You steza are too "biased" on Gerrard, man. I honestly doubt that your opinion of him would still be as high if he wasn't an Englishman.

Maybe, but i watch enough football to know a good player and Gerrard is one. Maybe your biased against English players too? You dont think they can succeed in Italy because a few tried in the 80's, of those, guys like Blissett and Hately had spent the bulk of their careers in the old English division 2 and people are surprised when they dont succeed at Milan?
Since then who has been to Italy? Gazza? he was crocked in the FA Cup final before he even joined Lazio and never recovered. Platt was as good in Italy as he ever was for mighty Aston Villa. Ince? as far as i know he did well. Beyond them who is there?
By the way, Denis Law is Scottish, though he was an English league player. He didnt like Italy and moved back to England where he became European player of the year with Utd
Jimmy Greaves did the same, he wouldve have been a phenomenon in Italy but he couldnt handle the pre game sex ban

I have heard that AcMilan was interested another Watford player namely John Barnes, and some how ended up with Blisset, who scored 5 goals for us and was an absolute Flop.

yeah i've heard that too
Of the guys on your list who are in your eyes better than Gerrard, i genuinely believe only Ballack can match him. I mean seriously, you have the entire Lyon midfield in there, they have 3 players better than Gerrard and Vieira
What they actually have is 3 players who know there roles and compliment each other well, ie the sum is greater than the parts. Mascherano has proven little yet, Rosicky was linked with a £3m move to Spurs only a few weeks ago
Pizarro is good but i wouldnt quite rank him with Gerrard and Vieira.
