Not welcome at our club. Too old, too crocked. His heart wouldn't be in it.

ive always thought he has been one of the best midfielders in the world but if he were available you just know we'd pay well over the odds for him.

he wasnt looking his usual self this year at all (apart from the diving etc). id still take him but the price would have to be right. he's still a massive twat though.

Been saying it all season to the missus he had an off season but I reckon he will be back to normal after the WC so would be worth a gamble for us.

What drugs have you been taken this morning?? Do you not remember the likes of Gary Mason and Jeff Whitley playing in our midfield?? Are we really that big of a club now to turn our noses up at one of the greatest footballers of his generation.

We want have to worry about Stevie G anyway cause if he is going anywhere it will be Real. Really can't see him playing for another prem club and not one plying it's trade it the Europa League!!

Wise words all round sister. And who can forget Jim Whitley too, playing in between robberies?

Steven Gerrard is exactly the type of player that we are crying out for to be honest. Yes he is 29 years old but he still has at least another 3 years in him if not more.

Another signing to strengthen us and weaken our rivals.

He is the complete midfielder IMO and would be ideal to come as skipper as well.

Sign him up.

Is he better than what we have? Yes

Would we have to pay over the odds for him? Yes .... but who cares, money is not an object for us

Would he come? No, end of.

Absolutely. Once we have two of the best five midfielders in the world fannying around in our midfield, we can take a skip because someone is injury prone but until then, I'd take him. Just don't expect him to be quite the same player as around 2005. But still miles better than anything we have.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Mate, we should care when our near-unlimited funds go to teams in our league for who money is most certainly an object.

No purchases from any team in the top 8-10 of the Prem for me, if they're costing over the odds.

A very bizarre idea.

With the debt Liverpool are in £40m for Gerrard wont solve it, and it would probably kick the arse out of them.

Personally I'd have Ashley Young from Villa, and numerous other players from teams in the top 8 of the prem if we could get them - Anybody from Evertons midfield would improve us in Pienaar, Cahill, Arteta and Rodwell for a start.

After Everton ripped us off last time and then slagged us off to fuck I hope we never deal with them again..

The problem is, other managers are probably able to pick up bargains for the money we give them. Young would be a good buy, but we'll have to pay considerably over £30m for him, whereas his true value is around £14-16m. Villa can replace him and also get 3-4 top notch squad players for that kind of money. At the moment their squad isn't big enough to cope with a league, 2 cups and a European competition, but with that kind of money it soon will be.

Moyes has proven competent in the transfer market. The price we payed for Lescott will come back and bite us at some point in the next 2-3 years, I fear. Any more dealings we have with them will multiply the power of it exponentially.

Liverpool don't have money, but there's no guarantee funds won't be made available for purchases directly from sale profits, to improve the immediate package available to a potential buyer. Who'd want to buy a big-money club outside of the transfer window once they've sold off their best assets? Due to the complexities of the club's owners not talking to one another, and the size of the club, negotiations are going to take a long, long time.

i dont rate anybody's chances of getting Ashley Young for £14-£16m, that valuation needs a reality check.

As for paying over the odds, we are City; we haven't won a carrott for over 30 plus years and we aren't peddling Champions League football. Untill we win anything we will be paying over the odds in wages and fees for almost every player we sign, thats the real world we are in.

Absolutely. If my memory serves me they forked out something like 10m to buy him from Watford. No chance whatsoever he'd be available to ANYONE for anything less than 25m. For us 30 or 35m maybe.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?
