I think he is a good player, but £45 million after one good season? English hype again.

Might get my wish, apaprently the contact of Westley finishes on May 31 and the Chairman has yet to make an offer. Good riddance to bad rubbish IMO.

A fitting tribute to Gerrard, built up massively and let down again

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Absolutely.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Imo he's the best player the premier league has ever had

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I would like to propose a certain Welshman for that accolade, just count the medals. ;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Theres a a fair few I would put before him

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

That's just the thing isn't it, he won medals with poor teams, it's easy to win things surrounded by other great players and I don't recall giggs ever putting in the inspirational performances Gerrard did, the only one who came close was Keane imo.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

FA Cup semi final v Arsenal . ;)Has won a record 13 top division English league titles as a player, and only Manchester United player to have winner's medals from all 13 Premier League title wins.

Most Premier League assists (accurate records are only available from 2002 onwards).[160]
Only player to have played in 22 successive Premier League seasons.
Only player to have scored in 21 successive Premier League seasons.
Only player to have scored in 17 different Champions League tournaments (includes 11 consecutive tournaments, 1996–97 to 2006–07; only Raúl has a better record with 14)
Most goals by a British player in the Champions League/European Cup proper history, and 14th overall (not including preliminary rounds).[161]
Most UEFA Champions league appearances.
Most appearances by a Manchester United player.

First player to score 100 Premier League goals for Manchester United.
Second midfielder to have scored 100 goals in the Premier League for a single club (first being Matt Le Tissier).

One of two Manchester United Players to win at least 10 Top division medals (the other one is Paul Scholes.)

And TBH I would pick Shearer in my all time greatest before Gerrard every time. Alan Shearer played teams that on paper were inferior to most if the teams Gerrard played in as well.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

So we're in agreement then, it's much easier to win things when you're surrounded by great players. I agree with you about shearer he is right up there imo with the giants of premier league football, he didn't win anything with the inferior teams he played for though, just the really good one, oh and that semi final goal was just that, a great goal, did he do much in the rest of the game, can't recall it that well myself?
