You think Zidane et al are talking shit as well ? 

Can you give me the source for these quotes please? 

If the quotes are real and aren't out of context in some way, then, yes, they are talking shit. 

Let's not forget the original point though, which was you claiming that Gerrard was a better player than Xavi, Modric, Iniesta, Busquets & Pirlo. Laughable nonsense.

Scholes played from 1993-2013 for Man Utd. 

Gerrard played from 1998-2015 for Liverpool. 

Yeah I see, that different time was massive. Would need Bill and Ted to comprehend that amount of time travel. 

Hanz seems to think the best player in the world changes weekly or something. He's perhaps confusing "best" with "most in-form".

Strange comparison. No one wants anyone like than rancid hun cunt anywhere near our team.

Please replace with Scholes, Keane, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Pirlo or Lee Richardson

Peak Gerrard was better than any of that lot.

"Sigh" indeed. 

That post of yours is the one I responded to, saying it was a heap of shit.

Eammon Bannon? 

[styrofoamplates]

So. You are saying that at his peak, Steven Gerrard was better than Xavi, Modric, Iniesta, Busquets & Pirlo at their peak? 

Like when Sam Cosgrove was at his peak he was better than Ronaldo at his peak?

[Dave Bus]

Back on topic, has he left yet?

No cans at all this weekend Hanz. It's just an embarrassingly stupid opinion. 

He didn't have everything. Which is why he spent his entire career at a mediocre Liverpool side. 

To suggest he's in the class of iniesta, pirlo, Xavi, Modric or Busquets is laughable. 

For what period do you think he was "the best player in the world"? 

Get Pirlo out of that group. No where near the others. Overrated because he grew a beard.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

You mean has he realised how much his agent has fucked him up here?

If things are as they look then kudos to Goodwin/Cormack/bus ticket boy if they’ve called his bluff.

But still has points in the tank.  Get yer head down loon and work out just why Shinnie got that standing ovation coming off which you yourself so clearly appreciated.

Pirlo was brilliant

A thing that can't be measured, only sensationalised by football nerds and the media.

Pirlo was a great player. 

Not in the same class as ZZ tho.

ZZ the best of that era with Ronaldinho a close 2nd imo.

He was brilliant, aye. I'd agree with Del Monte that he's not at the level of Modric, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets though.

Correct, hence why I value his opinion ever so slightly more than Parkie’s.😂

I mind you said you were at the FA cup final. 

Are Liverpool your "English team"?

Barron been abysmal this season, especially since he came back from injury. Wouldn’t be arsed if we never saw him again 

Same.
Thankfully, barring injuries, we'll not see the weird looking, overrated hoor in the starting line up again this season.

Can't see him getting in ahead of Shinnie and Ramadani. 

Seeing as he's not interested in staying we should probably move him on now and use the money elsewhere in the team. 

Absolutely.

Get him to fuck.

[Rico1903]

 
 

let’s move on from discussing Gerrard! 

[sooth_stander]

If he goes this month, how much are we looking at, in terms of a fee? 
Shinnie’s return, Patrick’s signing and confirmation Clarkson is staying, means he’ll be getting very little game.

Maybe he is miles behind the likes of Xavi. People like him because he grew a beard and played a good game against England.

It'd be very weird for a club, one who espouse a strategy of developing our own young players, to prioritise playing 3 loan players from other clubs over our own young player.

Let's just get over the multiple European cups, Scudettos, the World Cup. 
 

Come away. 
 

Every bit as good as Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and Modric.

But if he’s not good enough then it’s pointless using that strategy.

That commitment ensured he wasn't dropped sooner imo. 

It should be who is in form, and yes, you've got to be patient with young players, but he had a run of 7 ish games and didn't excel in any of them, looked off it. 
 

Different if he's committed, then the club and the manager can commit to him, but he's refusing a contract and dropping in shite performances, his value is limited with 18 months on his deal, so I don't see the need to play him. 
 

He's a big boy. I feel for him being badly advised but it's his own fault for listening. 
 

Then again, people said the same about Ryan Fraser and he's went on to have a very good career at the top level.

If he’s not willing to sign a new contract the club can make an example of him by showing other youth players and their agents they won’t be taken for mugs. Also his form has been shite so deserved to be dropped even if it is for loan signings

He is good enough though. We all know that. He's shown he is. 

He's been in poor form (like Clarkson) recently but I don't think anyone thinks he's not good enough.

Cut off our nose to spit our face? Doesn't seem the smartest strategy.

Taking a player out the limelight when they aren't performing is a crucial part of their development,  so if we don't do that when he isn't performing, then THATS flying in the face of our strategy

No one is saying anything different, Space Cadet. 

Read the post I replied and then my post. Do better at understanding.
