hypothetical question

Mike · November 26, 2008

one of the greatest players in the world, arguably the greatest midfielder in the world, the heartbeat of liverpool and the man responsible for turning round more lost causes for lfc than anyone i can remember. the thought of our team without him there at all isn't a pleasant thing to consider.

on the open market, you'd need to cough up around £40m for him, give or take. i don't see us ever coughing up that kind of money under the current regime, so who or how do we replace our captain when his playing days are over? for me, unless we get freakishly lucky in the next 5 years and unearth another gerrard from the youth set up, we'd need to either buy an enormously expensive global superstar or totally change the setup of the team.

i reckon gerrards got another 4 years at the top of his game, that'll take him to 32. we're never going to sell him, so we aren't going to make significant sums of money from him - so we'll have to pay and pay massively for his replacement.
