Came across this online, which is apparently from Gerrard's new book:
'A few English clubs called but I wouldn’t play against Liverpool. There was interest from Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. It was good to know he still rated me. I was sure I could play in the Premier League for another year but there would not have been much of a buzz doing the same thing all over again with Tottenham.' Steven Gerrard
------
Gerrard was one of my favourite non-Spurs players and the one I would've most liked to have signed when he was in his prime.
Even though he was way past his best, I would've loved to have seen him here for a year or 2. The experience, especially in that position, would've been amazing for the kids. He wouldn't have played all the time obviously but he could've had a player coach role or something. I know some people on here wouldn't go near him with a barge pole nowadays but an old & past-his-best Gerrard is still better than most other midfielders in the league.
Thoughts?
