I still think Alonso is a better player

The thought of paying Gerrard 100k a week who IMO is a lesser player than Alonso i couldnt understand .
Im glad that we will get at least 30million for him and we all know we will get quality players who will i think , be as good if not better than Gerrard.
SkySports did a stats comparsion to the midfielders that Chelsea have in their team and Gerrad came bottom in all but one ........passing , scoring and tackling ........he was last but one in tackling .....even Joe Cole was better than him at tackling !!!! i honestly couldnt believe my eyes .
We put Gerrard on a pedestal because he is English Scouse and An international and plays for us , so we all feel he is the best midfielder in the country ........he isnt tho . I have been more nervous about games when Alonso wasnt playing than when Gerrard wasnt , and remember one thing folks , we won more games statistically without Gerrard playing .
Many a time ive come online to read on here about how Gerrard didnt get into the game and wasnt anywhere to be seen during play , thats not the way a class midfielder should be and for that matter a clubs captain .
He makes out the club want him out , we all know that simply isnt the case . Gerrard tried to make it look like the club were the bad boys and deflect any possible blame in all this . Now that the club has released information about how they wanted him to re-sign 3 times last season and publicly stated they want him to stay for life and eventually become Manager after Benitez goes , he says loves the club and respects the people and fans to much to getting in a "slagging match" !!!!! ........irony of ironies me thinks. He respects the club and loves the fans so much he wants out and tries to blame the club for him leaving , the same club who wants him to stay for life !!

... gutted i felt for him almost a tear in his eyes, and then rafa had to go on and beg stevie to stay, in all his time at valencia he never had to go through what he,s gone through in 12 months at liverpool, no player is bigger than this club, 1 year ago if i had told you we would win the cl but we would sell gerrard, would you have taken it bloody right you would have, rafa will build an empire...Return to Liverpool FC - General Discussion
