If declan rice is worth 105m, what would a prime Steven Gerrard be worth? At least double imo?
{Ed025's Note - 8M I would say port..

I can't remember if Mourinho ever made an official bid for Gerrard when manager of Chelsea? Anyone remember how much if he did?

We rejected £30m or £35m when Parry screwed up Gerrard's contract in 2005. But that was 2005, and £30-£35m was the highest fee paid for anyone (Essien to Chelsea) that season.

Would be mental to think what some midfielders from recent years would be worth now in their prime Stevie, Scholes, Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta and Ronaldinho to name a few.

Zidane was over 50 million. At the time it was a Bonkers record and still the best business any club has ever done. I still feel bad for any fans who never got to see that genius play football.
{Ed025's Note - he was quality aoe, bit of a ping putter mind but besides that he was world class mate..

At a time when the transfer fees were lower, I seem to remember that Chelsea bid around £30-£40m for him with 1 year left? Is that about right Eds?
Also wasn't there a poster here called "Stevie G's Left Peg" a while back?
{Ed001's Note - it was around that much yes.}

We will never have a midfielder as good as Gerrard it’s near impossible but I do have high hopes for Trent in that position. Good to see Elliot also doing well for u21’s hope he keeps improving.

@bfddom absolutely agree had it all - skill, work rate and all of them could ‘put their foot in’. My favourite combo since the 80’s.

Not sure any club would have been able to afford the likes of Pele, R9 and Maradona today.
