The LA Galaxy can finally begin their Steven Gerrard countdown! **Bring out the Stevie G stop watch**
Steven Gerrard played his last game for Liverpool FC in May, where he managed to make time to squeeze in his 185th goal against Stoke City. After 17 years at his home-town club, Gerrard is ready to make his way over to the US.
He will have to wait it out until July 8th, however, because he is not able to start his new life in the US until the summer transfer window opens up.
Bruce Arena said the following to reporters regarding Gerrard, as reported by LAGalaxy.com:
“We expect him here before July 11,” Arena told reporters after training while also confirming that Gerrard will take some time away before joining the Galaxy. “We haven’t finalized a date yet. He will be here, he’ll get some training in and by the time that he’s eligible to play; he’ll be ready to go.”
Former Liverpool teammate, Robbie Keane, also spoke to the media about the issue:
“His season is done now and like everyone, we’re looking forward to getting him in our squad,” Keane said.
“Like I said before, I did not come here for a holiday; I came here to win things. Some players do come for a holiday, but Stevie is certainly not one of those players as I said [in the article],” said Keane. “Unless people haven’t seen him play, Stevie is not one of those players, he’s a born winner and he likes to win things. I’m speaking on behalf as myself as I’ve said since my first press conference [back in 2011].
“People like Steven Gerrard are the players that we want in this team and in this organization because they’re the winners. They’re players that want to win and still want to achieve and win things regardless of what else they’ve accomplished in their career. They still have the hunger to play and to train, and that’s the same as me.”
