Lite Beer Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Gerrard set to announce end of Liverpool career LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is set to announce he will leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.British newspaper reports said the announcement from the 34-year-old midfielder, who has spent his entire career at Liverpool, would come on Friday.There was no denial from Liverpool, and former teammate Jamie Carragher appeared to confirm the news."Sad day for LFC & English football with the Gerrard news," Carragher wrote on Twitter. "I think it's the right decision all things considered."With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Gerrard has been free to talk to foreign clubs since New Year's Day.Gerrard, who retired from England duty after the 2014 World Cup, said in October that he would not retire in 2015 and was open to playing away from Liverpool.Gerrard scored two penalties in Thursday's 2-2 draw with Leicester, taking his goal tally to 180 in 695 appearances, but lost his guaranteed place in Brendan Rodgers' team this season.Although Gerrard has won the Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup, his career is set to end without winning the Premier League with his boyhood club. -- (c) Associated Press 2015-01-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdome Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 As football fan and watching Gerrard this season he would be better packing up altogether...he was slow at world cup & seems to be getting slower...in fact a bottle of milk can turn quicker than him...Rodgers is no fool he knows Gerrard is finished. Mind you i dont suppose he is short of a few ££££$$$ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePlant Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Shame he didn't get a league title He might, if he does a Lampard and comes to City I think Lampard is showing us all now who really was the weak link in the England Midfield during the "Golden Generation'' era now MrB... Still, a sad bit of news for a superb player for his team and possibly the last of the 'one club' men. I shall relish the comedy memories of him running all over Old Trafford last season kissing everything in sight before he fell on his botty and handed City the title...LOL.....

As we all know, they just couldn't gel together for England but individually, they were both superb players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Gerrard was a great player....I'm sure he can still do a job for someone as an impact player with his quality. Be a shame to see him finish his career in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Gerrard was a great player....I'm sure he can still do a job for someone as an impact player with his quality. Be a shame to see him finish his career in the US. don't think he wants to be an impact player though smokie, he wants to play regularly in a slower, easier league and experience a new culture too it seems. so good luck to him if that's in LA in the sunshine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmine Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 there's a truly staggering amount of tedious, unfunny prick behaviour going around this announcement. football fans are really mostly total whoppers. You mean thick tossers, right?!! What should be being discussed is the comparison in the careers of Gerrard and Dalglish. Both outstanding but under very different circumstances. Think i give the nod to Dalglish but its testament to Gerrard that there is talk of the two. For the record i think his timing in leaving is right as is his destination. Good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him. thick tossers is one way of putting it carmine mate yeah. unfunny, tedious bellends would be another - my twitter feed has got arsenal fans quoting unfunny chelsea songs about a gerrard mistake handing the title to both of their rivals, man city. it's mental stuff. this lad achieved more in a hundredth of one percent of his career than every one of these pricks will ever have done and the abuse and pavlovian unfunny sh*te just makes me sad really. he's had a spectacular career, has been a brilliant (though i've never really liked the term) ambassador for his club and country and i'll bet every one of them cheered his goal in munich and various other things when he was wearing an england shirt. the english league will be immediately poorer without him. he's scored in a european cup final - possibly the greatest european cup final - and then lifted the european cup afterwards for his hometown, boyhood club. he's an ordinary lad from huyton who became one of the best footballers in the world and has achieved extraordinary things. what've you lot done lads? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sanuk711 Posted January 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2015 Oh lighten up guys.....you don't think that every teams star get a rollicking.....? . Rooney's probably going to end up as the highest scorerer in history of club football, thats recognized, but there are also as many jokes about him going around as goals his scored. . Where's the Scous humor gone...... you can certainly dish it out on the terraces when I used to travel up there.. Anyway if you feel you have had a disappointing Christmas, just remember, someone somewhere was unwrapping a Tottenham shirt. ..... Bring on the Arsenal jokes........ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
