Carragher extends Liverpool deal!!

[AGGERaphobic]

Liverpool vice-Captain Jamie Carragher has agreed a two-year contract extension that will see him stay at Anfield until June 2013.

It means the centre-half, 33, in January, is likely to end his career at the club he joined as a schoolboy.

Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce that Jamie Carragher has signed a two year contract extension that will keep him at Anfield until June 2013.

 

The Reds vice captain has been a key fixture in the side since making his debut back in January 1997 and currently ranks sixth in the club's all-time list of appearances having donned the famous shirt on no fewer than 641 occasions.

 

The No. 23 enjoyed a testimonial against Everton earlier this year and is now in the midst of his 15th season with the club.

 

He has won no fewer than 10 major honours with the Reds, including two FA Cups, two League Cups, a UEFA Cup and the Champions League.

 

 

Been a lot of discussion on here lately about Carra and whether he still warrants a place in the starting line-up, just wondering what people's thoughts are on him signing a new contract?

This day just keeps on giving. If we can start to look like a team I see no reason why Carragher can't carry on playing, we look shit right across the park. I am sure Carragher himself will know when the day comes, the day when he isn't good enough to play for us.

 

The article I read about him today was a good one, he said he can't imagine a life outside football, said he sees himself coaching, scouting or whatever. With regards to be the manager one day, he was honest with his reply, saying that you have to earn your stripes. He is making all the right noises.

[Wezza]

How nice it is to be discussing football issues. I am delighted he is staying, and I hope long term he gets involved with the coaching side of things.

[Red Banjo]

Fuckin delighted. Never in doubt really tho. His last contract as a player. Next one will be as coach or assistant hopefully.

[Ted]

Good. Fucking made up for him.

[AGGERaphobic]

Delighted he's staying, still believe he has a lot to offer especially to some of our younger players who are hoping to break through!! He is also doing his coaching badges so should fit in nicely in a couple of years and hopefully enjoy many more years with the club.

[Wee-bey]

Great news.

[derrickt]

Great servant! Deserve to win no19 before he retired!

[withnail71]

Excellent news. Another 2 years of HOOF ! HOOF ! maybe after that we can move him into a coaching role, and he can teach the centre halves of the future to give away posession over and over.

Sad.

 

Good on Jamie, he deserves his contract for all the good work he's done at the club, his commitment on the pitch is second to none. He's made some mistakes, but who hasn't?

 

I think this should be his last season as a starter, but I feel he would still be an useful player in the next years, even if he isn't a starter, a bit like Hyypia.

Sad.

08-09 should have been his last season, he has been a great servant, but IMO he is the main reason we are playing so poorly this season.

I think hell be a great help to Martin Kelly, having been in the same situation as him, hopefully Kelly will turn out as good a defender as Carragher was in his peak.

Can see only good things for young Kelly, been really impressed with him this season he's certainly not let anyone down when he's been called upon!!

[Il Fenomeno]

I'd say tactics are the main reason, they aren't suited to most of our players strengths.

 

Carragher isn't going to look as good if Hodgson plays tactics which involves trying to deal with a lot of crosses, which has never been one of Carragher's strengths.

Carragher has looked a lot more suspect since we signed Johnson. He certainly was a lot better in 08/09 when we had Arbeloa at right back.

[Liverpool lad]

I believe that the shape of the team prior to Johnson was beneficial to Carragher, he had protection from the midfield and was part of a more conventional back four.

 

With Johnson's lack of discipline and shite defensive midfielders, he will look exposed. He once had Alonso and Mascherano, he now has Poulson and Lucas to protect him.

[Phoenix]

Good for him but the contract should have been limited to one year.

Alonso was a great benefit to Carra, he would take the ball of him and had the passing range to do damage.Without Alonso Carra looks lost.

[Liverpool lad]

The whole team suffers without Alonso, he is a phenomenal player and one of a few in the world who can do what he does.

Fuck me, you are one sad boring cunt arent you?

 

You lost the club, your in debt for £141M and yet you still keep posting shite!, why dont you fuck off back across the pond and die a slow rotting death?

And take the other wanker with you.

 

 

 

PS, its "off" not "of" him

 

Fucking yanks, cant even spell.

p.s it's 'you're', not 'your'.:thumbup:

[TG3]

Fuckin hell Carra has been an excellent servant and is deserving of a new contract. I think Carra has been more exposed and made to look worse than he actually is particularly because of Johnson. Johnson is defensively inept and as a result the whole defence is under more pressure than it should but Carra will feel that effect moreso being on the right sided centre half
