Must be pretty painful when we're doing pretty well without him.

On our current form, I wouldn't start him even when he's fully fit.

Spearing > Gerrard

I wouldnt go as far as to say that lol. But it must be hard to see that the team is playing better without you. Hopefully he is fit for a full pre season

Stevie, sad to say, needs a ready-made replacement this summer as he's getting too physically fragile - & Spearing sure as anything is not it.

C. Adam is good for dead ball situations but I don't think he could hack it for us - too big a step up imo ( anyone remember Robbie Keane ?). We definitely need someone creative in the middle to spray the ball around & pull the strings for us.
