We have been saying for a long time that we lack a leader, a player that can grab players buy the scruff of their necks and drag them with him and I see Stevie G as that player, fans that say they would not have him are deluded and lack football knowledge.

When was the last time that we have a central midfielder that could get you 20-25 goals a season.......never. What was the goal outlet from our central midfield this season?? Less than 5? Teams that have that driving force from the center, United have Scholes, Chelsea have Lampard, Arsenal have Fabrgras and Pool have Gerrard tend to win tropies or at least qualify for the Champs league.

Like i said i dont feel we have a chance to sign him but for people to say that they wouldnt or he is not good enough do make me LOL.....

I think Gerrard is too loyal to Liverpool to play for any other Premiership side. He'd have moved to Chelsea in 2005, otherwise. I can see him leaving Anfield but he'll go to Spain or Italy.

Having both in free roles behind Ade could work, but there's also a big risk that Gerrard and Tevez would clash.
Re Ade wandering off to the wings and down the pitch, I totally agree with you. It really pisses me off when he is the one swinging in crosses towards either no one or a bunch of midgets.

hmm....

Would i have the Gerrard of 2008-09 season. yes in a heartbeat.

Would i have the Gerrard of 2009-10 season. nope, looked lost and disinterested all year.

Would a move revitalise him.. yes probably, at least for a season or two anyways..

So in summation is he worth a gamble. Yes, probably.. but it would be a large gamble at that, but a gamble only we could comfortably take.

None of your arguments have even made me waver from my position. He's a crock and too old and wouldn't fit in.

We need a star of the future, not a star of 2005.

I know its contrary to Mancini wanting younger players, but he has shown he is prepared to sign a player to do a specific job.

Based on that, would anyone have Ballack and Stevie G as a midfield pair for a couple of years. Ballack looks like he still has the legs for a year or two

would i have Garrard, of course i would, while we have a couple of midfielders who hold the ball, we do need to have some1 who can get forward fast,put a decent ball through the defence for trevez Ade to run on to and someone who can shoot from 30-35 yards out. this isn't happening at the moment, we are to slow at getting the ball forward.
