To be fair to Zlatan everything (I say everything, the BBC gossip column) have twisted what he said to sound malicious and spiteful, and GP has a point about English players going abroad.
A bit late for Gerrard though...

http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...rendan-RodgersLiverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed speculation Luis Suarez could sign for Manchester City in a £50m January deal.
A number of national newspapers had reported that City boss Roberto Mancini was considering trying to take the Uruguay international to the Etihad Stadium, but Rodgers insisted he wants to keep Suarez at Liverpool.
"You will have to ask Roberto Mancini about that. There will be no bidding war, he's staying here," Rodgers told Sky Sports News when asked about the reports of a possible transfer."If we lose Luis then we have no strikers, so we can't afford to lose anyone.
"He is certainly not someone we want to sell or move on. He has been a brilliant player to work with and we want to add to our squad, not take people out of it, especially a world-class player.
"Luis has already showed in the summer his commitment to the club by signing a new deal, he is scoring goals and working well.
"I'll just continue to communicate with all the players and Luis in particular. Like I say, he's very happy here."

I get the feeling Suarez will be at Liverpool for a long time, he seems to love it there and I suppose he owes it to them after all the backing he's recieved.
I'd like to think so...
He does owe the club a lot. It would be nice to see a bit of that loyalty that apparently exists. He should be playing at a higher level and with better players around him though, I just hope we can do that. And hopefully that will start in January with the double signing of Huntelaar and Walcott on January 1st.
Yes he does owe Liverpool alot but then again Van-Persie owed us and look what happend.
A lot of similarities between Suarez and Van Persie.... just one letter difference.
And it seems Chang has been sacked![]()
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...rridge-1445734Liverpool have opened negotiations with Chelsea over a possible switch for Daniel Sturridge.
The Reds' co-owners John Henry and Tom Werner are ready to back manager Brendan Rodgers in the January transfer window, and have already made overtures to the top brass at Stamford Bridge.
They have registered an interest in the £15million-rated England striker, and hope to move swiftly when the winter window opens at the turn of the year.
Rodgers will push hard to conclude any talks swiftly enough for him to get his man in the first week of January, as he wants to avoid a repeat of the problems endured in the summer.
The Liverpool boss was left in the lurch at the end of August when he allowed Andy Carroll to leave for West Ham on a season-long loan but was then denied the money to buy Fulham's Clint Dempsey, who was sold to Spurs instead, as a replacement.
Rodgers has since made clear he wants to bring in two or three players in January, with a striker his biggest priority.
Sturridge tops his list, after failing to agree a loan deal to Anfield in the summer.
Chelsea want to sell because the young forward's contract is ticking down and he would be able to engineer a move on a free transfer this time next year.
They are also looking to raise funds to help finance a widely anticipated January move for Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao.
Sturridge wants to leave the Bridge after being pushed down the pecking order by Fernando Torres - he has refused any talks over a new deal in his determination to go.
Liverpool have also made discreet enquiries about taking Jeffren, a former Barcelona striker who now plays with Sporting Lisbon, on loan.
Like Sturridge, the 24-year-old can operate as a wide man in a three-pronged forward line - Rodgers' favoured line-up.
The Reds' boss wants at least two reinforcements in those positions in January - after losing Fabio Borini to a broken foot injury, he's been using full-back Jose Enrique as an emergency front-man.
Jeffren has fallen out of favour in Portugal, and has been told he can leave on loan if the offer suits his club.
