Sell Stevie
ESPN's Soccernet crew sure are banging the 'Gerrard ought to leave Liverpool' drum hard of late.
Take, for example, The Insider's report from Anfield last weekend, which was less descriptive of the action on the pitch and more prescriptive about what should happen come the summer: sell Stevie, collect £35m, and let Rafa go on a spending spree (paging Vicente and Aimar).
Couple that with Phil Ball's glowing piece about neighbor Xabi Alonso ("He has a flat just around the corner from me") and one cannot help but conclude that the logic of Gerrard's departure is obvious. Or, Abramovich has ESPN in his pocket.
