good news

[Juniper]

Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann looks set to sign another new deal at Anfield after convincing Rafael Benitez he was right to keep him on.

 

Towards the end of last season, Hamann was rumoured to be on a list of players deemed surplus to requirements and looked set to be leaving for Bolton.

 

However, after the Germany international played a key role in Liverpool's Champions League success in May, Benitez decided to offer the 32-year-old a new one-year deal.

 

Now the former Bayern Munich star has agreed a 12-month extension until the end of the 2006/7 campaign and therefore looks likely to end his career with the Reds.

 

Hamann is still sidelined following Michael Essien's horror challenge during their Champions League clash earlier this month but could be fit to face his former club Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Great news!

Legend.

[LiverpoolFreak]

bloody oath it is!

I'd have let Didi go in the summer. Not because I don't rate him, but because I couldn't see how we could accomodate his lack of pace any more; ditto Sami. Thankfully Rafa knew what he was doing and we've retained two massive players, both in terms of experience/mentality and quality on the pitch. Rafa knows.

[GeoffM]

Good news indeed, very under-rated player imo, any big games aand you can rely on Didi to put in a huge performance.

Really? I don't know a single Red who doesn't thinks he's class.

Agree but few non-reds see how good he is.

 

Didi is an absolute legend.

didnt really come out the way i meant it to. Was referring to the ignorant baffoons who aren't Reds. obviously appreciated by those who understand the game, but never seems to receive the praise he deserves. the lad is class. Fact! :yes:

With you. Fuck them; non-Red opinions count for shit.

:wallbutt: FFS!

 

Your grammar is getting worse by the day. Have you been looking at bluekipper or something?

 

PS. Didi rules

PPS. I retract that. Didi fucking rules.

Peter, Peter, Peter. You've fallen into my "Good God, he really is fallible" trap, haven't you? As I tell the kids at work, sometimes I pretend I don't know everything just to keep you on your toes - but I really do.*

i don't see how this is news ... i thought when he signed in the summer it was a 12 monther with another 12 months if he played more than something like 20 times. he can't be far away from that now, so it's just triggering an exisiting clause in his contract. i'm quite happy for him to stay though if he's happy with his current squad role.

He has now got 17 games. When he reach 22 games he gets another 12 months, according to Daily Post.He is doing a supurb squad role. Class as ever.

yeah, he's doing a fine job ... but it just all seems a bit of a none story to me. it's like it's breaking news it's thursday today or something.

[Nunavut Patrick]

I love Hamann so much I refuse to watch the Fawlty Towers episode ...Don't Mention the War...

 

He's a legend and it would be criminal if he didn't get the last piece of the Kaiser Pie, a domestic championship.

You certainly have, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from his solicitor soon. As soon as he's dealt with the Bob Monkhouse people claiming that Hermes has been stealing his jokes without crediting the source.

 

At least Hermes hasn't (yet) charged people for the privilige, though I'm sure some of the newcomers from KT wouldn't mind lining his pockets ;)

Great news. Didi is a proper leg-end.

Great News. Didi is one of Liverpool's unsung heros. IMO he made all the difference in Istanbul.

 

I hope he ends his career with us and moves into a coaching role :yes:

[Rashid]

Absolute Leg. The Scouse Kaiser.

Unsung? I am not sure aboot that. Admittedly, I thought he was finished but since the end of last season, and most notably the Champions League Final, he has been immense. He's our World Cup finalist, Champions League winning Kaiser. With his trophy haul and the amount of high-profile games he has played in , he is nothing other than a class act. His ability to clear-up with intelligence and bravery is a fundamental requirement to success in the English game. Hopefully he will be able to teach Momo a trick or two before he leaves. Didi runs on empty and will even play with broken bones, making him a Liverpool hero, imo.

[On My Perch]

he was my favourite player (none LFC) in the prem, the season before he signed for us! i hope he gets the full set before he go's. LEGEND.

The Sao Paolo game showed that Momo has a long way to go on that score. Didi can read the game beautifully and it will take Momo a while to develop that.

[bigredruss]

looked good this year with squad rotation, well worth another year. legend

[SouthAfricaRed]

Unsung? I am not sure aboot that.

 

He doesn't pick up enough Man Of the Match awards for me. He's so solid. Best example for Momo there is. Hope Momo learns from the master. ;)
