Jamie Carraghers contract talks

[Bender]

Jamie Carragher faces an anxious wait to see if he is going to be offered a new contract by Liverpool.

The Kop cult-hero’s deal expires at the end of next season and he has been pushing for talks aimed at securing his Anfield future.

Carragher has seen Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Daniel Agger all agree long-term deals of late, while the Merseysiders are also looking to finalise agreements with Pepe Reina and Javier Mascherano.

But Liverpool will not open talks until the end of the season – when the most he can expect to be offered is a one-year extension.

That will be a major blow to the 31-year-old, who has served Liverpool all his career and is guaranteed his status as a club legend.

A Liverpool insider said: “When a player gets to that age you have to be more careful with new contracts.

“You take other things into account like form, fitness and injuries. We’ll look at it at the end of the season.”

He'll not want to leave, I can see a two year extension being agreed in the summer.

Player/coach role?

[Exiled_red]

He's only 31 I'd have thought we could do better than a one year extension. Also I wouldn't see him being offered a player/coach contract just yet

I dont think so. He will be 33 by the time his current deal expires, so why would the club offer him a 2 year extension taking him to 35?

A 1 year extension is fair im afraid, there is no room for sentiment. You should only be rewarded on merit regardless of weather you are a Scouser or not.

He'll get one no problem. He's spilt blood for this club all his career. Rafa will give him a 3 year one IMO, with an option to become a coach. Carra is a legend.

Buy another top class CB to play with Agger and give him the Hyypia role

Give him whatever he wants and deliver it on a ****ing silver tray
