[lfc_1892]

Great news. Next for Momo to sign a contract extension

[Shaggy]

A relaxing smoke of what?lol

Skunk, obv.

That one ?

That's the one mate.

I'm ducking out of work at lunchtime and will watch a bit of it later. I'll keep an eye out for a man smoking rollies in the crowd

Although I've packed in smokin' tabs and I'm not taking any smoke with me. No need, I don't think. 20 pints should suffice.

[Kaip]

My nipper will be very happy

[Diego]

On SSN now....he's signed a new five year deal.

Yessssssss

excellent news, now lets get some new players in, and we can all have a relaxing summer not worrying about who's going to be in the team next season

Great news

"I greatly appreciate all the hard work that Rick Parry has put in on this contract and the faith that Rafa Benitez has shown in me. We all wanted to reach an agreement and we're all happy with the outcome.

"I want to be part of what lies ahead because I know it is going to be exciting. I've signed for another five years and there's no reason why we can't be successful.

"It's also good news to see that other players have signed new contracts this week. Stevie, Carra and Pepe are all big players for us and it's great they have all shown their commitment. I'm sure the manager will be bringing in new players as well and that the new owners will be making a big effort to improve the squad."

These last 3 paragraphs are very interesting in paticular the bold bits. It seem the contract negotiations have gone very smoothly and quickly this time round which is good. His comments are very close to what Stevie G said when he signed.

And hopefully the Parry bashers will take notice.

Haven't you noticed a difference in the players? They seem so excited about the new owners, and that is why i think the tag that 'the owners haven't got that much money' is all a smokescreen.

Back to Alonso, brilliant news. 4 world class players signed now

Fantastic news - I love Xabi, and I love Fridays!!

[Taffy]

Excellent news that Xabi has agreed/signed a new deal.

He's the future of LFC and if he gets out of the blocks well next season I predict a great year for the lad. His game is a lot about confidence, and if he can get in on the action early and stamp his authority on the games then I see Xabi being a key figure for us in our quest for glory. Xabi is the one we need to look for to set the tempo of the game early and with Stevie's strong running and athleticism it could give us the start we need after a good rest over the summer months.

With Stevie, Xabi, Carra and Pepe now signed up, with Momo and Finnan to follow we can look forward to some new aquisitions soon!

[Kinell]

****ing Yesssssssssssssss!

[kopash]

Absolutely delighted.

Echoing thoughts above, we must have cash and not need to swap any of our players to get our targets. And the players seem to like Rafa's future plans - so who are we to argue.

Relax fellas - Rafa/Parry/Americans know what they are doing!!

[Eth]

So this must mean we're not signing eto'o now then - I can't believe that Ricky Parry fell to the money grabbing ******* that Alonso is and agreed to his demands - the facts are that Xabi wasn't happy. I'm not happy.




THIS IS ****IN GREAT NEWS - XABI IS ONE OF THE BEST MIDFIELDERS IN THE WORLD!!!! I'D HAVE BEEN GUTTED IF WE HAD'VE LOST HIM. NOW WE NEED TO SIGN UP MOMO AND THE MASCHER
