Re: Steven Gerrard

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard says he will leave Anfield for another club in the summer if he is not offered a new contract.

Gerrard joined the Liverpool academy at the age of nine and has made almost 700 first-team appearances for the Reds but his current deal expires in the summer.

The 34-year-old has played in all of Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League games so far this season.

But Gerrard has confirmed he would not retire if he is not offered a contract extension in the summer and will sign elsewhere.

"I can only worry about this season because I'm only contracted until May," Gerrard told the Daily Mail.

"I certainly won't be retiring this summer. I will play beyond this season."

Steven Gerrard

"As it stands at the moment, I'm here until the end of the season and want to make the most of it. I certainly won't be retiring this summer. I will play beyond this season.

"We will have to wait and see if that's at Liverpool or somewhere else. That's Liverpool's decision. If they don't come then I will see what's out there."

Oh, I hadn't realize his current deal is up. I thought he had more years left. But I'm sure he'll be offered a new deal, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Just trying to get a better deal for himself I guess, he's not going anywhere lmao

by Art Morte Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:00 am

Mm, if he wants a longer deal than 2 years, there might be a problem.

Considering his performance so far this season, I wonder how much he will offer next season.

by Red Alert Sun Nov 02, 2014 3:45 am

He was putting in the same performances this time last season... lol

His form improved after December.

by Art Morte Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:58 am

I think he's been fine. He's our deepest-lying CM and scoring goals is our problem, I don't know what some people are expecting of him.

I think his meeting my expectations, only because they really ain't that high.

If we had a proper CB pairing we wouldn't need a player like gerrard to play so deep. Once we fix that we can adjust to have a more attack minded trio then what Gerrard, heno and allen can be.

I wanna see

Hendo---------Allen
--------Cou
--Sterling
----------------Balo
-------Borini

This time last year, any Chelsea fan would have said the same of Frank Lampard

by Art Morte Sun Nov 02, 2014 11:09 am

Yeah, but Lampard is two years older.

by McAgger Sun Nov 02, 2014 8:50 pm

With all due respect, Lampard is nothing like Gerrard. He's shown by signing for City what kind of a person he is.

by Art Morte Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:31 pm

If we don't offer Gerrard a new contract, I wouldn't hold it against him if he signed for City (if they wanted him).

Why would City want Gerrard, no top team would TBH, his going oversea's to grab some cash in the MLS.

by Red Alert Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:32 am

He'll go to New York.
Get loaned to City.
Win PL after first season there.
Damn.

by McAgger Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:34 am

I can categorically say he won't play for another club in England. And I'm sure he'll retire with us.

From a footballing perspective, it would probably be best if we moved on as it's been long coming and him being in the starting XI is holding us up.

He went to New York and got loaned to City.

He was supposed to come play in Australia but the A league policy of "2 marquee signings" only restricted him in coming so.

So yeah, City thought they could use him rather him sitting out for a couple of months doing nothing. They do after all pay his wages. (Well the Sheikh, not City.)

He also done well at City, so it was a win-win or all.

Can't compare him to Gerrard though. Lampard may be a Chelsea legend, but he didn't come up via their academy.

Gerrard is Liverpool. I'll be surprised if he ever plays for another club professionally.

by McAgger Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:37 am

Doesn't matter if he got loaned to City. If his allegiances lay with Chelsea then he could have declined City but he was persuaded by whatever it was (ahem money).

by Red Alert Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:39 am

Chelsea didn't offer him a new deal......... he was released. So he went to New York for $. Who can blame him ffs?

by McAgger Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:40 am

I'm not blaming him for going to NY. HE SIGNED FOR CITY and that Chelsea fan is trying to compare Stevie's loyalty with that mofo.

by Red Alert Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:43 am

HE NEVER SIGNED FOR CITY FFS

He was forced to go out there FROM NEW YORK to get fitness ready for MLS.

Like I said he was supposed to come to play in the A league first. After the A league said he wasn't allowed they forced him to go to City.

Anyway, getting over talking about Lampard in a Gerrard thread.......... so I'll let myself out.

by McAgger Mon Nov 03, 2014 12:45 am

You really think players are forced to do anything? Laughing

Lamaprd HAD to sign a contract with City even if on loan. He HAD to agree to go there.

Fored rofl

I don't know the exact details around loan signings especially with feeder clubs and what not, however he signed for City because his new employers asked him too. Rather than sit on his arse he did what a model professional would do so I have no problem with that.

Cmon are you telling me Lampard couldn't have signed for ANY other club in Europe to stay fit?

He HAD to choose City?

Anyways it doesn't matter. The situation is completely different between Stevie and Lampard.

I don't know, you are assuming many things and all I know is that NY held the power. If they pay the wages then obviously they would want to benefit from this, coupled with the fact that City probably wanted him as well.

Either way I know Lamps is Chelsea through and through.

As is Stevie with Liverpool regardless of who else he plays for if he does play for a different team.

by McAgger Tue Nov 04, 2014 5:57 am

What was thatt again? rofl

Frank Lampard WILL stay at City — on £190k-a-week deal that dwarfs Chelsea wage — for rest of the season:
Frank Lampard will spend the whole season at Manchester City, earning a whopping £190,000-a-week after signing an option to extend his loan deal with the Premier League champions until May
