RB, but this Mancini fellow is a winger? Didn’t GZ try that with Faubert, which was the start of it all going so wrong for him?? (As he was one of our best players the first couple of games last season undr Curbs.)

Really disappointed with Lucas, he’s at the back end of his career and was offered great money to play regular first team football under Zola. I think he’ll regret his decision as I don’t think any other Prem clubs will come looking for him and he’ll end up playing in a lower quality league, not the best prep for the world cup that he seems so concerned about.

Showed some comitment as skipper but has had better days and has cost us too much already. He’s not exactly getting quicker is he? I think it would be possible to get better for less money, and give Parker the Armband he deserves, and give Upson or Green the vice-captaincy. Sends out one hell of a message to the money grabbers!

I think Lucas will re-sign for us. He has overestimated his value to any other club.
At the right money for one year he would be OK. A good captain. Above all it will show other players at the club that the management will not be pushed around on contracts and the grass may not always be greener elsewhere.

i think we should offer him 45k and strip him of his captaincy and give it to upson if he returns.

He is slow, he’s a thug, a mug and he only started to play when his contract was running out.
GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH.
‘ORRIBLE WEST HAM CAPTAIN.

must agree with peter ,lucas neil as a right back gets caught for pace and i know hes an aussie but does tend to go walkabout,but as a centre back his reading of the game is excellent and he does not panic when he has the ball.if he returns which i would be happy to see i dont think he should have the captaincy though

Im biased. I would like Spector to get a shot at RB. Zola had to see how he performed against some of the best forwards in the world. His two crosses into the box for goals were class. I know most posts here don’t see it this way, but he is only 23. If it doesnt work out you get a RB in Jan.
