If i am not mistaken at the end of this season, harry only has a year left on his contract.

do you think he will be offered a new one and when?

At the end of this season he will have 2 years left, if my memory serves me right (he signed a 5 year deal). If his form continues through to the end of the year we may try to extend but we may also wait till after the world cup as we may get some big offers.

 

Personally i think Rafa will want to see how Gonzales settles in and how Harry's form/fitness is next year and make a decision next january. If he is still fit and in form i can see Harry getting a new contract regardless of Gonzales form as I believe Harry will be used at times as the second striker (eg last season at leeds) where his intelligence can be devastating.

 

But i'm an Ozzie to so this is biased as well. :bleh::lol:

 

There aren't many players in the Premier League better than a fully fit Harry Kewell, so why not.

 

Thats probably a better choice of wording AussieRed, reads a little better. Remember he still has more to do to convince some (not us biased Ozzie's though ;) )

Hey don't worry, i agree. Still think it will 12months b4 he gets that contract though just to see how he goes injury and form wise. Unless Rafa feels they can sign him cheaper b4 the world cup but i doubt Harry would. He will wait till after the World cup and see what his options are after that IMO.

same view on the second striker part, esp in away games.

 

but even if mark gonzalez did well, i don't see an 'only one survive' situation for our left midfielders/ wingers. everyone knows we are going to play a great number of matches, and are in need of cover -- if we are to challenge the title, we should line up at least two *quality* players for each position. if harry keeps playing like this, he will deffo be in rafa's plan. don't worry :)

Quelle surprise. :lol:

 

On a totally different matter, anyone know what Jari is up to at the moment?

 

You may sneer RP, but Kewell was very clearly our man of the match last night, and has been very consistent for some time now,

 

I know some people love to think that HK is just a 'favourite' for some of us, but might it be because he's a very very good player ?

I also think he is a very good player and I am delighted to see him returning to form - why wouldn't I??

 

But I do smile at the appearance of so many fans from Australia and it is funny to remember the lifelong Finnish Reds who we don't actually see any more. I wonder if there are any parrallels to be drawn?

Carry on playing like last night (he was excellent, fantastic first half with pace, touch, vision) and generally over the last 9-10 games & it's a certainty.

 

I see Harry close up (when he's attacking the Anny Road end) on the left from the Paddock & he's brimming confidence at present.

He has that belief & almost a swagger at present-long may it continue.

Links well with JAR as well down the flank.

 

I always hoped & believed that we'd see the real Harry this season & it's going to plan.

as a footnote, from memory, he set Robbie up for a few goals at their Leeds overlap from memory also.

Not too different to locals claiming Fowler looked slim and fit last night!

I think he did. Look. Slim. Not. Fit.

His movement was excellent though.

I'm not a lifelong Liverpool fan. I only started supporting Liverpool the day Kewell signed.

 

Last season, because he was injured, I hardly watched a game.

Most games are at odd hours anyway because you poms are in the ar*e end of the world, and I even turned the TV off when he went off injured so early in the European Cup final.

 

Who's this Bobby Flower we've just signed? We should have signed Viduka.

Kewell was superb last night - he looks so quick and strong, Melchiot was soiling himself every time he ran at him, and the Dutchman isn't the slowest defender in the Premier League.

 

People talk about Fowler being God - I genuinely thought only divine intervention could make Harry Kewell move as quickly as he used to again, but somehow Rafa and his team have helped him get there.

 

With that pace back, he is as good as anyone - delighted to see him doing so well (as I predicted at the start of the season :)).

So why don't you call yourself AussieKewell then. I take it you followed Leeds before?

Absolutely. I think he's back to 90% of what he was. Soon he will be winning games for us if his progress continues.

Agreed. Back in August I said by the time Janurary comes around Kewell should be back to his best and scoring.
