STEVE FINNAN is the latest Liverpool player to be on the verge of an extended Anfield contract.

 

While all the focus remains on Anfield?s four big guns who are deep in negotiations, it?s emerged Finnan has joined the list of those Rafa Benitez wants to keep at the club.

 

It will be a just reward for the Irish international, who recovered from an uneasy start to his Liverpool career to become an unsung hero of the Champions League and FA Cup winning side.

 

The right-back has seen off the challenge of several new right sided defenders since joining from Fulham in 2003, and is now firmly established as the first choice full-back.

 

 

He turns 31 next week, but such has been his level of consistency and invaluable experience, Benitez was in no doubt the defender was worth an extension.

 

 

It?s a move which is sure to delight Finnan, who spoke only last week of his hope to extend his terms which have only a year left to run after this season.

 

 

American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks are also keen to reward at least four of Liverpool?s Academy youngsters with contracts following their success in this year?s FA Youth Cup.

 

 

The teenagers who?ve already made the step up to Melwood are in line for longer deals as Gillett and Hicks look to safeguard both senior stars and developing talent.

[Romario]

Does Gerrard get a new contract every other week?

[KD07]

He's on life, he is Bolo.

[CarraLegend]

Does Gerrard get a new contract every other week?

 

No, he doesnt.

[KD07]

Does Gerrard get a new contract every other week?

 

And who are we to begrudge him? He's in line for Best African Player of the Year or so I hear.

[McBain]

Great news

 

Best Irish right back at the club by far

My guess is the big striker, Putterill (sp) the tricky right footed left winger , the lad who scored the own goal and that little terrier in centre mid.

Hope this helps

Do we really want another Djimi 'Jimmy' Traore? i still have nightmares of his goal line excellence... still shocked how he would even try that so near to our goal

[McBain]

Good news that.

[KopSpice]

Great news that; think Finnan is a quality defender and underrated

[Guest ritchie_50]

If Garcia goes though, it'll mess up two good chants. Including La bamba

[Tetti]

PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE

Steve Finnan must go to the theatre or the pictures a lot. Anyone ever noticed how much time he spends "picking his seat" during matches? What's wrong lad, thong disappearing up yer crack or what?
