LOL! Are we all going to gather outside Tescos for the next 4 months to raise the 40m required to buy him????

So if Villa did decide to waste his last real chance of success of his career at Liverpool, where would that leave this 20 million pound Italien we have just bought if Gerrard drops back into midfield.

well i would think that the rumours of mash's sale already being agreed with barca would be true in that case ged ...... after all how else would we raise the money for villa?? then it would be stevie alongside aquaman

We never do big business in January. No one really does.

I still personaly dont think Gerrard is a top class central midfielder myself it's been nearly 5 seasons since he had a long sustained run in that position. If you look at Liverpool's biggest and most important matches in that time the central midfield partnerships have nearly always been Alonso alongside either Sissoko or Mascherano, just dont think Gerrard has the discipline to play there as the Champions league final in Istanbul proved where Gerrard's first half performance was a disgrace, even the waiter realised after that.

i agree with you there - i have never been a fan of him as a central midfielder, he tries too hard to be a hero and forgets that it is a team game leaving us exposed

no game demonstrated that more than the first half in Istanbul his woeful display of trying to be the big hero and lack of positional discipline gave Milan's midfield the time and space to cut us to ribbons, only when a more disciplined central midfielder in Hamann came on where we able to stem the flow and get a foothold in the game.

He has grown up a bit since then. Maybe now he will have the discipline. Maybe he'll get put on the right again and Lucas will stay in CM?

there is no way in a million years Gerrard is a forward. I know he plays in that position now and for most of the time we get away with having him there but for me he is no forward, all his main attributes are midfield ones like tackling, shooting, passing, crossing and scoring a few goals. As i have said previously he is the best all round player in the world by a mile but not special in one position.

The only disciplined midfield players are defensive ones. Stevie has never been one of these. He has always got forward as attacking midfield players are supposed to. He's not a Mascherano, he's not an Alonso, & he's not a Sissoko. He's all 3 & more!
