[Blue Valkyrie]

Gerrard has not been all that in the US has he ?

Downward spiral now, probably not for us.

Is that Ade Akinfenwa?!?

A chip off the old block is your son BG - Some right ''off the wall'' ideas all relating to players who seem to be past their prime

Never become a fisherman BG (Nets are not wide enough) - Never become a singer (repertoire of songs is not expansive enough). Never become a Gigolo (---Fill in as appropriate----)


I jest of course but I think the recruitment team will be casting their net much wider given that they know the market much better than any of us do

As I said I am sure that either would give odd moments of joy showing their class but for not long or often enough so probably an expensive experiment or chance to take.

Not when you are looking for auto

Well said.
Why would we even want SG, he's just a big name from a football time that's gone.
He wouldn't bring anything to us, apart from high wages and unwanted press coverage .
Didn't do too much in Trumpland

They've both had their big final pay days, why don't they just retire from playing and do something noble. After all, it's not like either of them will ever need to work again

Because the money is longef that important to them and they love playing football ?

Possibly because they enjoy playing football and they know that whatever they do next will never replace the buzz of putting their boots on and playing on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon and so they want to keep playing while they still can.

I would have thought if Liverpool are in the title hunt still in January, Gerrard on something like a pay-as-you-play basis with some kind of future coaching role at the club lined up would be a possibility. Gerrard's about the same age as Gary McAllister when they signed him under Gerard Houllier and he made quite an impact for them when he was selected.

 

[Ernest]

More CHANCE of Chris Hughton SINGING me in January than a PEAR of FAT has BEANS like Gerard & Lampard

 

[perseus]

Five months older than Bruno!

We'd better sign David Villa then !

Can't see SG being up to the pace of the prem now and being able to contribute to a possible title push.

Is that Bloom's great-great-great-grandad bringing himself on for the last five minutes of the 1910 Charity Shield?

I think if I saw him in a Brighton shirt I'd wet myself.

He's been shite for years and you'd be living in the past as he's not the player he once was

 

[Insel affe]

I can see him going to Newcastle makes perfect sense, and to be honest might stop them looking at AK....

So it's a yes from me.

Not if he was playing every week, no. Playing 1 game out of every 3 however or coming on as an impact sub could be very different. He's only 36, which is a fair bit younger than Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes were when they were still in the squad when Manchester United won their last Premier League title in 2013 and he's also younger than Didier Drogba would have been when he was in the Chelsea squad that won the title 2 years ago. The experience those players offer even if they're not playing every game are going to be invaluable to players less used to being in that position.

Would never sell anyway so pointless

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Surely Tranmere Rovers, with John Barnes up front and Steve Nicol at the back. Promotion guaranteed.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would think that SG or FL would be great to have on the bench and come on if needed for 20 mins to add their experience to calm down any hectic moments and see out a game, but at what cost?
