Chances are they wouldn't have gone for VdV if they had Gerrard.ResurrectionRooney wrote:Dan wrote:ResurrectionRooney wrote:Why would Zidane need replacing in 2004?

2 years, and if Gerrard would onyl get into the team when Zidane had retired, then surely it should be 2006-08 When you consider that they signed van der Vaart in 2007, it should actually just be 2006-7.

back to the topic, it's probably because the foreign leagues don't value physical prowess as much as technical or mental ability, for which english players are noted by their relative absence.
i meant in terms of the football ear, not the calendar year. 04/05, 05/06, 06/07, and 07/08ResurrectionRooney wrote:04-08 is a 5 year period.

ZZ retired after the 06 world cup, he made the point that the 04-08 gerrard would have been his replacement. even if he was 2 years off retirement.Danny wrote:He said in 2004 he was a year away from retirement.ricky//habana wrote:04-08 is a 4 year period btwDanny wrote:Or 2..Dan wrote:ResurrectionRooney wrote:Why would Zidane need replacing in 2004?

They bought Ronaldo, Kaka, and Alonso didn't they? Can't see them being too interested in Gerrard..
Unless they were after him before Alonso.
