LIVERPOOL captain Steven Gerrard has admitted to Liverpool’s official website that he is very excited at the prospect of Brendan Rodgers’ new signings.
Liverpool have already confirmed four exciting summer signings, with Kolo Toure, Iago Aspas, Luis Alberto and most recently Simon Mignolet making the move to Anfield, and Gerrard has admitted he is impressed with the speed with which the club have concluded their summer transfer business so far.
The skipper also thinks that Liverpool supporters have reason to be excited for the next season.
Speaking at a charity golf day in Portugal, Gerrard said: “Especially with the news of us making a few signings, I’m really looking forward to getting started. It’s always important to get faces in as soon as possible; they can get a full pre-season under their belt, get to know the lads and how the manager wants to play.
“There are some exciting names in there so everyone is excited.”
Gerrard has openly admitted that he has not seen much of the Spanish signings, Alberto and Aspas, in action but maintains confidence in Brendan Rodgers’ transfer judgement.
“I know very little about them, but I have got a lot belief and confidence in Brendan and the scouting department that they are going to make the right decisions and I have seen bits and bobs of new signings we have made
“I am really looking forward to getting back to work next week and seeing what the new players have got to offer and see if they can help strengthen our squad to put in a better fight for a top-four finish.”

BR…LFC ….forget to sign Elia…
Pls look Atsu ,Capel and others.
For the sake of SG, BR and LFC should at least get a couple of well known players who can help SG lift a few more trophies before he steps down. I personally wish to see him win the EPL crown at least once. He deserves it more than anyone else.
Yeah,he has to be excited for the ne faces but in my opinion the Manager and his Managing Director have to fight for Mukhitaryan.He is magnicent player which any team would like to have.I’ll be happy if Liverpool will sign him.
What can Gerrard do if he feels those are lousy players ??? He is the captain and have to say nice things even for Roy Hodgson . Anyway, we should remember Gerrard famous “golf trick” comment for Joe Cole.
pls rodger,don’t forget to sign mkhitaryan.he iz a quality player.don’t let totteham,anzi nd dortmand hijack him from us o…we need him in the team.
pls rodger.mkhitaryan signature will take us back to the champions league spot…don’t let anzi sign him.pls
Yeah right. Like Stevie is excited by that average lot !!!
Gerrard will always come out with the politically correct statements, he’s not exactly gonna come out publicly and say ‘we’ve signed more sh**!’ Inwardly he’s probably crying his heart out.
As he has been since Rodgers took over. He must really love playing with Joe Allen and Borini…NOT
Stevie G., is and will always be the greatest Red.
No need of remind Brendan to sign mkhitaryan, if he needs him, he will sign him.. and if he doesnt need him.. he wont, and one thing, COME ON PEOPLE , HAVE TRUST ON YOUR MANAGER..!
Don’t be silly. Rodgers is David Brent ….totally useless !!!
Stevie is very PC these days. No way he is ‘very excited’ about these mediocre players
EXCITED,,,,,,,……..????;;;;???? Stevie is a nice guy
