The new season will be starting shortly so here is the new thread.
As of today, it seems likely that Gerrard will be leaving Liverpool. Both sides are blaming each other for the breakdown in contract talks but it appears as if Stevie's "agency" SFX are pulling a lot of the strings. They obviously stand to make a lot of money from a large transfer fee and a lot less money if he resigns with the Reds. Personally, if he's not fully committed I think Liverpool should sell him. Yes, he's a local boy, the captain, a talisman and so on but he also seems like a bit of a dick, to be honest. And I don't think he fits in with Rafa's tactics as well as Senor Benitez would like anyway (stop taking the ball of Xabi's foot for Christ's sake!). Thirty million pounds could buy some real quality methinks.
It would be interesting to see Gerrard at Real with Owen, Beckham and Woodgate. They'd have to start selling fish and chips at the Bernabeau.
