You have to feel for Gerrard. One of the greatest ever players to grace world football, but his last season will end on a low. Hopefully the FA will reward his magnificent service to world football with an ambassador type role. He's been an inspiration, and a role model, to not just youth players, but to the youth in general.

Role model?

To the youth in general.

The last few years he would have been running around in Chelsea blue if a few people hadn't strongly advised him against the idea lol!

Well, I see a bar.

Atrocious game vs WBA. Rodgers predictably called the performance "outstanding" (he needs to be banned from using that word). We need a striker.

Otherwise linked with Depay.

Ok. He's quality and the type of player we need. But we have Sterling, Ibe, and Markovic already in the wide positions.....

In any case we'll offer 15-18 M, PSV will want 25-30M. Spurs will probably offer higher than us and will emerge as a real signing rival, then you, the Rags or Chelsea will come in at the 11th hour pay the asking fee and that'll be that. And to add insult to injury, we'll then probably turnaround and pay 30M for Berahino.

- Proven striker--whatever it takes. We must be willing to overpay if it's for quality.* Martinez or Lacazatte. Yes, above our pedigree, but move mountains.
- Cheapie support striker that can run - we fucked about paying 5M for Ings in January, now he'll go to the Rags. Maybe Jovetic? :)
- Milner

I'd be happy with that output from the summer if it means Lucas and Sterling stay and Lambert, Borini and Johnson leave. Maybe we need another journeyman old head in there, but Skrtel and Lucas--who should stay, are reaching the stage where they can be considered veterans.

*But what I don't understand is that we paid 25, 20, and 20M for Markovic, Lallana and Lovren, no questions asked, no haggling-- so I'm really mystified by our transfer strategy.....we paid 35M for fucking Andy Carroll and 20M for Aquilani when that was a lot of money.

Overpay for Lacazette? That sounds like something City would do. I'd be worried that he is a bit of a flash in the pan, so to speak. He has more or less doubled his goals per 90 minutes rate from age 22 to 23.

Certainly a quality player but I imagine his true ability is somewhere between this year's output and last year's.

Also, the increase in goals this year has a lot to do with 7 of them being pennos (he had zero in Ligue Un last year.)
