Af hverju Gerrard verður áfram

Kristján hafði bent á þessa grein í [ummælunum við síðustu grein](http://www.kop.is/gamalt/2004/06/20/16.40.31/#2641), en mér fannst hún það góð að hún ætti skilið sér færslu.

[Paul Tomkins: Why Gerrard Will Remain At Liverpool ](http://www.redandwhitekop.com/article.php?id=499554&PHPSESSID=6b072c02eb3332f33baeda4d802bed05). Allir ættu að lesa þessa grein. Margir góðir punktar en ég bendi á þessa tvo:

>What players do [Chelsea] have that Gerrard would dream of playing alongside? They’ve made a lot of expensive signings, but no Zidane, no Henry, no Ronaldinho. Would you want to swap Duff for Kewell? Not particularly. Or any of their strikers for Owen? Has any Chelsea player (or target, such as Deco) come even remotely close to playing to the level of Milan Baros during Euro2004?

>Have they signed anyone as exciting as Djibril Cisse this summer? I can tell you no, they haven’t. Lots of Porto players eager to leave a weak league

Sérstaklega er þó þessi punktur góður:

>I hope people don’t start turning on Steven Gerrard or the board over pure speculation; otherwise it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: he leaves as he feels unwelcome, when up to then he’d wanted to stay. We should be getting behind him, and not believing any of this; nothing has been said by either him or his agent. Until it has, then we must ignore it all – as hard as it is.

Annars eru [umræðurnar við síðustu færslu um Gerrard](http://www.kop.is/gamalt/2004/06/20/16.40.31/) mjög skemmtilegar og bendi ég fólki á þær.

Hvað er í gangi hjá Stevie G?
