Btw from what i see this quite simply down to MONEY not desire to win or happiness. Just more money and lots of it.
Quite the club captain

yet

seeing as it appears to be money. **** him and good riddence. :mad:

Cheers for the CL Stevie.

randomfella

I'm surprised tbh never thought he'd go, just thought it was the media stirring it all along.

dudara

Prior to Champions League, I thought that he'd go for sure, then afterwards, it seemed like he wanted to stay, even though I'd have been happy to see the end of him. Let him go, I say. There's no point in having a captain who has all these rumours and speculation hanging over him

From the LFC website


Liverpool FC today issued the following press statement regarding Steven Gerrard.
"The club has made it crystal clear we want to keep Steven at Anfield. Sadly, he has told us this afternoon that he will not accept our offer of an improved and extended contract because he wants to leave Liverpool. We very much regret the decision he has taken."

Id agree with that statement if it was only one or 2 tabloids reporting it but every medium was reporting the situation tv, radio, press. so it was quite obvious that there was an issue.

Come on the glazers make Stevie Gerrard your first buy.

LOL that would be funny indeed but i doubt it , Unless they were to offer at least 10 more million than Chelsea pool wouldnt accept any offer from Utd.

Let him **** off the money grabbing basterd. I hope he goes to chelsea and carra twats him.

Big Nelly

Where would CHelsea play him? it has already been seen that him and Lampard are crap playing together!!! and I cant see him take Makele(sp) place in midfield....so play him as a winger or something!!

Davey Devil

W*nker. I'm not a Liverpool supporter but I'm really annoyed that a player could do this to his hometown club. There's no loyalty left in football. I hope Liverpool fans make his life a misery from now on.

Ronan|Raven

Let him go anywhere I wouldnt care. he has really shown himself in a great light in all of this. The only bonus is unlike McMoneyMan and owen before him this time Liverpool will make some real money out of the players departure. 35m stg would buy a few decent players for the team.

county

i cant see him going abroad so it looks to me like chelsea will get him

Headshot

Real will be his next club

i wouldnt think he go to another british side because the liverpool fans will harress him so much life will be unbareable

The Clown Man

Duff, Gerrard, Lampard, Robben

With Makalele behind.

One up front.

And I think if you give Lamps and Gerrard a season under Mourinho they will be class together.

Roll on the second Chelsea £32m bid!

colster

He's over-rated anyway. If they can get 35m+ for him they'll be laughing.

Mitch Connor

i'm hearing he is NOT off to chelsea but that he IS off to Real Madrid, they would not put a bid in til he put in a transfer request and Liverpool have just recieved a bid from Real.

The Clown Man

In fairness, Real need him more than Chelsea.

He could really bring that team up.

Ronan|Raven

Barca are now tabling an offer of 37m

Hehas been booed to the last leaving melwoodapparently. The locals are none to happy and who could blame them.

How can i leave after a night like this?

What a money grabber, theres only 2 things i consider positive about this

1. Carragher will get the armband.

2. Rafa will have a big transfer kitty

Ronan|Raven

Aye Carra will finally get the captaincy. You would never see him do this id say he is livid with his good mate Stevie.

kaimera

wonder about the effect on Carra it'll have then given them being mates and all.

alfie

Carra is liverpool through and through i dont think it'll effect him too much sure isnt owen his best mate and look at the season carra had after he left

yop

The money grabbing cu*t, as a football fan this fkn stinks, I hope he rots on the bench, what comes around goes around, he will be another McStupid haircut and end up playing for Man City!

Leaves pool with a dangerous amount of money now though! Could see a big money move for Essien and Guti with Wright-Phillips! Sh*te!
Or else they could blow it all on tracksuits and perms

What a prick.

apart from Paul Scholes ?

He'll be off to his boyhood hero's Oldham next season.

mr_angry

Is that a bridge I smell burning? Anyway, I don't think there's a chance that Liverpool will sell him to another English club. Not when their Spanish counterparts will put up just as much money, and they wont have to watch him playing in the opposition team week-in-week-out.

