Former Liverpool forward Ryan Babel has stated that Steven Gerrard told him that the club would regret the Dutchman’s departure from the club:
“Liverpool have not made full use of my skills. It was the same under Rafa Benitez as it was with Roy Hodgson. I think Kenny Dalglish would have given me a fair chance. Steven Gerrard was a great inspiration. He often said that I should not give up. When I left Steven also said to me that he was convinced of my qualities and I still can be a big player. ‘Liverpool will regret your departure’, were his last words he said to me.”
Babel has scored one goal in 16 matches since departing for German club Hoffenheim.
This week it is former Miss World and LFC fan Rosanna Davison!

This is what Gerrard said last August:
Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool are set for a bright new era under Roy Hodgson after the “horror” of last season – and claims that the new signing Joe Cole is better than Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.
Gerrard, in an interview with Match of the Day magazine, said the new manager has already given Liverpool a lift after a disappointing seventh-place finish last season.
“It’s a great club and after speaking with Roy Hodgson I’m really pleased to see his plans for the club. It’s a new era now – we must forget about the horror of what happened last season and get this club back to where it belongs, which is the Champions League at the very least.”
Gerrard said Cole, signed in July on a Bosman from Chelsea, has the ability to drive the team forward.
“[Lionel] Messi can do some amazing things, but anything he can do Joe can do as well, if not better. He used to shock us in training by doing footy tricks with a golf ball that most players can’t even do with a football. I really fancy Joe for the [player of the year] award this season.”
Lol!
