Excellent news

[Guest My Giddy Aunt]

Great news.

 

I don't think i'm exaggerating to say he is one of Liverpools all time greats (there's quite a few of them mind!).

[Conrad]

magnificent that he's going to get to the 10 year mark. A terrific servant to the club.

[Guest GrandpaSimpson]

Quality

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

brilliant.

 

he just needs the Premiership to complete his set. I've always felt (superstitiously) that we'll either do it with him in the squad, or never do it while the others who just need that one trophy are still with us.

[Swipe]

Had a brilliant season.

 

Few rusty moments when he first came in for Agger, but has he put a foot wrong since?

 

Brilliant player.

[stressederic]

Absolutely delighted. A proper, proper legend.

It certainly appears to be the consensus

[Walrus]

Absolutely delighted. A proper, proper legend.

[Coyler]

He's been really good, thanks be to God.

 

It's mad, I almost think of him as some kind of Gary Mac figure now. You'd think he wasn't picked for three years and then stepped up.

[Benzo-13]

Absolutely delighted. A proper, proper legend

 

Seriously, though. He's all-time XI stuff. Be great if he could get that last medal for his collection!

[psl]

Great news. Hopefully he adds another couple of European Cup medals and a league title to hos collection in that time.

 

Well in Sami, can't wait for the testimonial.

[Rich Gobey]

Absolutely legendary.

 

Proper, proper delighted.

The best news of the season.

[RP]

Seriously, though. He's all-time XI stuff.

 

 

Overstating it a bit/lot.

[Gilps]

Good stuff

 

Sami Hyypia today spoke of his delight after a agreeing a new deal which will take him into a tenth season at Anfield.

 

Despite interest from other clubs, the 34-year-old Finnish defender admitted it never crossed his mind to leave and that he's thrilled to be given the chance to clock up a decade of service with the Reds.

 

"I'm delighted that everyone wants me to stay here," he said. "I have a good relationship with everyone at the club, the fans and the players, so it would have been a big wrench for me to leave.

 

"But I wasn't thinking about it too much. The most important thing for me was to concentrate on the games and if I played well then maybe the club would want me to stay.

 

"I would have had some options to go elsewhere but everything here has been great and I have enjoyed everything about my time here.

 

"It's not so common for a foreign player in this country to spend ten years at one club so I am delighted to stay with this great club.

 

"We will see what next year brings. I will keep working hard and keep myself fit and whenever the manager needs me I will be there."

No Mention of Rafa

 

Obvious signs that the relationship is strained between the two! (at least that would have been what everyone would say if that was gerrard instead of Hyypia saying this)

[Spike]

if only Duncan Disorderly was here to post a picture of a big wrench

I have better things to do over the weekend than come on here to update you all.

 

Possibly.

[Guest GrandpaSimpson]

Sami always says the right things. Legend.
