Steven Gerrard set to exit Anfield and head for the MLS -- reports

Could Robbie Keane and Gerrard be reunited at last?

LIVERPOOL CAPTAIN STEVEN Gerrard will reportedly end his time with his boyhood club at the end of this season, and leave for the MLS on a free transfer.

BRITAIN SOCCER

In The Express, Paul Joyce reports that Robbie Keane’s championship winning side, LA Galaxy are among the front runners in the race to sign Gerrard, with New York Red Bulls also said to be in the running.

Gerrard’s contract at Liverpool will end after this season and so clubs from abroad have been free to bypass the Reds and propose terms of a free contract directly to Gerrard from today.

The Express adds that the 34-year-old, offered an extension with his hometown club in November, is expected to make his decision known within the next 24 hours.

    Loyalty = He was paid very well by the club and thats why he stayed. Do you honestly think he would of stayed if his wages were rubbish.

    I think he may have made one transfer request a few years ago when he was having trouble with the manager. His loyalty and dignity seemed to shine through though and he never made it into a Rooney type saga or moan.

    Love Gerrard and idolised him growing up. How many times he rescued liverpool down the years in big games and finals. Owes the club nothing and is an LFC legend. Just gutted for him that he never won the league.

    Yeah he is probably the best player never to win a major league title. He could have had 3 or 4 easy if he went to Chelsea or Madrid.

    At least he has the champions league though, United fans might conveniently say that the league is the most important but they never dominated Europe like Liverpool did so they try to lessen its value.

    It’ll be like a breathe of fresh air for the club..They say no player is bigger than the club,but in his case it was more like Stevie Gerrard FC.. When Liverpool FC where good years and years ago,there was never so much focus on one player. As an Everton supporter I’ll be sad to see him go,because it’ll can only mean good things for the red half.

    He mightn’t have had the goalscoring records of Lampard or the Premier League medals of Scholes and Giggs, but no other player has scored as many important goals as Gerrard. Olympiakos, West Ham and AC Milan stick out but he’s played his heart out in a team where only the likes of Torres, Alonso, Mascherano, Carragher and Suarez could come close to his ability. I’m not going to say he’s the greatest player of all time or something stupid like that, but Gerrard was a great footballer and on his day could play with the best. This day had to come eventually and it’ll be sad to see him go but he’s done everything he could for Liverpool and that’s all anyone could’ve asked of him.

    What’s your point? He scored them, and he’s scored many other game-winning goals since, aswell as a number of spectular goals in his career. The 3 that I mentioned weren’t just important because they won us 2 trophies or because they were nice goals, 2 of them came right at the death and the Milan goal started, arguably, the greatest comeback in the history of football. Lampard broke the scoring records and Giggs and Scholes have their PL medals, but nobody can take away the fact that Gerrard has scored many important goals down the years.

    He’s not the greatest player of all time … but in my time watching football … I’m 40 … he’s the best all round footballer I’ve seen … nothing he couldn’t do … athletic, strong, great passer long and short, can tackle, dribble, defend, head, shoot, tough as nails and deadly on free kicks and penalties, leader by example and full of heart.

    For me Liverpools best ever player and theres been some great ones.

    I’m a Liverpool fan I admit,but I struggle to think of a more complete footballer that’s played the game in England

    Your comparison of Gerrard with Kilbane and Walters makes me question if indeed you even watch the sport. Zidane rated Gerard highly so your “workhorse” description is like the majority of your comments, complete and utter nonsense.

    I for one will remember him moreso for his immensely important goals and the fightback he led against Milan in the CL final.

Sad that u moved 5000 kilometres away and to alleviate your loneliness u exchange opinions on football forums over here. Except it was a lot more than an opinion. It was a sneering description of anyone who does menial work. I don’t judge people on what they earn their living by. U clearly do. U need to take a good hard look at yourself. Maybe get out more over there. Let the Canadians get to see your obvious charm. Meanwhile I ll continue to air my views over here without sneering at someone who has a different opinion to me.

    Keane and Vieria were much better “box to box” midfielders than Gerrard.
    I get what you are saying about Lampard but I’d have him in my team before Gerrard.
    Still a great player but not the best midfielder in the past 10-15 years. Would make top the top 6.

    Yeah i know what you mean it honestly comes down to person preference and what type of team you build I think like keane or Viera as a defensive midfield and Gerrard playing the box-to-Box role would compete with any midfield. But there is no right answer to any of this just that he was a excellent player

    Wouldn’t agree with a Keane/Gerrard or a Vieira/Gerrard midfield but I’m just proving your point about personal preference.
    Keane /scholes worked perfectly like Gerrard Alonso, always liked the box to box partnered with the forward passing midfielder.
    Great player all the same. Suprised he is leaving.
    Suppose he is going for a big pay cheque for a year or so and he will walk back into Anfield as an ambassador or director of football role.

    I don’t know why people feel the need to come on here and try diminish any of Gerrard’s achievements. He played at the top level of his sport for over 14 years,for his boyhood club and was a great servant who is idolised by Liverpool fans. Now is not the time to be comparing him other players or looking at what he or hasn’t won. I take my hat off to him,as a man united fan,for his service,attitude and love for his club,even though he has caused me more heartache than probably any other player I can remember. Premier League will be poorer with your absence.

    You said he won no titles, we have shown he did. You asked who River Plate and Porto were and again people have shown your ignorance.

    Adults have discussions and make valid points and can back them up, at least try to keep up.

    His loyalty to Liverpool was incredible considering all the mediocre players he’s had to play with. Seven major trophies in a career isn’t bad but only two in the last 10 seasons is a pretty poor return, despite his superhuman efforts, for one of the best midfielders of his generation. I’m biased as a Liverpool but it’s a crying shame he never won the premier league medal his career deserved.
