I'd say he's still our best all-round player, a living legend who should still be at his home club. He will be missed. Maybe the last of the footballers from an almost bygone age.
Not sure about that. He has had many injuries over the course of his career and that has nothing to do with the current manager. 35 is old for a defender but a box to box midfielder is asking a lot. He cannot play at that high level anymore and him leaving is a necessity for the team to move forward, as sad as it is. This situation was always going to happen. Now we just need a long them replacement.
Like many, I feel he should have been used better. Hugely versatile, inspirational and very dangerous from the edge of the box. As a utility player from the bench I reckon he could have very useful. Maybe he doesn't have the stamina he once had, but he's still a very effective footballer. I don't see the point in removing SG as an option from LFC. Anyway, it's done and I wish him luck.
