    "Well first of all, I have spent a long time talking with Steven (Gerrard) on it, because I know how much it means to him, to captain his country. And being the wonderful captain he has been. But Liverpool is everything to him. And there is certainly no doubt that by missing out on the international football that will make him fresher. And he will be ready to be at his optimal level as often as he possibly can. So I think for us at Liverpool it is great and it brings an end what has been a great career for England."

    "Luis (Suarez) in my two years at the club has been sensational in his game. Of course, there have been issues that have been well documented but it is in the past really. He was a brilliant player for us - for me. I will always see him as a good man and a good friend. He gave everything to Liverpool and he left Liverpool after his time as a world class talent. And it is obviously a shame that he is not here. But Liverpool as a club is bigger than any individual - I have said it before and I will repeat it again. He is a fantastic player but we will move forward and there is real excitement going into this season. You know, we have qualified for the Champions League - we went close on the (English Premier League) title. I am really excited about the players that we have brought in - young players with great profile to play how we want to play. And that will allow us to go on and hopefully continue to progress."
