Imo we need a new Danny for the remainder of the season and as backup/pushing for a start next season.
Relying on a guy that's been virtually out for the season is not gonna help us make top 4.

That was ment to be Balo, any amateur Nostradamist could have predicted that we would struggle to score goals with our Luey or Danny simple as that.Quote:

Gerrard OUT by seasons end!
As good as he is I think the team needs to move on and will have a fresh look & feel without him.
He is not the only one who will be out by seasons endQuote:

Our success last year was due to when our mids or defenders had the ball, there was always an option up front with the movement of the 2. Now we have had the same/similar midfielders all looking for that ball through and behind, but there's nothing. Our natural game is through ball and counter. When there's nothing up front, the only option is a pass to midfield or defence and we eventually turn it over.Quote:

As for Gerrard. Catch 22. I want him to stay for sentimental reasons and I feel the club should give him at least an option to remain a one club player. Have him on the bench or loan him out, but give him a contract. If we can justify keeping jones on our books, we can justify the greatest servant to lfc.
On the other side, we need to move past the mentality of him being our go to person. We need to phase him out and prepare for life after Stevie g.
(And I want to see him play next October/November when I go over. Fml)
Same for me :-( heading over in late September, early OctoberQuote:

Nope. He's gone.
Quote:
The Reds captain will bring the curtain down on a glittering Anfield career that has spanned nearly 17 years and included 10 trophies, as well as 695 appearances and 180 goals to date since joining the club's youth system aged eight.
Gerrard will not retire from professional football at the conclusion of the 2014-15 season. No decision on his new club has been made yet, but he will continue his career outside the United Kingdom and at a side that will not bring him into direct competition with Liverpool.
The 34-year-old admits it is with a heavy heart he will depart Liverpool, describing the decision as the 'toughest of his life', but has chosen to make it now to avoid speculation about his future.
Until then, the No.8 insists he will continue to concentrate all his efforts on helping Brendan Rodgers' side achieve both domestic and European success.
Explaining his decision, Gerrard said: "This has been the toughest decision of my life and one which both me and my family have agonised over for a good deal of time.
"I am making the announcement now so that the manager and the team are not distracted by stories or speculation about my future.
"Liverpool Football Club has been such a huge part of all our lives for so long and saying goodbye is going to be difficult, but I feel it's something that's in the best interests of all involved, including my family and the club itself.
"I'm going to carry on playing and although I can't confirm at this stage where that will be, I can say it will be somewhere that means I won't be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool - that is something I could never contemplate.
"My decision is completely based on my wish to experience something different in my career and life and I also want to make sure that I have no regrets when my playing career is eventually over.
"I can't thank Brendan, the owners and everyone at the club enough for how they've handled this and I am leaving on great terms. Also, I would like to thank my teammates and all the staff for their help and continued support.
"It is a very special place to be part of. It is my sincere hope and wish that one day I can return to serve Liverpool again, in whatever capacity best helps the club.
"One point that is important to make is that from now until the last kick of the last game of the season, I will be as fully committed to the team as I ever have been and giving everything I have to help Liverpool win games.
"My final message is for the people who make Liverpool Football Club the greatest in the world - the supporters.
"It has been a privilege to represent you, as a player and as captain. I have cherished every second of it and it is my sincere wish to finish this season and my Liverpool career on a high."
Reports Rodgers offered him a contract. So at least he wasn't forced out
A contract they knew he would not accept.Quote:

Any supporter of football, whether you hate liverpool or not, will agree that Gerrard has been a great servant for Liverpool, England and football in general.
Regarding him "choosing to leave". A sporting career is very short lived, make hay while the sun shines... He will be back at LFC in some way shape or form in the future.
I'll take the bait.Quote:

He realize his not getting younger and can no longer keep up with the pace required to play BPL. He selflessly stepped aside as to not hinder the future of the club (only wish a English bloke that played for us done the same instead of hold on for to long) he adores by demanding a spot in the squad based on reputation.
He made this decision now as to not take away focus of the club he adores by not adding another distraction, everything the bloke has done in his career has been for the love of Liverpool.
He admitted that the lowest point of his career was when he was in negotiations with the club for a new contract and all the speculation around the Chelsea offer and the resulting transfer request, I could almost guarantee he wants to avoid a similar scenario hence the decision now.
End of, Scousers and Liverpool fans all across the globe couldn't give two shits what the rest of the Footballing world think/remember about him, his the kid from Houton who has shed more blood, sweat and tears then any other player we've had and his our hero.
**** you you clueless twit. I can put up with your unintelligent ramblings about the jets, you blind obsession with bringing down everything about the jets but if you have one tiny slither of knowledge about football you last line in yet another negative post shows that you are nothing more than a bitter, whinging tool.Quote:

The fact that the club he has represented with distinction have failed to win the league in his time has nothing to do with a slip or anything else he has done. Quite the opposite. He has singlehandedly carried this club for many years and many games. The failure of previous owners and management has more to do with any failure associated with Liverpool FC. (Something any jets fan with a clue can relate to)
Please keep your vitriol to the jets where people know you to simply spew forth your usual rubbish.
in future, don't take the bait, just report any trolling posts and the mods will decide and dish out bans
he's been past it for a while now
Past his best.Quote:

Now peeps can do some self assessment.
