what's wrong with people these days. the guy has 2 years left on his contract. not 2 days, not 2 weeks, not even 2 months but years! how the hell can someone hold a club to ransom like that. don't you think there is something very wrong with the whole idea? it's like, i know i have 2 years tied to this club but i want more money now and if you don't give it to me, i wanna leave. or what? or play like crap? refuse to play? they dare call themselves "professional" players?
if i have 2 days left on my job, i jolly well work to the best of my ability. it's called responsibility.
sorry for raving but i'm pissed at the gall of this big-headed lad who is contracted to the club for 2 more years but actually had the temerity to blame the club for not rushing to extend his contract and give him more money.
did you read this one on the media watch section?
"REDS FEAR GERRARD WILL QUIT ANFIELD
Liverpool Echo 05 July 2005
..............In a baffling twist, Gerrard has confided to friends he desperately wants to stay at Anfield but he's concerned the club won't be strong enough to compete for honours next season.
He is also worried that by signing a deal reportedly worth £100,000 a week, he will swallow up most of Rafa Benitez's transfer kitty and the club won't be challenging for the Premiership................."
two questions, you worry about swallowing the transfer kitty, why ask for the pay? it's not like he's paid peanuts now is he?
secondly, if you wanna win honours and worry the club isn't up for it, say it and ask to go. it would hurt but i would salute his guts and honesty. but why drag on and wait for the contract offer? looks to me like it's the $$$ that are talking louder.
sigh, he was my hero and he is still great on the pitch. but like maradona, he's proving to be nothing but a selfish jerk off the pitch.