Right enough, Real said they wouldn't put in a bid for him unless he puts in a transfer request, and then lo and behold, he puts in a transfer request. My money would be on him joining Mickey Owen unless Barca can top that offer.

SWP - 20-25mil
Essien - 20-30mil
Guti - 2-5mil

Not sure how you would buy all those players for 35mil......

Headshot

its all about money these days

what ever happened playing for the team you love and grow up in

yop

SWP - 20-25mil
Essien - 20-30mil
Guti - 2-5mil

Not sure how you would buy all those players for 35mil......

Sorry plus the monies got from 5th place in PL, TV revenue from CL, winning CL.

Must be another 30 million from them 3??

LizardKing

He's gone down in my estimation ... The way he dealt with the whole saga they were trying to make out Rafa had a bust up with him but it appears he's lookin for more money nothing else ... hopefully he'll feel the same regret Michael Owen feels after leaving last season and missing out on Champions League medal .... Hope they get in a few big names now and beef up the squad with some talent ...

TheMonster

As far as I can see he says he is not signing the contract - don't see anything about a transfer request. Why would he? He knows Liverpool will put him on the tranafer list if he rejects it.

spockety

Stick him in the reserves for 2 years and let his career ROT.

No mention of a transfer request though - he would be an idiot to do that - he knows they will sell him if he refuses to sign a new deal. RM will come in if he is on the transfer list regardless of how he gets there.

you mean on Reina? the other 3 cost nothing (for now anyway)

cournioni

Wouldn't worry too much about losing Gerrard if I was a Liverpool supporter, Xabi Alonso is their best midfielder anyway. I'd sell him for as much as possible and then buy a real midfielder that isn't hyped up to the last by the British media.

Sad to see him go but we've lost out on players such as McManaman and Owen before and Stevie has always said when he leaves he didn't want to see us shafted - he's asked for transfer with 2 years left on his contract so we're going to get a fair price (I hope) and in my opinion he owes us nothing and is saving us 20mil in wages.

I wish him well in his future career but hopefully not at the expense of Liverpool, I'd hope to see him go abroad from here but I guess it's his decision.

yop

Gonzalez is on loan, Zenden is free, Barranga is free, Reina they spent money but at most 5m, so where is the other 25m?

~Rebel~

**** sake. Must say am unimpressed with him. Obviously all the stuff about them trying to push him out was ass anyway with him now saying he rejected the 100k a week offer. How can anyone need more money then that?!? Most people would kill to represent their childhood hero's and be a pivatol part to them trying to return to the glory days. If he wont accept 100 thousand pounds a week for that, **** him. He could have been remembered forever as a legend and hero instead of now being just a nother player at a bigger club. Right thats enough ranting, screw crouch lets bring in someone top class. could maybe sell him to real and get pablo garcia and juanfran or guti plus 25mill or something as part of the deal..

Dont think it really matters to the price either how he gets transfer listed as theres more then one club interested so they will drive the price against each other. If chelsea do get him, real will make sure they have to pay big money!

On another note i think someone english has to come in now, carra is the only one left, maybe a concrete move for upson? or Joey Barton for about a million for those filthy away winter games!

<edit> I Think Reina is coming for around £8million. Gonzalez if comes permanent after this season is £4.7m. Without selling gerrard would still have had about 7 or 8 mill judging from what they were saying of signings so could have u to 40m to spent after all this, plus a saving of 5mill a year on his wages!

HashSlinging

40m to spent after all this .......

- they only have until the 12 july to buy players. Otherwise they will be cup tied for games in the CL, so liverpool better get their finger out LIKE !!!!

~Rebel~

That dealine is ONLY for the 1st round. Obviously our Under-12's could beat TNS so dont worry about that. We have loads of time to buy before the 3rd round's deadline which is the important one as could get some real opposition there, noone of merit unseeded in the 1st two rounds though.

Töpher

12 July is QR1 for CL, I would imagine the players Liverpool are going for would be in teams who at least start in QR3 (mid-late August I think).

HashSlinging

Thanks for putting me right on that. Damn G/F! with her fear mongering. :rolleyes:

Good riddance, money grabbing twat. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
