Gerrard: I was right to stay
-
Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool's success in Europe has vindicated his decision to stay at Anfield.
The England international came close to leaving his boyhood club for Chelsea two years ago before a last-minute change of heart saw him stay on Merseyside.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho accused Gerrard of lacking ambition for snubbing the move to Stamford Bridge.
But Gerrard feels Liverpool's victory over Chelsea in their UEFA Champions League semi-final meeting proved he was right to reject the overtures of Chelsea and remain at Anfield.
"I always knew I made the right decision," Gerrard told the website.
"Obviously a few people questioned that at the time. But I have been at this club since I was eight.
"I knew where I was welcome, I knew where I wanted to play my football.
"Luckily for me, everything's turned out right."
Gerrard is in talks with Liverpool over a new contract and the midfield dynamo envisages no problems with the negotiations.
"I am ready to sign a new contract," added Gerrard. "I am in talks now with Liverpool.
"As soon as they give me the nod it will be signed." -
yes, for all other teams.
cause if you join Chelsea, it will be the end of title race, and even UCL.. -
isnt winning the premiership the main thing?
-
i never doubted his decision to stay cos i don see anywhere else he could go where he would be worshiped just as much

Yeah, had he gone to chelsea, he would have been like "just one of the players"... But at Pool he is like a King.
