      80M...

      Even if it goes to the RBS, we're 80M less in debt.

      Sell one of our greatest just to service debt?! No way, would make me sick.

      How d'you know the money would go to H&G, you don't know jack sh*t

      80 million goes a long way to servicing the 100 million they need to pay RBS, there you go Rafa I'm stealing your 20 million transfer budget again, we'll just tell the fans it paid for Reina's and Mascherano's contract and the refinancing can begin and once again Tom & George do not put their greasy hands into their soiled pockets and manage to hold onto %100 of Liverpool F.C with no need for investors. ;D

      Hypothetical did I hear you say ?

      How do you think they raised the 60 million last year ;)

      We won't be offered 80mill for Gerrard, maybe 2 years ago, if we are offered it however, and he wants to leave then F**k yeah, he isn't getting any younger (or apparently any more enthusiastic...)

      I think most fans would be sad to see him leave for 200 million seeing what he has done for the club - but realistically I think if Benitez got an offer upwards of 30 million, he'd sell. I wouldn't.

      Gerrard isn't worth 30m. He's more valuable than 30m if he retires as a Liverpool player. He's worth 80m if he goes off and retires somewhere else, and we reap the benefits

      Pains me to say, but we sell one of our greatest to save Liverpool FC. The cut your nose to spite the face thingy.

      I see what you are saying, but our club should not have to do that - it would be a bit like selling your soul to the devil for a million dollars or something, just would never feel the same after.

      I'm a traditionalist and romantic in that way, it just sickens me to think of measures like that being taken.

      The question ahould be would you sell Gerrard for 800 billion.....and still no :)
      although with that we could probably clone a few of him :)

      Id sell him in a heartbeat for 80m. It would appear hes going on a downward spiral already. His body is becoming ravaged by injuries,hes almost 30 and thats old for a box to box mid which is a role he rarely plays anymore,the memories hes given us are worth more than 80m but 80m if we were given to spend added to the 20-30 were supposed to have would allow us to rebuild our team and get the likes of silva,villa,di maria and lahm.

      Honestly i dont think hel leave but truth is hes only valued at about 30-35m due to his age,injury record and recent performances.

      Dont wanna see him go and wouldnt force him out but if we were offered 80m and he was interested to leave then id snap their hands off.

      yes i would stevie is past his best and the stats dont lie thats the big red flag. his contribution has been dismal. look suppose we vsay finish 6th we could be in a financial mess. 80 mill could sure come in handy. also he has played a hell of a lot of soccer and that ages the body fast

      Eaisly replace him??!!  Really?

      I think for what little words the above post displays, it says a whole lot.

      I'd never sell Gerrard. I'd just play him in the middle or on the right. We'd probably end up winning the league.

      No one is going to pay 80 milliion for Gerrard now but even if we could get 50 mn for him I would happily sell him and we have a ready replacement in Aquilani for him.

      Depends if it's 80million into the transfer kitty or not
      That is a valid point also, but I dont think that we would know until the deal had been done with these 2 sneaky little bastads who own the club.

      I personally would be gutted...and the Liverpool team would have lost its engine.

      But if its the only way the club could move forward it would be acceptbale to a certain degree, but could you ever replace Gerrard....not even with 200million.

      New avenues would have to be explored, maybe two utter class strikers instead of a big goalscoring midfielder

      NO.

      And it's not like we'd get to see much of the sale money anyway with fiddle-dum and fiddle-dummer as our owners .

      Torres and Gerrard need to stay. No sale for any money.
      To replace them with the same quality you'd need to spend the same again, or more, anyway.
      Rafa wants 3 x 20 mill players but these guys are at another level again.
      Gerrard is a 50 Mill player, Torres is 60 Mill (approx) IMO anyway.
