Gareth Bale.
- Thread starter Slime
- Start date
spurs, rumoured utd, chelsea and ac. Also, Monaco back when collins was there.
Either way, way, it made no difference. He was stubborn in his belief that if managers (england) we're too stubborn to pick him the so be it. To be fair, in his autobiography he admits that back the he was still on about 75% of what most stars earnt, but if he played in this era he would have moved has money would of been greatly higher.

I dont blame him for being loyal to one club - its very rare to see these days
Think Giggs , Teary and Gerrard must be the last of the one club people
Agreed, although I think it may be easier for thise at large clubs with success to make the decision.
Of course also harder to stay at a level where they can. Swings and roundabouts.

Im amazed we have kept Gerrard for as long as we didnt - thought he would go abroad to test himself but i know he really wants to win the league with us = said in his book that winning titles with other clubs just wouldnt have the same meaning.
Really hope we can cross the line
obv were quite a few rumours about why he never went to Chelsea. But I'm not sure he'd have been as big abroad, he's brilliant, but not sure any league was a better fit for his game than prem. His game now would suit Europe as he plays so much deeper, but at his peak his Roy of rovers may not have been a perfect for for slower leagues. If anyone deserves a league it's him.

the Chelsea/madrid move was all about mis communcation between Gerrard and the club ( namely Parry ) - Parry was supposed to get a new contract sorted straight after Istanbul but delayed for some unknown reasons and Gerrard and Struan( agent ) thought one wasnt going to arrive and Parry wasnt talking to Gerrard - so the Chelsea bid happened and then Gerrard says he wants to leave and then Rafa got involved and lots of talking and the next day the contract is signed and all is good - strange time but thankfully the right result.

I've seen enough of him to form my opinion. Like I said he was a good player. I'm not trying to disrespect the bloke,or Southampton. I just don't think he'd have been a big success at a big club. Just my opinion.

I'm surprised Gerrard didn't leave Liverpool after the fans started burning his shirt. I remember quite a few rumours about the whole thing at the time.

A couple of kids burnt his shirt after being "encouraged" by the sky cameras for better effect and to make a name for themselves
Players don't leave over trivial things like that.

I seem to remember that he'd received some threats of violence, (or even death threats), that would be carried out if he'd ever have left Liverpool for Chelsea, and this was enough to 'persuade' him to stay.

Yeah you remember correctly, apparently Suarez received the same treatment when he wanted to leave.suppose it's one way of keeping your players.

No, apparently it's all gossip.
Phil's got the actual facts though, I'm sure he'll be along shortly to put you right!

Gerrard tells you himself in his book why he didn't leave - because he didn't want too and signed a new contact
Suarez didn't leave because no one bid a big enough fee for him so there was nowhere for him to go - now he has signed a new contract
Sorry if those facts don't match up to your rumours and gossip

Yes sorry he must have been lying when he signed his new contract , the owner must have been lying and the agent and Carragher and the manager and Gerrards dad !! They all must have been lying because it doesn't suit internet rumours.

Off death threats forcing him to stay - when it was actually his father he talked him into staying
Despite claims that death threats against him and his family made him change his mind last summer, it was actually the Anfield captain's father Paul who persuaded him to stay for one more season.
Extract from his dads account of the episode
