He'll go to arsenal. No way would he pick us over arsenal. I think we only showed interest as backup to Allen. Now we have him i don't see how he would fit in the team.
How do you know that? Perhaps he realizes he has a far better chance of playing for us than them? Perhaps he'll want to go to a club that has less competition for spots after his last year at Madrid where he played three n' a half minutes?
As for the second sentence - that's debatable. Perhaps we are actively seeking a player who can replace Gerrard for 20-30 games? Rodgers isn't a fool - he realizes the chances of Gerrard playing 40 games this year are as high of us signing Neymar this year (he's signing after the World Cup in '14).
