Guest DanTheDaggerman Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Just to let you know what I have heard tonight. This is from a friend in the legal document profession who got a text this evening. I don't know how reliable the original source is, so please take this with a huge pinch of salt. The information was: Steven Gerrard moving to Chelsea tomorrow for 40m GBP. This may be . Hopefully it is complete rubbish. Sorry. (Mods, please delete if you like) DTD
Kvarme Ate My Food Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 you're in the right forum for that sort of thing, I suppose We'll see tomorrow
Nathan Explosion Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 *munches popcorn* This is going to be good
Ste M Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 And that would leave us with Igor and Didi with regards to central midfielders in the first team squad. Not having a pop mate, but it wouldn't make any sense at all. £40m wouldn't go down too badly though, especially if Rafa has a couple of bods lined up.
Spike Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 we could just pile the cash in a massive leather holdall and stick it in the middle of the field. It can have diao's shirt

Not having a pop mate, but it wouldn't make any sense at all. I absolutely agree with that Ste. I know it seems highly unlikely, but I thought I should post it just in case. I wonder if Rafa already knows and has lined up suitable replacements? DTD
Lecter Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) 2 very similar rumours are current causing chaos on Mr Oldhams forum One stated £35 million and it would be done by the end of this week and another saying £40 million by Monday Edited January 26, 2005 by Lecter
Benitez Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 yep, cos Gerrard sure is gonna want to sit in the stands during the League Cup final and CL games isn't he.
Kvarme Ate My Food Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 yep, cos Gerrard sure is gonna want to sit in the stands during the League Cup final and CL games isn't he. yeah, who'd want a league winner's medal when they're on offer?
Benitez Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 yeah, who'd want a league winner's medal when they're on offer? he'd not play enough games to get one this season . I at least would credit Gerrard with wanting to EARN something, rather than just tag along for the ride for 3 and a half months after most of the hard work is done.

Benitez Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) yeah, fair play, me too how many games do you have to play to get a medal by the way? not sure to be honest I'm sure it used to be at least 10 games, might be totally wrong there Any player going there could well have to play pretty much the bulk of games to get one, which isnt a guarantee when they have a perfectly settled midfield doing a good job.

I think it is tenand you don't have to start all 10, either (like Keown last season)so he would get a medal and stevie would stroll into their midfield your other point was a good one though
Benitez Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 thats the thing though, as good as SG can be, Chelseas midfield as an unit works very well. And it'd make NO sense IMO to buy him now, (or even in the summer if they could )
Guest zimline Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 don't know how true this is but it is saidthat gerrard had a medical today in london. this ties up with the snippet about him buting a 3 millonflat in london as well. lets wait and see
Spike Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Booo @ Stevie. We can still win the CL you know
WillG Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 just because you do not agree does not mean it is bull****. rearrange those words Because it is bullsh*t - mean(s) do not agree Forget the words 'just' 'you' 'does' & 'not'
Repington Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 How many properties does Fowler have in London?
Guest liverpool1 Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 rearrange those words Because it is bullsh*t - mean(s) do not agree Forget the words 'just' 'you' 'does' & 'not' AND YET ONE MORE WITH A BALANCED VIEW. AS PREVIOUSLY SAIDWHY NOT GROW UP

R A Softlad Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Even if Gerrard is buying a place in the capital that doesnt mean hes moving to Chelsea. Maybe he just wants a base in London, plus its a decent investment. I dont know whether Gerrard will be around at the start of next season but im 100% convinced he wont leave the club in this window. Lets face it if we were to sell our best player for £40 million in the window it would have happened at the beginning of the month to give rafa the time to get a replacement. It's also a tax dodge. A few years back - when our kid worked for one of the 'big 6' accounting firms - they were advising the likes of Fowler, Shearer, et al to invest in property, hence the spate of 'Fowler's moving to Arsenal, he's bought a house in London' or 'Fowler's moving to Man U he's bought Manchester' rumours...
WillG Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 AND YET ONE MORE WITH A BALANCED VIEW. AS PREVIOUSLY SAIDWHY NOT GROW UP You're carrying this shyte on & posted that at 4.16pm this afternoon despite a statement hours earlier from our captain saying he's looking forward to Cardiff. 1. You'll probably be happier peddling lies here www.chelseafc.com 2. It's called a "Caps Lock" 3. **** off & have a Happy Xmas
