Gerrard sign new 2-year extension

[MarkD]

Great news:

 

Liverpool Football Club today confirmed Steven Gerrard has agreed a two-year extension to his current contract.

The Liverpool skipper, who has two years to run on his current deal, will soon put pen to paper on a new agreement to keep him at Anfield until at least 2013.

 

With manager Rafa Benitez and key members of his backroom team signing new contracts over the past two weeks, Gerrard's deal is another timely boost as the Reds look to end the season on a high.

 

Speaking exclusively to Liverpoolfc.tv this morning, Benitez said: "This is fantastic news for the club.

 

"Steven has once again shown his commitment and it was an easy deal to agree. As soon as we offered him the option he said yes. There were no problems at all. He wants to stay for life.

 

"This deal sends out another clear message that we are moving forward as a club. To know we have a player of Steven's quality with us for many more years is a great boost for the club and the fans.

 

"He is clearly a player who inspires those around him and even though he is playing very well at the moment, I still think his best years are ahead of him."

Didn't see that one coming. Rafa demanded that we move quicker with these things and he seems to be getting that since he signed his new contract. I hope we move this efficiently through the transfer market in the summer.

A poster on liverpoolway had this yesterday. He/She also said that Torres, Agger, Kuyt and Aurelio had agreed new deals.

brilliant.

[carrafan]

Who else are looking at contracts now? Kuyt, Arbeloa, Agger and Alonso? Think we're talking to Torres about an extension as well, but thats only to do with a payrise as he has 4 years left on his current deal.

f***ing Agger mad you are.

 

"yeah yeah, our captain, and possibly the best player in the world, has just signed a new contract with us - but what about our third choice centre-half?"

 

put it in the Agger thread

Lets be fair, Gerrard signing a new deal was always a given and Agger is important to us in the seasons to come.

 

 

We'll just be stuck with posts going 'yessssss' if the other players in line for a new deal arent talked about.

Clever timing by the club to help re-ignite the buzz after the lull of the international break
