This a thousand times.

Absolutely pathetic lot on here. (not all but some)

Shaqiri would be a brilliant signing. I know he's not a striker, and he's fairly young, but he comes with a decent amount of experience and has been the main man for Basel/Switzerland for a few years already. The goal scoring stats are a bit deceptive considering how little game time he got during his bayern years. Hes talented quick strong and has a great shot, the potential to be a brilliant player and already a very good one

He just about held it together there. I reckon the full waterworks will be out after the last home game against Palace in May.

I have to say Legend is a word that's often over used, but for a guy like Steven, its deserved...without any question or doubt..
it broke all our hearts last season against Chelsea..but we all know it hurt him more.... the guy deserved to win one... but alas it wasn't to be...
Steven Gerrard for all its worth, i say a simple thank you, you have made us very very happy over the years...
and the last 20 secs of that video, well they made me cry also....
YNWA Young Steven...thanks for all the memories

I'm saving my toys for when we buy Defoe. Then I'll be throwing them around like a spoilt brat.

I'm not going to relpy to any replies to this in case it starts an argument. Would like to say that going somewhat OT in the gerrard thread was due to the treatment the giggs one got last season and how i felt the treat allowed was different. I've been sick the last 2 weeks, lost 2 stone and I'm riddled with antibiotic etc and not sleeping so I've been a bit off. Clarified my position on Gerrard in the thread itself, and will discuss it there if people want.

Sorry if anyone was wound up.

Or when we fcuk up in the negotiations for Shaqiri. A few extra toys may be required for that

I'm not overly excited about Shaqiri tbh. If we buy a striker and a keeper as well as him then fine but if it's just him THERE WILL BE TOYS.

Haven't listened to the anfield wrap in ages, does boardman still contribute or what's the story? Follow most of then on twitter and he took a sharp turn down the Rodgers out camp this year whilst most of them seem to be level headed and reasonable he seems to come across as stubborn and set in his ways.

You don't need to read it,the video was posted on the previous page.

he sounds sick to his stomach in that interview and is close to tears.

can't believe that horrible pest rodgers has called time on the career of the champion.

A circus manager? Duffys?

IrishSkyBoxer

don't know why he isn't considering a season in Serie A or France. Could definitely do a job there and pick up a handy league winner's medal. Even City would take him and he could get a few medals playing at the top.

Could it be that Rodgers finally grew a pair and told him he was playing crap and he would have to accept sub or reserves until it improved ? Did Gerard throw the toys out of the pram or really look at how his status was diminishing if he did'nt move and salvage it in the states. Was money central to this ?

He will likely write another book and this would be an interesting part to read.

In that interview Gerrard says Rodgers told him not too long ago he wouldn't be a guaranteed starter this season

Is it the wrong time to bring up a quote surrounding Joe Cole and Messi? :pac:

Gerrard Interview

LFCTV should have it as freeview

Agree about the freeview comment.

Brilliant interview.

Interesting is that he gives the impression that it really is his decision i.e. he was never going to allow his games to be managed. Presumably he will dictate where he will play and whatever else in his MLS club.

A pic of him posing with the LA Galaxy jersey would be nice, just to completely wind up the 'football fans' trying to get the other thread closed.

That interview is heartbreaking.

Cant help but feel there has been a massive misunderstanding somewhere here.

There isn't.

It is pretty obvious that he thinks he can play 30/40 games a season and that he wants to maintain his earnings.

Agent Coulson

michael999999 wrote: »

About £80k a week.

I would imagine Liverpool would have matched that with a new contract.

So he isn't leaving for money reasons.

It must be down to game time.

But he must understand that he cannot.

Everyone has said he is a very humble person and an intelligent player, if that's the case, how can he not see that his appearances and his position must change?

If its a money thing, and it could well be, then that's a different argument.

michael999999 wrote: »

6m dollars is 4m sterling or 80k per week. He was on a hell of a lot more at Liverpool. So what did the club offer that he has accepted 80k for 3 years.

Nonsense platitude.

Particularly about a manager who has never won a single honour in his entire career :rolleyes:

Gerrard. Gifted on the pitch, but a tad dim.

Your way off the mark, out of order here and you should have a bit more respect.

In fairness, and I agree it is a little OTT, he hasn't actually won anything.

I think we might see very little of SG for the remainder of the PL games now that his future is public.

And rightly so. Season is lost so the most important thing now is to prepare for what players will be available next season.

Berahino scored FOUR goals for West Brom today! There's no way we'll be able to afford his transfer fee now. Our season is doomed.

It clearly wasn't a financial decision. If he thought he was going to get 30+ starts in each of the next 2 seasons he would have stayed I'm fairly sure.

Augeo wrote: »

We'll still see plenty of him. He'll start at least 3 from every 4 games when fit.

If the club announced that we were slashing ticket prices and were sending out a nudey calendar of Linda P to every single fan you'd have people moaning about it.

It's just the way the world works.

He clearly holds Rodgers in very high regard considering he wished Brendan was at the club when he was 24. People would do well to remember that before coming on here and talkin ****e.

League is done and dusted. There's too much ground to be made up and too many teams in the way.
That said there's still three cups to be played for so still loads at stake.

Not that I am in any way saying he has anything but the highest regard for Rodgers, but how often do players ever say anything other than glowing things about their current boss? I take most comments about players or management from players or management with a huge pinch of salt.
