Funnneeeee 'slams' Gerrard for inability to be a defensive midfielder

[an tha]

It is a bit shite that we haven't sorted this out without the need for Stevie to be talking to the papers about it. Everybody knows the contract situation, I can't imagine the club or he wants him going anywhere else.

 

So rather than have this shite why couldn't they just agree it all do the extension, make the stevie will finish his career here speech and get on with it, rather than allow the feeding frenzy in the media.

It would take some big balls from Brendan to wave Gerrard off to the MLS and bring someone like Song in, but I do think it may be for the best for both Gerrard and club. I don't think he's mobile enough to play in such a dynamic (or aspirationally dynamic) as ours.

Last May he was in the team of the year, he's still our best midfielder, would be foolish to let him leave when he's still got plenty to offer

It was a standard answer for a standard question, so let's all lose our shit...

Exactly, nothing to see here

I would've made the team of the year with Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge in front of me, and Henderson doing all my running!

 

I'd also like to put on record that Emre Can is our future. Once Rossiter comes through, the two of them are going to be ridiculous in midfield.

Suprised at this, would have thought he'd like to go out at the top not grabbing a game here and there with tiring legs. I imagine some kind of coaching/playing Giggs-esque situation will be forthcoming. Not a lot of captain material in our squad though it must be said.

Why the hell would any club not want Gerrard in some capacity?  I'll be gutted if we don't offer him a new contract, and I can totally understand his desire to continue elsewhere if he isn't offered one.

Nothing wrong with Gerrard other than his current position.

If that changes it will benefit us a lot. Also getting him closer to Balotelli may make him work harder too.

Yep, couldnt agree more. You listening Brendan!?

This forum would have about 12 posts per week if people stopped needlessly losing their shit.

He won't be going anywhere because we haven't replaced him.

[Sut]

He's gone, get over it.

Joe Cole was Chelsea player of the year 12 months before he joined us.
