If Gerrard has been quoted as saying he is staying then we have to believe what he says. Great news and I am glad he has actually come out and said as the silence from him and Torres has been a worry..!

Until then, have a great WC Gerrard!

I really hope he has a massive impact on the tournament this year.

Stop talking complete bollox, you. And stop reading them newspapers. You're still saying he'll go after he's said he isn't? Catch yourself on.

I think there's more chance of Gerrard leaving than there is Torres simply because Gerrard's getting on and there's the potential of linking up with Mourinho at Madrid. Think he'll stick around though, particularly if the ownership situation looks likely to resolve itself. Certainly hope so.

Jose Mourinho has vowed to bring champagne football back to the Bernabeu as he aims to restore Real Madrid to former glories.

And the Portuguese coach has revealed that England stars Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are the kind of players he will look for when shaping his Real side.

Manuel Pellegrini was sacked on Wednesday night after a trophyless first season with the Spanish giants, who have now won just two major trophies in seven years and have failed to get beyond the last 16 of the Champions League since 2004.

Having won the treble with Inter Milan, Mourinho is set to be unveiled as Real's new boss once he resolves contract negotiations with Inter, with whom he has a deal until June 2012.

The 47-year-old has already achieved much success with Porto, Chelsea and Inter teams built around reliable veterans, and midfield pair Gerrard (29) and Lampard (31) could fit the bill.

"I like players in the final part of their careers," Mourinho told Spanish sports daily AS.

Value for money
"I love to have some players who are 33 or 34 years old. They are players that you buy and you won't recover this money, but if they give you good performances for two or three years you've got your money's worth.

"Both (Gerrard and Lampard) are great players who always give everything."

There have been doubts over whether Mourinho's style would suit Real having used defensive tactics to lead Porto, Chelsea and Inter to glory, but he has been keen to allay those concerns.

Asked about how Real fans expect to see both successful sides and entertaining football, he added: "Me as well, let them have no doubt about that.

"My Madrid will always play well, attack and be winners. However, there will be times when we will have to face the game in a different manner.

"Having said that, my team always goes out on the pitch with a clear idea: to win. If we are winning 3-1 and we only have 10 players on the pitch, then my players will have to sit back to defend. That's the way it is.

Sacrifices
"It's very difficult during 90 minutes to always be better than your opponent. There's always a time in which you need to be a team and make sacrifices.

"It will be a balanced team," Mourinho continued.

"We will be a side with its own identity, we will not imitate anybody. The identity will be set by the players and me. For this we will have to work very hard."

Mourinho became just the third coach ever to win the European title with two different clubs after Inter beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in Saturday's Champions League final at the Bernabeu.

That also saw Inter become the first Italian team to win the Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League treble, and Mourinho is determined to continue his winning streak in Spain.

"I want to win the league because no player or coach has won the English, Italian and Spanish leagues," he said.

History
"I would like to be the first to do it, and also to be the first coach to lift three Champions Leagues with three different teams.

"I would also like to discover a player from the youth team and make him into a star.

"I have a lot of motivations. I don't want to lose humility, so I cannot come out and say that I'm going to win the league when you are up against a super team like Barcelona.

"Hopefully Valencia, Mallorca and Atletico, to name but a few sides, win more and we will see an even better championship this year," Mourinho added.

"It's going to be a great championship because Barcelona have signed very well and are going to be stronger than this season."

The way Gerrard played this season (didn't put his usual effort into his game, to say the least) I can see him linking up with Mourinho in Madrid sooner rather than later. Would be gutted to see him go.
