Lucas Moura

Moura never stops working and gets the ball up the pitch, makes defenders turn, and wins fk’s, he’s erratic, but he does more good than harm.

Seems he’s broken now sadly.

Absolutely, think there has been a bit of a disservice done to him, particularly on a podcast I hold very dearly ran by some great contributors to this forum. Seems like some want to reduce his Spurs career to a few key moments, iconic moments at that but it's his constant work rate and ability to get past a man has always been there, alongside a ridiculous heading ability considering his height...

On the game is about glory, Lennon was fondly remembered as if he was George Best or Garrincha, whilst Moura was looked at almost like a punchline rather than a player who was near 40 caps for Brazil who always gave everything when he was on the pitch in our colours.

Of course it looks like it's time for Moura to move on for a new challenge, but he deserves respect for never half arsing it and doing enough to get picked often under the rather odd collection of managers we've had in the various lurches in different directions for our football club.

Agree on Moura. We should have upgraded on him some time ago, but that’s not his fault. He’s always given it his best.
 
his politics stink, but he's seemingly a model professional, I don't recall any moaning when he was out of the side, or filling in out of position

He can trust him
Trust him to do what, I don’t know. I think he is the exact opposite of a conte player but he does seem to like him

Probably because he's a yes man that gets his head down.
As you adhered to , he's not really a rigid , follow the plan type of player , more off the cuff.
 
Transfer notebook: Tottenham allow Lucas Moura contract to expire at end of season
Tottenham have chosen not to trigger the option on Lucas Moura’s contract for the Brazilian forward to stay at the club beyond this season.

The 30-year-old’s most recent new deal was announced until 2024 but it is understood the final season needed activation from Spurs’ end by Dec 31 last month and the option was not taken.

Moura, one of the heroes of the club’s run to the Champions League final in 2019, is free to talk to other clubs about a pre-contract for the 2023/24 season. He could also attract offers in the current transfer window in what is likely to be his final season at the club.

Under Antonio Conte this season, Moura has recovered from a tendon injury to return to action in October but his only starts have been against Sporting Lisbon and Marseille in the Champions League.

During the last window he was subject of interest from Aston Villa but Spurs were not interested in selling the forward, who has been at the club for five years following his £25million move from Paris Saint-Germain.

He has played regularly since arriving in the Premier League but this season has been hit by injury, with Conte using Heung-Min Son, Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski as forwards to support Harry Kane.

Whatever his limitations, and as frustrating as he might have been at times, he will leave as a hero because of Amsterdam - and deservedly so. I don't think I will ever tire of watching the highlights of that game, nor forget the memories of being in a bar in Amsterdam as that 3rd goal went in. And I believe he has loved being here. A good, albeit limited, servant of the club.

FIFY. But in all seriousness, he has etched his name into one of the best nights in the history of the club.

Absolutely this. I loved Lennon, but while being faster than my car, he wasn't quite the world-beater that I remember. Instead, he was an exciting player who stood out in an average team. That team improved during his time at Spurs, with first Modric and then Bale coming to the fore, but Lennon was never world class.

Neither was Moura, except for that one night in Amsterdam, but to rank him far below Lennon would be doing him a disservice. I'd say he's a slightly worse player but in a much better team.

Amsterdam was just crazy
He should have played the final too
 
Thanks for those 20 occasions you didn't frustratingly dribble into a blind alley.
Good luck in your future learning not to support fascists.
 
Did anyone see the reports yesterday that he was about to join Fenerbahce before their deadline closes? I wonder if there was any truth to it? Everyone was saying in January that he would wait and go on a free back to Brazil.

Reported as still being a free which is good for all involved

Gets money off the bill, few more to follow and we could have a bumper summer
