Good luck to him, he deserves it.

See now I think people that come back fat and unprofessional from pre-season dont deserve it. Fair play he has turned it around although not sure he is good enough really.

I really like Gerrard, he was a class act towards the end of last season and played with such passion. Just really dissapointed to see how big he was coming back after pre season.

I'd love to see him back in a city shirt but Hudson is looking immense lately and Keinan has been a class act.

Gerard is a good player. The biggest problem last season was that Hudson, Gerrard and Gypes are all very similar and needed a Keinan type player next to them.

hudson was poor last season though! lets not start thinking that it was other players faults! ... our great end of season run started when he was out injured and we messed up the play-off 2nd leg and final with him back in the team! INSTEAD of GERRARD!

His own fault for coming back bigger than the beast

He's the type of player we need. Full of passion. Loved his tiff with Marshall at Forest last season. :lol:

he's younger than olly , olly was unable to prevent hull getting relagated last season he's quite injury prone.. passing his peak also and would need to step it up a level next season.
one thing he has is experience though
I'd take back Gerrard back based on the proneness of olly's injury's and age

I remember 2 seasons ago when we got dismantled at Preston 6-0 and proceeded to f**k up on reaching the play offs, there were loads of aquisations about the team and management of a lack of fight, bottle and a willingness to fight tooth and nail for every 50/50 ball and to tackle anything that moved. I was one of the loudest one's in calling the players bottlers and lacking passion for the fight, it's a bit sad to see that maybe the class of 2010/2011 are possibly rightly being accused of lacking some of those same qualities by some posters. A player like Gerrard is always an asset to teams as every team needs players who are battlers and no nonsense 100% committed players, you can have as many pretty ball playing players as you like in the team, if they lack passion and commitment they're less likely to succeed unless you have the battlers like Gerrard in the side to redress the balance. Would love him back here!.

I loved Gerrard's commitment as much as everybody else....
but his distribution from the back was absolutely awful, like seriously bad, all he ever did was hoof the ball up field every time he was under any sort of pressure
and that's exactly the type of centre back we dont need right now, cos i think we definitely need to get the ball down on the deck more
and why i was/still am glad that Gerrard was let go
