But the release clause wasn't valid for another year, so we couldn't just pay it as there was no deal. The best we could have done was to pay even more to have him that summer, but Leipzig wanted him for another season. Or wait til the season after to pay the clause, but then be in competition with anyone else who wanted to pay it. Not saying I agree with it, but I can understand the logic if we really wanted him.

Do we all remember those heady days. Before he took up residence on the treatment table.

The hope, the expectation!

Gerrard handing over his shirt number!

The new midfield general that would drive us forward. We where shrewd to have secured him early, the extra was needed to gain such a world class talent.

He's got to be the biggest disappointment ever for Liverpool surely.

It's a shame how it panned out - all stemmed from the Rakitic foul on him and this national team playing when he was nowhere near ready. Career hampened by poor decisions.

Prior to joining, he was the perfect midfielder :(

For 45 minutes against United in the 5-0 massacre, we saw just a smidgen of what could have been, but when he came on against Madrid in Paris and managed to hit the corner flag from the penalty when we desperately needed him to show composure and technique.... well, the real skill comes out in the moment of truth.

There have been many false dawns. Coming back from injury, a good performance, back out again.

I spent a good few years hoping he'd come good, on occasion, very few occasions there where glimpses of what could have been.

That's all drained away though. I'm looking forward to him finally leaving.

£120mill... The same price as Jude?
 
We're also looking for homegrown players. I don't know which players linked fit the bill other than Mount and Rice (who won't be coming).
