it's probably rumour,nothing else. the media have an obsession with lfc. on one hand they say they'd love to see us win the title then on the other they can't wait to put the boot in and destroy what little we have left.
if gerrard does leave,and i couldnt blame him,he'll certainly go abroad. so it doesnt take a deal to link him with real,barcelona or inter!
i think if rafa stays another season, gerrard will go. but whoever gerrard signs for he'll have a clause that if they later make rafa their manager he can leave!
