Riise till 2009
-
John Arne Riise has today put pen to paper on a new contract with the Reds that ties him to the club until 2009.
Riise joined Liverpool from Monaco during the summer of 2001 and has been a key member of the first team squad ever since.
The left-sided Norway international can operate in midfield or defence and has so far scored 23 goals in 235 appearances during his time at Anfield.
Manager Rafael Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv today: "I'm delighted that John has signed a new deal with us.
"He is a dedicated player, very professional and he has a great mentality. His attitude is first class. He trains well and works hard every day.
"He has always done a good job for Liverpool, whether at left back or in left midfield, and it's great news that we can include him in our plans for the coming years." -
Another player in the Roberto Carlos mould.

long time no see he thunder bolt goals

Its a logical move to sign Risse for another 3 years. He is reaching his peak and get only get better.
One thing I don't like about Risse is his over reliance on his left foot. It'll be great if he could work on improving his right. Nevertheless, I won't be the one complaining when he drives those thunder bolts into the back of the opposition nets.
