If we're not playing Gerrard anymore at 34 and someone comes along to say, you can extend your career for a couple of years with us before being a coach, would you stop Stevie?
If it can happen to our beloved Hyypia, it can happen to anyone.
I'm certain that Gerrard doesn't want to play for any club besides us, because here is his country, his home, and hes a scouser, born and bred. I mean I don't see the point of going to other clubs just for a couple of years for retirement football. Besides, he may not be promised first team football there.
Hyypia and Gerrard are two different cases, because Gerrard is born from Liverpool while Hyypia isn't. I'm certain Gerrard has a stronger bond towards Liverpool as compared to Hyypia. Yes, it can happen to anyone, but when you look at other clubs, scum for that instance, they've got Neville, Scholes and Giggs heading to retirement but still playing their football.
I'm certain that Gerrard would very much rather be on the bench when he is nearing his retirement, rather than go to some other club for first team football. Even if he chooses to retire early, he might have more time to work on his coaching badges so anyhow its a plus.
Still reckon he has at least 5-6 of good football in him anyway.
