    Bye Bye

    Steven Gerrard has told Liverpool he wants to leave Anfield after turning down a new £100,000-a-week contract. The 25-year-old captain made his move after Liverpool rejected a £32m bid from Premiership champions Chelsea.

    A Liverpool club statement read: "The club has made it crystal clear we want to keep Steven at Anfield.

    "Sadly, he has told us that he will not accept our offer of an improved and extended contract because he wants to leave," the statement added.

    In fairness that is greed at its worst.
    I dont think football can sustain these sort of wages for much longer

    Greedier than Figo there like.
    Bad move for him no matter where he goes imo.
    Liverpool are likely to get great money out of him though.
    He's going to be the one to lose out.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    As a fan i'd firstly like to thank Gerrard for the memories and his performances in a Liverpool shirt. There were many and he was a legend. But secondly I'd have to say he is now a lying judas b*****d, and is no better than any other mercenary. I don't have a problem with him wanting to play elsewhere and taking a different direction in his career, but the way he has conducted himself is appalling. He has always maintained that all he ever wanted was to win major trophies with Liverpool, and if he could achieve success at Anfield he would be content. This is the s**t that he fed to the media all last season. So the European Cup isn't good enough then? Playing for one of the best coaches in the world isn't either. I hope he never wins another medal in his career, and I really mean that. He has betrayed the fans, and everything that he said following the European Cup win is now just hollow bulls**t. He has to go now, and as far away as possible. If he goes to Chelsea he will be hated and villified on merseyside.

    I don't think he'll go to a premiership club as a move to another premiership club would be a waste of time. Chelsea are nowhere near as big as Liverpool, ditto for Arsenal who can't afford him, while Liverpool will not sell to Utd. He has more sense than to sign for Utd which would be a dangerous move and he'd be a fool to look for it. The scum couldn't afford a deal that would cost about £65m - £70m in total when you take into account transfer fee, signing-on fee and wages.

    Finally, I cannot recall one player who has ever left Liverpool and been more successful. So good riddance......

    Steve McManaman didn't do too badly at Real Madrid.
    My other posts are intelligent and witty. This one is an exception.

    Thats a fairly poor example, Steve Mcmanaman Ok, he had one good season where he won the European cup, but after that spent the rest of his career there on the bench. If you remember, they wanted to get rid of him for ages, but he wouldn't leave. Look at him now, a disgrace. If McManaman is your yardstick, Gerrard is f****d!

    Not as bad as Liverpool fans make it out to be,they will easly get e50 mill,that would be enough to buy a better and more complete player in Ballack.Wheather he would go to Liverpool or not is another days work.

    Would have liked him to stay but if he wants to go, then so be it, but let him only go abroad . Would love to see ballack or essien in to replace him though, and they would probably still have the money to buy a few more players.

    Gerrard is totally over-rated. If Liverpool can get anything over 20million for him, they should grab it. Alonso is twice the player gerrard is and he cost them about 10 million. so by selling him for 30million they'd get the money to buy at least 2 players better than him and also manage to have a squad that isn't based around one selfish petulant child
