The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.

I know that nobody can become a star without a team.

I don't want to spend money the club doesn't have; I don't want to hold a player that doesn't want to stay.

It would be fantastic to have the two top-ranked players in the world playing out of the same club.

It's inevitable now, because everyone is a superstar, even if they're just an average player, and maybe that was part of the process set in motion when I signed that contract in 1994.

The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.

I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.

There's a tacit understanding among clubs that a good player shouldn't miss out on the big break of his career or a chance at exponentially improved earnings.

There are a handful of legacy clubs like the Dodgers in each league. They're in major markets and have a history of winning where, if you do things right, there's an enormous upside.
