Klopp has said Gerrard is welcome to train in the off season but nothing else. So no coaching or involvement in club matters.

Hope so
Need to push forward, not dwell in the past. Stevie was a great servant but his time has passed.

He actually said that a playing role wasnt mentioned bu stevie in the article i read. So therefore Klopp said they didn't speak about it. don't think he will be bk in a LFC shirt playing again. wouldn't mind though.

I would. He's part of our past and should stay there.

I'm glad many fans recognizes that Gerrard's time as a player for Liverpool is over and rightly so. As much as he's a legend, it is time for others to step up and bring the club forward the way Gerrard did in his prime. Klopp should not be pressured to bring back ex-stars but rather bring in whoever he feels is right for his style and vision. That would include future signings or no signings at all if he can somehow utilize and improve our current crop of players. I would be more than happy to see our current squad perform well than keep buying and buying without producing the goods eventually. But I have no doubt that Klopp will surely get some players in or out. but not like 6 or 7 players like Rodgers did.

Personally I would be happy with Gerrard training with the club then maybe playing in a couple of cup or Europa league games if needs be, especially if Allen ends up leaving as I didn't think we looked great against Sion (I think) where chiravella and rossiter were the midfield pair. One of them with Gerrard to help him out experience wise would be handy. Judging from how Klopp is taking the majority of the squad to these Thursday night games I think he intends on taking it seriously so an extra midfield body for any games he'd he available for wouldn't be the end of the world.
{Ed002's Note - If registered as a player I would think the FA would have no option but to charge him with at least one count. If he trains with the first team he will be an unnecessary distraction.}

Everyone complained hoe Rodgers didn't use the youth and now half the fans want a club legend who's struggling to keep up to speed in MLS to come back and block more paths to the first team! Move on people and look to the future.

Didi speak sense: “We all know what Steven Gerrard did for the club, but even if he does just train, if a central midfielder gets injured, the first question at the press conference will be, ‘Are you going to give him a contract? ’"
“And that’s the last thing Klopp needs — constant speculation about Steven Gerrard. I’m not sure even training with them is a good idea. â€.

swish - Sorry but reading the posts I don't see where you get "half the fans" want Stevie back as a player. From what I read we on this and other posts is that we are all happy to see the youth players get a chance and Stevie train with the club at the very most!
