Unconfirmed second bit: Newcastle are though to be willing to drop the price if Liverpool send Lucas in the other direction. Seems like a fair move to me. I'd have taken buttons for either Sissoko or Gini. They're both infamous here at the minute. Sissoko more so.

Liverpool get a potentially good player, Newcastle get a much needed experienced lad and a fair bit of money. Hoping its this route now.
