Steven Gerrard Surprised At Frank Lampard's End Of Season Awards Snub

The Liverpool captain cannot explain how the Chelsea star was overlooked for commendation...

Talismanic Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who has featured for most of the season in a supporting striker's role, has admitted that he regarded Chelsea's box-to-box midfielder, Frank Lampard, as a serious contender for end of season accolades and cannot explain how the Blues man was snubbed for the commendations.

The Liverpool leader is quoted by This Is London as saying, "I was fully aware of the competition from Frank and surprised he seemed to be forgotten. He has had a great season and is such a consistent player.

"To get the nod above Frank and the others was a fantastic feeling.

"I felt the way he's been playing he would have been worthy of at least getting in the PFA Team of the Year. He is a fantastic player and he proves it by scoring 20 plus, year in year out.

"He is setting the standard for all the other players."

Meanwhile, Gerrard has also pushed for more Torres-like signings at Anfield. He is hoping for manager Rafael Benitez to add further world-class recruits to the club this summer.

Alan Dawson, Goal.com

my respect for gerrard is actually growing i did hate the guy but he seems level headed, lampard has had an amazing season yet not in team of the year wasn't even nominated for player of the year, and imo has been by far the best the premiership has had to offer this season.

It was all over papers a few weeks back and again a couple of days ago saying, what does it take to rank frank? He is concsistantly brilliant year in year out yet gets over looked


+5 Respect. for Gerrard.

True, i will bump this post forever!

Great idea, if you aint around i will make a thread that you can merge the day after.. It's because it would have been in the football thread anyway.

Chelsea-Target Pirlo Can Leave Milan In Exchange For Drogba – Report
The Rossoneri are reportedly formulating a swap-deal in order to get their man.
4 Jun 2009 00:10:32


Carlo Ancelotti left Milan to become the head coach of Chelsea just days ago, and immediately three of his former stars from the Serie A have been linked with a move to the English Premier League.

The first was Kaka, a man who has been forever linked with a move away from the Rossoneri, but this time around he does look set to leave the Italian peninsula, as Real Madrid’s €65 million offer looks too good to refuse.

The other two Milan players are Alexandre Pato and Andrea Pirlo, both of whom have had offers made by the London-based outfit over the past few days.

According to the latest reports from 24oredisport.com, Ancelotti has called on the owner of his new club, Roman Abramovich, to do everything he can to get Pirlo to the Blues.

The Italian manager believes that the World Cup-winning midfielder would fit perfectly into his plans for the future; however, the reports go on to suggest that the Rossoneri would only be willing to discuss a deal for their star if Chelsea agree to offload Didier Drogba in return.

The Ivorian hitman is close to extending his contract with the FA Cup champions; however, if they do wish to acquire Pirlo, then they may have to reconsider their decision.

With Gareth Barry now a Manchester City player, many people including myself, feel it's time Liverpool make a move for Valencia winger David Silva.

The Spanish midfielder has been linked with a move to Anfield on several occasions over the past few months, however as of now, Liverpool are yet to make a concrete bid for the player.

Silva, 23, is widely regarded as one of Europe's finest left sided midfield players and with Rafa Benitez clearly lacking in that department, I personally feel now would be the perfect time for the Merseyside club to make a move for Silva.

Much has been made of Valencia's financial trouble over the past 18 months or so and many people believe the La Liga club would accept any bid in the region of £22 million for Silva. If that is the case and Liverpool do have to cough up £20 million plus to sign Silva, they will obviously have to forget about the likes of Carlos Tevez, but I firmly believe Silva would be an all round better signing for Liverpool at the present moment.




They made a stupid 12m offer and some useless player already.
They need to step it up and just offer 20m hes easily worth 30 anyway.

No!!! Drogba must stay in the Premiership, a good league needs great players.

Silva must go to Anfield or i will slap Rafa! Then again his hands might be tied in the matter.

Yes i want drogba to stay they have offered him a 3 year contract (chelsea) so should be okay.


and Yes Liverpool need to stop talking about barry and other shitty transfers and realise the phenomenom which is david silva.

Spanish international, possibly on par with gerrard in ability, you can get him on the cheap to.

he would be amazing, there should be more coverage on it.

Arsenal target Buffon and Juve teammate

Arsenal are reportedly lining up a sensational double raid on Juventus for their highly vaunted goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and defender Giorgio Chiellini according to reports in Italy.

Tottomercatoweb.com suggest Arsene Wenger will approach Juve this summer hoping to persuade the experienced pair to join his youthful squad at the Emirates.

Arsenal have set aside €20 million for the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, who has also been linked with Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona, and having recently expressed his unhappiness at some of the criticism he has received this year, an unlikely move may suddenly appear possible.

Chiellini has been capped 19 times by Italy, and played over 100 games for Juventus following a €6.5 million move from Fiorentina in 2004. He is highly rated and at 6ft 1” and 24 years old, he may be the physical presence Arsene Wenger is looking for to bolster his fragile defence.


Im not sure, about him hes less than a year younger than alumnia, and is already losing it hes not as good as he used to be.

Arsenal midfielder looking to move

Arsenal, 11:22, June 4, 2009

Emmanuel Eboue claims his future at Arsenal isn't clear and he may be forced to move on in search of regular first-team football.
The Ivory Coast international endured a difficult season with the Gunners, where he was regularly jeered a booed by sections of the crowd and found first team opportunities limited.

With Arsene Wenger reportedly only having £13million to rebuild his Arsenal squad after another trophy less season and Inter Milan tracking the right-sided midfielder Eboue could be on his way following his comments on Wednesday.

"My future at Arsenal is not clear yet. I did not play a lot in the season and the World Cup is coming," said Eboue.

"There are many clubs interested in me, so let's wait. Before the season's start I will make a decision."

In Betfair you can either make a back bet (bet on who's going to win) or place a lay bet (bet against something happening). Betfair matches people on either side of the bet with the odds they agree. Simple. Use this £10 free bet and give it a try.

Eboue is probably going to leave Arsenal then, not too bad, he is a great player though.

AC Milan hope £15M enough to land Arsenal's Adebayor



AC Milan intend to offer £15 million for Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor in the next 48 hours.

The Sun says the Serie A club are desperate to give their fans some positive news after Carlo Ancelotti's departure for Chelsea and Kaka's impending exit from the San Siro.

Milan offered £25m for the Arsenal striker last summer but the bid was turned down.

Their valuation has decreased after a mediocre season from the Togo international.

Adebayor netted 16 times last term - which was a huge disappointment after his 30-goal return the season before.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is willing to sell the 25-year-old as he attempts to rebuild a side which struggled to finish fourth in the Premier League last term.



In the next 48 hours.. i don't think he will leave for 15 hes worth 20+

Moyes eyes Martins move

Everton, 11:26, June 4, 2009

Everton boss David Moyes is reportedly keen to bring Newcastle's Nigerian hotshot Obafemi Martins to Goodison Park.
Newcastle signed Martins for £10million from Italian giants Inter Milan in 2006 but the player looks set to depart St James' Park this summer as the Magpies face the reality of dropping into the Championship.

Eveton boss David Moyes is keen to add another striker to his squad after being priced out of a move for loan-star Jo, who joined the Goodison Park side from Manchester City in a loan move last season.

It would now seem Moyes has turned his attention to 24-year-old Martins after the player's agent confirmed there had been interest from three Premier League sides regarding his signature.

It is believed that Arsenal and Aston Villa are the other clubs involved in a three-way battle for the Nigerian international's services.
