"Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea. But I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I'm one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player."
Says Alex Ferguson
I reckon this might be partly because hes not played consistently at the highest level with his club football so ferguson feels there is some unrealised potential there.
thoughts?

To be honest it just sounds like his usual bitterness because Gerrard turned him down.

SAF is just bitter that both Lampard and Gerrard kicked his beloved little ginger, "best English player ever" Scholes out of the England team.

No more need to be said after he tried to sign him 3 times that was it . Big time contradiction, the best eng midfielder of his generation.

Lampard is garbage one of the most overrated footballers ever. Half of his goals are either penalties or deflected shots.

think you guys may have missed the point.
In 2004 fergie thought based on Gerrard form at the time and potential he was going to be truly great.
2013 he probably didn't think Gerrard hit the heights of the true greats.
He's hardly saying Gerrard his tosh. I actually believe the above sentiments.
