In so many words.

Leaving Anfield would have been a big mistake, admits Daniel Agger
• 'We are building towards something special' says defender
• Liverpool to face Atlético Madrid in pre-season friendly at Anfield

Andy Hunter guardian.co.uk, Thursday 21 May 2009


Daniel Agger has admitted he would have made a serious error had he rejected Liverpool's offer of a new contract and left the club this summer.

The Denmark international ended months of uncertainty over his future recently when he agreed terms on a new five-year contract with Liverpool, one that will replace the final 12 months of his existing deal and keep him at Anfield until 2014 on an improved salary of around £55,000 a week.

Agger had been reluctant to commit his future to Liverpool due in part to a lack of first-team starts under Rafael Benítez since returning from a series of metatarsal fractures, with Jamie Carragher and Martin Skrtel the manager's preferred partnership in central defence this season, and his agent held talks with the likes of Milan over the possibility of a cut-price move under the "Webster ruling" this summer. Now, however, with his deal agreed although unsigned, and Liverpool emerging as genuine rivals to Manchester United in the Premier League, the 24-year-old admits it would have been unwise to leave a club on an upward curve.

"I've agreed a contract, the manager has agreed a new contract, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt and some other players are all agreeing contracts so I think this shows you that within the club there is a real sense that we are building towards something special," said Agger, a £5.8m signing from Brondby in 2006. "Everyone wants to be successful, everyone wants to be part of it. If you don't, then I think you're making a big mistake. There is a lot that we should be proud of this season and we are."

Liverpool, meanwhile, have announced they will host Fernando Torres' former club Atlético Madrid in a pre-season friendly at Anfield on Saturday 8 August. Torres missed both Champions League group games against his boyhood club this season through injury but will now have a chance to face Atlético for the first time since his departure in a fixture that will complete Liverpool's pre-season preparations. Benítez's team are also scheduled to play Thailand and Singapore in a brief tour of the Far East in July
 
Haha.

He didnt say anything like that Ryan. ;)

And also, 'agreed although unsigned'?

Like what I have been saying along, just sign the damn contract Danny.
 
Don't forget that Rafa told him not to sign a contract until Rafa got his own sorted out.

I didn't remember that. Did he? I don't think so. Why would he say that? Tripe.

Agger is a top class defender and he has made a top class decision in signing the contract extension. He and Skrtel will be our future centre backs.

He said that to Kuyt and it was in the sense of I don't know what direction the club is going to go in until mine's sorted so wait until then.

Look son, whatever he said to Kuyt (a good friend of mine) i will know. Rafael (whom i had dinner with him and his family once a month) did not mention anything about that. He once said he just want to get his contract sorted and all the contract for Kuyt, Gerrard and Agger are all ready and just wait for the player to sign. Nothing of the sort about waiting for his to sign and then followed by others. Do not argue. I know.

Barking. Completely and utterly barking. But he's ours.
 
I fear for Agger now that he's got the Spider-Neil 'stamp of approval'.

Hardly panned out well for Ryan Babel did it?

Couldn't you give him your 'stamp of disapproval' that you bestowed upon that fucking useless cunt Dietmar Hamman?

yeah a lot of my fav's haven't panned out but there you go mostly my attacking favs let me down, my defensive faves usually are brilliant sami, agger, babbel, pepe, alonso so my hex isn't 100% (although babbel will probably disagree). I've explained my opinion of didi about a million times so let's not go there again, eh?
 
Have to feel fo Ryan.

The nocturnal ratio of 'clueless mental bellends' to 'normal rational people' goes from a daytime estimate of about 1:50 to a quite startling 1:1

On the official it says he signed it earlier this month
[/quote]

no, the official said he had 'agreed' the contract. i.e. he has no problem with what's in the contract he just hasn't put pen to paper, although it has to be said if he backed out now that would make even owen's procrastination look honest.

It was a reference to this, although I don't know why I'm bothering as I'm not convinced either of you will get the joke.

"I've agreed a contract, the manager has agreed a new contract, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt and some other players are all agreeing contracts," the 24-year-old told LFC Magazine.

again, he says he's agreed not that he has signed but you'd think that's a formality.
