Premier League - Still no Reds deal for Agger

Eurosport - Wed, 11 Feb 11:22:00 2009

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has admitted he is no closer to signing a new deal at Anfield.

FOOTBALL Liverpool Agger - 0

Reports last weekend claimed Agger had agreed terms over a new long-term contract only for his agent to quickly rebuff the suggestion.

Agger, who has less than 18 months to run on his current contract, has confirmed he has not agreed a new deal and that he is ready to wait until the summer to sort out his future.

"There is no dialogue on a new contract with the club. It seemed like Liverpool were eager to close this deal and sign a new contract, but that proved to be wrong," Agger told Ekstra Bladet.

"For me it's okay to wait and see how things evolve in the summer. I believe that I am in a good position for negotiations and I wish for more time in the red jersey."

Agger is maintaining his focus on staying fit and playing regularly after seeing last season ravaged by injury because of a serious foot problem.

"I have more games in my body, and wish to fall into the rhythm.

"At this level you can't afford to make mistakes. I will only be judged when I am playing, regardless of how long you have been sidelined.

"I want to play every game but unfortunately that's not possible.

"But I am happy now that myself, (Jamie) Carragher and (Martin) Skrtel all are fit. So now it's up to Rafa Benitez."

  4. To, Joy s. What do you mean about Raffas international­ record? He's never been the manager of a national­ team! If you look at his euro record he is in the top 2­ or 3. I don't worship the man,but is record is up­ there with the best.

  8. rhysbuddy, You are perfectly correct having Parry sign­ Keane was wrong. BUT. Not nearly as wrong as the­ childish way Benitez treated Keane, even a couple of­ days before his return to Spurs Rafa was claiming Keane­ will stay. I HAD the greatest respect for Benitez­ before the Keane fiasco but ALL of the respect has­ wilted. Robbie Keane always wanted to play for­ Liverpool but Im sure he did not twist Parry's arm­ to get signed, so why the insulting and demeaning­ actions of rafa towards Robbie?

  9. Please don't sell Agger!!!
    Sell Leiva instead...he­ doesn't fit in...he does more damage than good for­ Liverpool

  10. RAFA WANTS AGGER OUT COZ HE WANTS TO FOCUS ON DOSSENA­ NO NEW DEAL RIGHT, AGGER OUT THIS SUMMER.RAFA WANTS TO­ SELL LIVERPOOL TOP PLAYER FIRST KEANE WHO NEXT AGGER,NO­ TITTLE CONTENTION

    From vampire_screamo_21, on Fri 13 Feb 12:44PM

  11. I wouldn't want to see Agger go, but Carra &­ Skrtel have proved to be a better partnership in­ defence. It'll be hard for him to break that­ now.
    And it seems that Agger's people are asking­ for a massive contract, sell at the end of the season­ and put the funds towards securing a world class goal­ scorer... David Villa!!

  12. dont sell agger. by by lucas and dossena

  13. It will be stupid of Liverpool to get rid of Agger. He­ is one of the rising centre backs in England. He and­ Skrtel will make a good partnership at defence in the­ future and be as good as the Ferdinand-Vidic­ partnership.

  14. what's with the rafa hating??????? He doesn't­ draw up the contracts, Rick Parry does! This is 100%­ identical to what happened to Gerrard after the­ Champions League Final win a few years ago. Parry is­ @#$% and slack in his job and clearly has no idea about­ personal relations or football. I think goping behind­ rafa and signing Keano for the sake of providing a­ 'big named' player for the fans is just stupid!­ Parry out!!!!!

  18. tom.ward18, wrote you a long comment before this one,­ but didn't get though. Been and LFC fan since­ '88. I'm older than you. Couple of names for­ you, Torres, Reina, Arbeola, Benayoun, Alonso, so on­ and so forth. Don't let the current moment frustate­ you. I'm sure you were singing Rafa's name with­ the FA cup and the CL. We now have the best team we­ have had for your entire life, and it's all thanks­ to Rafa. Don't forget, we don't have half the­ money available to other teams thanks to Gillet and­ Hicks. Otherwise I wish you all the best, you've­ chosen the right team.

  19. By the way, he received private backing from other EPL­­ managers for the Fergie wrant, and he was right

    Where­ is the prove of this. Plus Rafa made himself look a­ prat just like keegan did the year when united overtook­ them at the end of the season! I AM AFRAID RAFA HAS­ BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK
