Well, I don't see us winning a PL trophy anytime soon, so it's maybe for the best? He has been a good servant for the club. Won everything except PL. I think it's time to build a team for the future, without Gerrard in it. We all know this will come sooner or later. He has what, 2-3 years left? If he leaves, I hope he goes to Spain. Atletico maybe.
Heartbreak for sure, especially after last season.

“I would love a (Cesc) Fabregas or (Diego) Costa here, but I have to understand how the owners want to do it and accept I am a Liverpool player, not a Chelsea or Manchester City player.
"They (Fenway Sports Group) have gone on record saying they want to bring exciting young talent into the club. You can’t just expect that to click overnight.
“I’m not looking for excuses but there are collective reasons for our stuttering start.
"We lost a key player; we’ve had a key player injured (Daniel Sturridge); we’ve had a huge setback through just falling short last season; other Premier League sides have improved.
Says it all really about our transfer policy. Young, cheap and promising. Not sure whether or not any of this has been modified, but he sounds like he doesn't like what we're doing with our transfers. If we (the fans) are this frustrated with the current crop of players we have, imagine what he must feel...
