gerrard also sees liverpool on a slippery slope and incapable of winning anything else significant in the next 2 or 3 years, which would take him almost to the end of his time at the top. he's probably seeing this as his last chance to play for real madrid and for mourinho and its a chance of doing both at the same time. he's won every other domestic honour going and wants to add a league title to his collection. personally i don't see the attraction in just heading to the most likely team just to finish the collection, but sadly it seems that most modern footballers only look as far as their own personal medal collection.
sadly i think he's played his last game for us.
I dunno, I think it's hard to blame him when you put it like that. He loves playing football and he loves to win. He's one of the best players of a generation and deserves to play for a team at the very top level of world football.
