Jose: Chelsea snub was Gerrard's loss


Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is sure Steven Gerrard's decision to reject a move to Stamford Bridge will hurt the Liverpool captain more than the Premiership champions.

Last year Chelsea were on the brink of signing England midfielder Gerrard, only for the player to have a last-minute change of heart and stay at Anfield.


Again this summer a move to Chelsea looked a real possibility for Gerrard as his contract talks broke down, but Liverpool finally came up with a deal the 25-year-old felt comfortable signing.

While Gerrard lifted the Champions League trophy for Liverpool last season, Mourinho led Chelsea to their first league title in 50 years and won the Carling Cup too.

And the Portuguese is convinced the next 10 years will show Gerrard was wrong to turn down his advances.

'Gerrard is a great player and we want an English core very much,' Mourinho told The Times. 'We normally play a midfield triangle and you can imagine that Gerrard and (Frank) Lampard, with (Claude) Makelele just behind them as protection, could be a very strong team but I think it is Gerrard's loss more than Chelsea's.

'Why? Because Chelsea have good solutions; a good team with the conditions to improve and a club which will be one of the best in the world in a short period of time.

'So when he decides not to join this club, I think it will be a loss for him, for his career.

'He can say `I was European champion at Liverpool' and I have to say that is correct.

'But I can say to him in the next 10 years we will compare trophies at Chelsea and trophies at Liverpool. And he will lose.'
