Hooray! i had a feeling real or juventus would snap him up, but he finally signed a new contract! Anyway why would he want to quit?? Top of the league and winners of group D.
December 10th, 2008 @ 16:47Liverpool have alot of poetential and could win the league and after last nights peformance, could really go far.
At least us liverpool fans can be at ease now this contract negotiation has finally ended with a good result.
But last night when he was being interviewed, they said something about the premier league and Rafa said, and i qoute ‘the champions league is more important’I wish he’d just get that out of his mind!! ye it would be nice to win the champions league, but can’t he see that reds fans would rather win the league than the champions league?? It’s been 18 years since we last won the league and all liverpool fans want is for LFC to win the league. We won the champions league 3 years ago. I think we should only concentrate on that if we have won the league. If Rafa has too much determination on europe, it could easily jepordise our chance of winning the league.
