LFC Sunday wrap: Gerrard on Anelka, Benitez on the owners, Crouch on his future
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said the Anfield club 'made a mistake' by not signing Nicolas Anelka.
He said: "Every club makes a couple of mistakes in the transfer market and we made one when we didn't sign Nicolas Anelka in 2002.
"Nicolas was top class for us and I thought he'd done enough to stay. He was a good lad around the dressing-room as well.
"I've always thought it was a shame he's not still with us. What made it doubly disappointing for me was I knew how desperate he was to sign on a permanent deal at the time.
"Unfortunately, these decisions are taken and it's only when you look back later you can make a judgement. I don't think anyone will deny we got that one wrong."
