Souness did a similar thing with letting Beardsley and Houghton and some of the others go too soon.

Thats why Ferguson is probably the best manager ever. BTW I hate saying that.

Gerrard said he was one of the best players he ever played or trained with. Big mistake.

jari litmanen was a great player it is just liverpool got him at the wrong time, mention the name jari litmanen in ajax they will say legend one of the ajax greats

mention it to us we will say one of the most exiting signnings liverpool have ever made techniquely great and so much experience on him great finnisher and penalty taker.


i think he would have been great under benitez

as for anelka his heart wasn't in liverpool it was still in arsenal

would you ever play for a bigger club, who's bigger then liverpool

Don't agree with that at all, man!! I've never heard him speaking about Arsenal, yet since he finished his 6 month spell with us, i've heard him many times over the years saying he wished he'd been signed and that he loved it at LFC.

After being snubbed in 2002:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/2097121.stm

Comments from Gerrard on Anelka in 2004:
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/sport/article-15309808-gerrard-wants-anelka-at-liverpool.do

Once again speaking about LFC in 2006:
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_2337318,00.html

"The Liverpool fans would like me to come back.

"It is a club I really loved.

"I would like to go back one day."

He might well be strange but in that half-season he was at Liverpool he was on-song and effectively swapping him for Diouff was one of Gerrard Houlliers worst decisions as boss - it's up there with Rafa's attempts to replace Xabi Alonso with the overrated and totally mercenary Gareth Barry

funnily enough Anelka only sacored about 6 goals in that period but set up a great many more and I remember a 3-0 home win against Newcastle where he was absolutely superb

So it's not a pointless thread at all - Ane;ka's heart was in it and had we hung onto him we'd be better for it - no question
