Steven Gerrard?

The two teams meet in Istanbul on Wednesday and Carlo Ancelotti is full of praise for Liverpool's captain and inspiration.

"Steven Gerrard is a great player," he told the Sunday Express newspaper.

"Right now he is a Liverpool player and I am not going to upset Liverpool by talking any more about him.

"But it will be different if he decides in the summer that he wants to leave."

He added: "He is undoubtedly one of the best midfield players in the world.

"Of course, any top club would want him in their side. I like him very much - he is a wonderful player."

Gerrard has previously been linked with moves to Chelsea and Real Madrid.

You haven't got a chance of getting Stevie off us!

i dont think this is a good poll because i dont agree to both of those options, we dont really need him but i wouldnt mind having him here, hes really good but we would be much better off with some1 like pizarro i think and besides he costs alot ...however i do think he can suit us

scary scouse, look at the results... we dont even want him here

What results?

Only messing, it does seem like a rather poor attempt to wind us up all the same. Had he said Xavi Alonso people might have actually been concerned.

atleast at milan, we don't have 1 player dictating what we have to do, we are not at the mercy of an individual player, We are team.

He has no place with us. We need some reserves, like a Pirlo backup and Gerrard IMO is for the flat 4-4-2 not for the diamond midfield. BTW he's too good to be a reserve and you have to see if he'll adopt in Italy.

I agree with MK, its hard to vote because Milan dont need Gerrard as such but if he came he would improve the team.

I dont think he'll want to leave Liverpool after there CL performance this year even if their domestic form has still be poor (particularly away, and in Europe you cant get much further away from Liverpool than Istanbul ) They rejected a massive bid last year from Chelsea and would be well placed to reject another.

Thats true too a certain extent, but any Liverpool fan will awknowledge that some of our biggest results and sometimes best football has come without Gerrard in the team. Alonso and Hamann gelled much quicker, only know are SG and Xavi Alonso beginning to click and Gerrards influence is becoming more controlled. By that I mean he now realises he can't do it all himself or aswell as Alonso for that matter.
I wasn't actually being a smart arse there, had he said they were considering a move for Alonso I think that would have struck more of a nerve with the Liverpool fans.
As far as we were concerned Gerrard was gone at the end of the season anyway.

I seriously feel that Liverpool will do better if they sell Gerard, because that gives Benitez the funds to start and trust me Benitez will definately take the Club forward, I have always respected him as a Coach and as an Individual.
and Scaryscouse i have been supporting Liverpool since 87.

So then I think you'll agree I'm not talking complete ****e so. Most fans were already spending the Gerrard money and also were taking great heart from the performances without him. Alonso on the other hand I think would crush us if he left.

Granted Igor Biscan and Salif Diao aren't good enough squad players when you loose someone like him but 30 million would have gone a long way in sorting that out.

So you've followed Liverpool since '87, how long have you followed Milan? Purely out of curiosity?

I would agree we'd probably be better off without Gerrard but he's showed renewed enthusiasm of late.

Apologies I didn't realise I couldn't swear.

You can Swear.

I would rather see Juninho Pernambucano or/and David Pizarro in our midfield for next season. Gerrard is great in the EPL but I have very strong doubts that he would be as good in Serie A, not to mention that to get him, Milan will have to pay at least 30 mil euros.

I think he would adapt quite well and he would be almost as influential playing in our midfield 3. It doesn't matter what league you are in, tackling, passing and shooting are the same wherever you play ... those 3 areas of the game don't change if you play in England or Italy or wherever. With him you would get 100% commitment and effort, something that is sometimes lacking from certain other midfielders.

But i agree, it would be a waste of time and money to buy him if you weren't going to start him.

Plus i want him to stay at Liverpool ... although if he did have to move, i would hope it would be to Milan
