Gerrard delighted to have Dalglish on board

"My first response to the news was, 'Great, get him in now' because the man is a legend," the Liverpool skipper told the official site. "It's a great idea to get Kenny in because it would give the club a massive lift.

"If I was a young player again and a number of clubs wanted to sign me, if Kenny Dalglish came to me and asked me to sign for Liverpool then there is only one place I would go."
