But we could bring in 2 or 3 ala Torres. For instance in Gerards case if we brought in someone like Adam, Hamsik or DeFour and also got 2 wingers like Turan, Sanchez or Young then i believe though Gerrards position would be weakened we would improve overall.
This thread sort of sums up the problem with most clubs, supporters and thier best players, is that when the time comes to move on people are afraid too and make a mountain out of a molehill.

As for Carragher, I think we have Martin Kelly who can do a really good job in the center of defence, we also have Coady coming from the academy who looks pretty good.

Key word was unfortunately, how many times have you slated me for biging up the youngsters and now you think the only player who could replace one of the greatest midfielders ever has to come through are academy?

I remember when we had a squad full of captains, how times have changed

Therefore, in terms of looking for replacements for the likes of Gerrard, Carra, etc, I'd Be inclined to give some of our youngsters/benchwarmers a run in the starting team to prove their worth, if they fail and are too old (Cole...), ship in the summer. Just think about the likes of Arsenal who have thrown their youngsters in the firing line like Wilshere, perhaps all it takes is a good run of game time. Imagine if we used Shelvey as a gerrard replacement for the rest of the season, tried Cole out wide more often, maybe give Wilson a good run at CB, we could find that someone is really up to LFC standard, rather than dismissing them completely.

Oh jeez, you didn't understand my post, I'm not advocating shoving a 16 year old in the first team right now and see if he is the next Gerrard. I'm saying that IF a player like Gerrard will ever play for our club, most likely he will be from the academy.
capiche?
