Luis Suarez signs new contract

[kalasoma]

As someone pointed out, he stays beyond January which means that we will be able to attract new signings in the January transfer window. It shows that we're thinking about the future, we're able to hold onto our best players, pay them a decent wedge, and we're legit players in the top 4 of the best league in the world^tm.  Losing players to Spurs, is hopefully a thing of the past.

 

Good times. Let's keep it up.

[WhiskeyJar]

Wow. That happened so quickly - these things normally get drawn out for months.

 

Chuffed.

 

Thats the best thing about it, the fact that it happened so fast.

Guardian:

Luis Suárez has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new long-term contract to take him to 2018.

His current contract, which was due to expire in two and half years, pays him £120,000 a week, but under the terms of the new four-and-a-half year deal that will rise to £170,000 a week for this season, and then £200,000 per week for the remainder of the contract.

 

Does that make him our highest earner?

[Barnesey]

Thats the best thing about it, the fact that it happened so fast. 

Except we don't know how long it has been going on for. Rodgers mentioned a new contract months ago.

 

The best thing is it has been done in private until the last knockings.

 

But that's just nitpicking. Brilliant signing and a catalyst for others in Jan (I hope).

I would have given him 250K. Fuckin FSG etc etc...

[stringvest]

Does that make him our highest earner?

 

apart from George Sephton.  Actually George used to be the highest earner before they relocated his box from under the roof of the stands.

 

Carragher of course, was on £300K a week on his last contract.

[kalasoma]

Does that make him our highest earner?

 

Beat me to it. I reckon it does. Gerrard was the highest earner at the club at 140K (weekly) from the last table I checked.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

FSG are the worst asset strippers ever.

[therevivalist]

A bolt out of the blue this one. You could see it coming but never thought it would happen so fast. Only yesterday Rodgers was saying there's is no rush or something to that effect.

 

 The best Christmas present I could remember getting. Congratulations Redmen.

Carragher of course, was on £300K a week on his last contract.

 

He is still getting 100k every seven days as part of his buyout.

Not enough dancing going on:

Carragher of course, was on £300K a week on his last contract.

 

Whilst this is definitely true, it's only about a third of what we're still paying Aquilani.

[bizzle10]

this is the best news it sends a message that we are back in buisness we keep one of the best player on the planet and allows us to attract more players in january or the summer a player of luises quality is simply impossible to replace look at bale and spurs

[WhiskeyJar]

 

[Torvald Utne]

Whilst having no bearing on how long he will be with us it should ensure we get a decent amount for him, I'll hold off on the dancing though.

[spider-neil]

If there is a release clause I bet Suarez's agent made darn sure to read the small print this time around.

[stringvest]

I just hope he hasn't insisted on it being less than 40 million.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Unbelievable I didn't think their was a hope in hell. I just hope the clause isn't too low and rules out English sides. He's phenomenal. The most talented footballer I've seen play for us.

[spider-neil]

Hoping for an excess of 80m. Suarez should be going for more than Ronaldo and Bale.

[WhiskeyJar]

Whilst having no bearing on how long he will be with us it should ensure we get a decent amount for him, I'll hold off on the dancing though.

 

At least it ensures that we keep him beyond January.

He is ours for the foreseeable future, and I am happy with that. 

 

Details on the contract will surface soon I am sure.

[Captain]

I'm absolutely, fucking delighted! Made my weekend that has.

 

Let's hope the club can get at least one top player in January so we can make a real push for a top four finish. It's critical that we squeeze in there this season.

[Torvald Utne]

At least it ensures that we keep him beyond January.

He is ours for the foreseeable future, and I am happy with that.

 

Details on the contract will surface soon I am sure.

Not really, if real Madrid offer £80m in January he'll still be gone

[Brigant Moloch]

I won't believe it till I see a picture of him with pen in his hand.

 

 

 

edit: ok I saw it, get the fuck in.
