its the media talking bullshit, cant imagine many at LFC saying that sterling is going to be the one to replace gerrard but in fairness that wouldnt be too hard as gerrard has been **** this season. only one man to replace gerrard and that is joe allen
Would be much wiser of us to not give him a new deal and let him go to Bayern or Real and become a star on the cheap I think you know no-one is expecting Raheem to replace Stevie either... No-one can really. Today's available 'star' midfielders - Khedira, Strootman, Vidal etc all nothing like how good Gerrard and Scholes were. Anddd they wouldn't come here regardless. I hope we don't replace him and end up with three competent midfielders instead of one brilliant one.
The meeja and the haters will spend the next 6 months banging on about how Gerrard will be impossible to replace and what a massive blow him leaving is going to be for Liverpool. The fact is he shouldn't be in the Liverpool starting XI anymore so he won't be that much of a miss! If anything this season with him in the team / squad has been more problematic than next season will be!
