Steven Gerrard? (2 Viewers)

Gerrard is real Juve target Monday 27 June, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite being linked with Arsenal star Patrick Vieira, reports today suggest that Steven Gerrard of Liverpool is actually Juventus’ real transfer objective.

The Italian champions are looking for a new central midfielder, as the club confirmed yesterday when they expressed their admiration for Vieira.

"I think that Juventus are more willing to make a play for a midfielder rather than (Roma’s Antonio) Cassano, as this is the area we most need to strengthen," said director general Luciano Moggi.

"If Vieira was on the market then we’d already have made a bid. He’s undoubtedly a champion, but Arsenal don’t want to release him."

Reports are now gathering pace in England that the Frenchman could be on the move, but whispers in Turin claim that Juve are actually more interested in Gerrard.

Boss Fabio Capello is believed to have asked his club to make a bid for the Liverpool captain, as the Coach desperately wants a new partner for Emerson in the heart of the team.

The England international is undoubtedly one of Europe’s best which has also seen him linked with a move to Real Madrid and Chelsea in the past.

However, tempting Gerrard to quit his hometown club for Turin, especially after winning the Champions’ League last term, will be some task.

Other possible midfield targets for the Bianconeri include Inter’s Cristiano Zanetti and Santos Mozart of Reggina.

"whispers in Turin claim that Juve are actually more interested in Gerrard"

Those wisperers are aware of the fact that Real Madrid and Chelsea failed to sign Gerrard?

Gerrard is the best player in Europee, I would be so happy if we get him. But it won't happen, he loves Liverpool too much and his price is probably sky rocketed. We will get Mozart instead and that isn't that bad

 

[tassard]

It will never happen.

 

[Tom]

wait a minute, best player in Europe? - How so? He's not even Liverpool's best player!

 

[juventus2]

Gerrard is for me the best european player. And amongst top 5 in the world. And who is better then him in Liverpool?

What Gerrard did in Istanbul is truly great, even Zidane wouldn't be able to do that

Player in europe better than gerrard

Emerson
Cannavaro
Zambrotta
Buffon
Zlatan
Nedved (on form)
Adriano
Sheva
Pirlo
Kaka
Nesta
Totti
Cassano
Ronaldinho
Etoo
Xavi
Henry
Lampard

etc..

I know they are not in the same position but I'd rather have any of those players in my team than Gerrard. What he did in Istanbul was overplayed. He scored a header with non existent marking, won a penalty after a ridiculous tackle and just happened to be in place as Milan collapsed, then dominated the rest of the game. The result was a fluke, entirely of Milan's own doing.

Gerrard is one of the best player,
but far from THE best player in Europe

Those players in bold can't be even compared to Gerrard. And tbe players I didn' put in bold aren't as effective in big games and aren't as great leaders, but some of them have better techincal knowledge then Gerrard this is true.
About Gerrard in Istanbul it may have been luck aswell. But I can assure you that without a player like Gerrard, the score would never ended at 3-3. What he did that night was simply spectacular

 

[Edge]

There's no way Pirlo or Xavi are better than Gerrard, the only midfielder in his class at the moment is Lampard and possibly Emerson.

 

[Cronios]

Those player shine among other star players,
Gerrard wont be the same "leader" when he joins a club big enough as those players are

So you CAN'T compare Xavi and Emerson, but you CAN compare Sheva and Henry? Where's the logic there??

Besides I wasn't directly comparing their attributes, I'd pick any of those plaers over Gerrard, which to my mind means I think they are better. Besides it was you who said "he is the best player in europe" which by nature means you are comparing him to all players, not just his position.

 

[juventus2]

I meant you can't compare their CLASS. And Emerson is overrated, good but not close to Gerrard the same goes for Xavi.

He isn't? I mean Jamie Carragher is class but I don't think he's better than Gerrard.

Zlatan? Nedved? Cassano? Kaka better than Gerrard? That's questionable for sure and Gerrard is at least on par with Pirlo, Emerson and Xavi IMO. Lampard and Totti aren't too far away from him either.

 

[Tom]

Bollocks

excuse the expression but I think both those two are world class -in fact you'd struggle to name a better holding midfielder.

I agree with him not being the best player in Europe by far, English media always overrate their star players. But I do think he's Liverpools best player. Xabi Alonso and Morientes are great players, but they aren't as versatile as Gerrard.

 

[Maher]

bullshit

 

[Cronios]

If Gerrard had Zidane's age and David's form would he still be considered a world class player?
Is he that good?
Did he ever reached the maximum of performance of those world class players?
Did he prooved his value among world class players?
He is just the hope of England to become the best player,
and he is clearly better than the players he has around him, like Biscan,Hamann etc etc, its not a very dif task,
the only advantage he has versus a player like Neddy, is, his form-youth, that makes him more valuable(for a transfer) but not better player,
Gerrard has still a lot of things to proove before he wins a place near Ronaldinio and the likes.
Best player of the world?
Thats a joke,he is hardly the best English player.
