Media stateside has him going to the Galaxy.

As a Galaxy fan this a very underwhelming signing. While the MLS isn't a quality league it terms of technical ability (although I'd argue Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy's starting XI's are more technically proficient than quite a few prem teams) it's a league full of athletes. Gerrard will need people to do his running for him which would prompt playing 3 in the midfield. We already have arguably the best midfield MLS, the signing of Gerrard would make that official, but our best player would still be Robbie Keane and he needs to play up top with a strike partner. The move makes absolutely zero sense tactically.

Really hoping NYCFC makes a move for Stevie and then plays the infamous Gerrard/Lampard midfield.

And you think Robbie Keane is an "athlete" Mano.<laugh>
 
Both of these little boys should go away and only come back when they've had an education.

Well at least both of them have shown some indication of an ability to think which is far far more than you've ever managed.

You could always play 352 <whistle>
 
I can't begrudge Gerrard playing in MLS. Enjoy his remaining years in a slower league where he can shine, enjoy nice weather and life style.

Not sure he could cut it in any other major league so MLS would be a nice move.

It's just a shame he can't move sooner because I fear Rodgers will continue to mismanage him.

With Gerrard I think its more about physical stuff than athletics. Its true Gerrard is not a runner any more. But his passing is great when he has athletic players running ahead of him.

Things just become an issue if the opponents get tight and physical with Gerrard, cutting out his passing space and hurrying him.
 
Gerrard is a better footballer than Scholes and is far more talented than Lampard.

That's not to say Gerrard was a better CM than Scholes or a better goal scorer than Lampard. I'm just talking about pure all round footballing ability.

A better footballer than Scholes<laugh>

I really have heard it all now. I'd even take Lampard over Gerrard:biggrin:

The case is proven in favour of Gerrard. Only a truly dead horse could even try and compare the 2 for tackiling ability over their careers plus Gerrard still can accurately pass a ball 40 yards whereas the little carrot-top could only hit and hope <ok>

Gerard is decent at long range passing, not as good as Scholes though. The area that Scholes really trumps Gerrard as a footballer is his ability to receive the ball under pressure and play short passes to team mates quickly. He can dictate games in the same way Xavi and Pirlo can. Gerard has never had anywhere near that kind of ability in possession. This is why now that his legs have gone at 34 he is having to step down a level and head to USA. When Scholes was 34 he still had a lot to offer, as he didn't need to rely on having legs, he could rely on his talents as a footballer. Scholes was still playing for the Premier League champions at the age of 38, that's how talented he was.

You ask the majority of players that have played with Scholes throughout his career who the best they played with was and most will say Scholes. And take into account that Scholes played in a side who where the best in England for most of his time there, and at times the best in Europe too.

Many great players who played against Scholes rate him as the best too. Zidane, Henry and Kliuvert to name a few. :biggrin:
 
Thanks Sir Dave. So about that bet, what's your decision?

You merely prove my point regarding you singular lack of any ability to comprehend what you have supposedly read. I explained to you carefully using simple terms so as not to over-tax your abilities that I had no need to support my predictions in any way. I further explained that your continued demands to bet was nothing short of childish. Yet you still persist with you puerile nonsense. It is just too sad to witness your continued stupidity!
