Gerrard has to go.

[Andy @ Allerton]

Good player. Done well for the club. Utterly disinterested now.

 

Bye Bye.

 

£30M

 

Some players in.

 

 

No brainer surely.

[Maldini]

 

No brainer surely.

 

Yes, you are.

[Epic Swindle]

30 mill could buy us another defensive winger or two. I'm game.

[Cheesecake]

how much speed can one buy for £30m?

Jesus Christ. Look At Me in excelsis.

Well, it seems there was a vacancy (or two) for this role on this forum...

[dl2009]

Yes, Gerrard has to go..... on a holiday to a warm country, given intensive physio therapy and perhaps recover from the overuse of cortisone injections by our medical staff.

[Benzo-13]

Wow, just wow..

 

This'll make the forum look brill.

[Gunga Din]

just posted this in the match thread:

 

I suppose the question is whether this is just a poor season for Gerrard or a now inevitable decline after over ten years lung bursting effort?

He does not seem to have the pace and power of old. He's getting dispossessed on the ball a lot more often.

It would be a braver man than I to write him off and sell him.

[Sion]

In theory selling Gerrard would raise more than what we sold him for because of his what, £7m a year massive wages?

We can't afford to take the risk but I wouldn't be overly bothered if he wanted to leave and we could get £30m. Wouldn't actively sell him, mind.

we probably can get £50m from city

The sad problem is the rest of our midfield feel the need to have to give the ball to Gerrard everytime we advance. Unfortunately as of late he is the worst culprit for just giving it away. Therefore many of our forrays forward end with him. Too many of our players lack in confidence to take it directly to goal themselves.

[Epic Swindle]

I thought this was a joke. Pretty sad to see the knife going into one of our legends after an indifferent season, in which he's struggled with injuries. Who needs enemies eh.

to be fair it is only one person advocating selling him, it's hardly sticking the knife in

[Hassony]

we should have asked city for £20m for carragher in the summer

[richwilks]

What worries me most is that his body language seems to suggest he's not interested. He's certainly not got that same aura he did have and I wonder how much of that is down to the fact he's considering his future again.

 

Really poor today, he doesn't seem to be able to shift the ball and hit it at the moment, he used to be so quick at doing that but he's getting caught in posession now.

Grade A kneejerk t***tery

Correct.

 

Grade A kneejerk t***tery

 

 

Kneejerk? Every game this season but 3 or 4?

 

How does that work? How many games have been played?

[BG]

Correct.

 

 

Not sure I follow. If you're agreeing with that poster you seem to be saying Gerrard should go because the rest of our midfield don't have the confidence to take more responsibility themselves: ie we should get rid of the player that the other players look to to make something happen.

[Epic Swindle]

Nowhere near. Get him the ball and more often than not he makes things happen.

Get a copy of all our latest game. Obain a notepad. Obtain a Pen,

 

Write down every time he gives it away.

 

Prepare to be astonished,.

[John am Rhein]

should take the 30 million and invest it in a new generation of up-and-coming referees

 

this is obviously what modern football's about

Sadly yes.

So we should just ignore all the good things he does and knitpick over a few loose passes? All players give the ball away, ours more than most. What's their excuse?
