Jamie Carragher, who is described on Liverpool FC’s official website as “Mr Liverpool“, has today revealed that if he isn’t offered a new deal at the end of next season when his current contract expires, he won’t be bothered.
“The club will give me a new contract if they want to,” said Carragher. “If not it doesn’t matter, I’ll still play my best and if I have to move then I’ll move, no problem. It wouldn’t bother me. I made the England decision quickly and didn’t dwell on it, and I’m not scared of making big decisions.”
Carragher, who grew up a massive Everton fan and even when playing for Liverpool’s youth team, hoped for a blue win when the two teams met in the league, is often compared to our legends, like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.
On the weekend that Scholesy scores his 100th league goal and puts us top of the league, it’s quite amusing that Liverpool’s so-called equivalent confirms he’s not arsed about staying at Liverpool for his entire career.

Compare also with Gary Neville, who says in today’s Observer that he won’t play for anyone else when he finishes at Old Trafford, as he doesn’t want to ‘dilute’ the memories of his time with United. Gary Nev, he’s a Red.
morale is at an all time high at liverpool i see
Well he can always go and play for his boyhood heroes, I’m sure they’d love him on the other side of Stanley Park.
mr liverpool indeed. pools fans should be proud.
Perhaps he is hoping Citeh are coming in for him ? lol
I can sort of understand him. He can’t retire at 32 can he? He has a family to feed. Gary Neville is 35 and is closer to retirement anyway.

“this is gonna be our season” haha quote of the season
Fergie sign him up…..LOL
Hes just trying to maneuver a new contract
I have never rated Carragher. People rave about him but I just don’t see it. I never have
He wants more money. The dippers have got some big contracts to secure and with City more than willing to throw their cash around you can bet some players will be milking it.
I actually don’t mind Carragher, not as much as the other cunt anyway.
Off topic lads but just watched Sunday Supplement. The cunts on there saying that compared to Arsenal United have been “lucky” this season in terms of not as many injuries and “had the rub of the green”. You could not make it up. Back 5 out all season not to mention Owen, Nani, Fletch for a period etc. They cannot say fuck all now. Top of the league, first trophy in the bag and advantage us in the European tie. Come on United.
As a life long Man Utd fan,i wouldn’t give a damn .but let’s give the boy a break.he’s given Liverpool ten years of service(it was shitty),and they are refusing to give him a new contract.
What would you do,if you are in his place.
Surely,you won’t hang up your boots. will you ????
Scott,
In 2005,Liverpool’s best player Gerrard was also supposedly not arsed about staying at Liverpool by handing a transfer request.
The year is 2010,and he’s still playing for Liverpool.
Carra might be going on a similar track.
@King Eric
Hi mate. Arsenal actually have had more injuries than us since last July. About 24 more. But whereas they have been mostly niggles, our players have had more serious problems that have kept them out longer(Ando, Rio, Vida, Owen, Sheasy). Not to mention that the injuries are hitting us in one area. Last December it was the defence, now it’s the attack.
@costas lol he hasn’t been working in the coal mines the guy has been making stupid money for years if he doesn’t have enough money by now to feed his family he truley is a fucking idiot
@wayne
Lol, yeah that sounded a bit melodramatic.
And footballers usually find something else to do after they hang up their boots. But I still don’t see why he should do it at 32 just because the dippers don’t want him. It does surprise me why they would allow him to leave, but that’s another issue.
@costas i agree if the dippers don’t want him i don’t blame him for leaving.utd have a different approach they reward loyalty and realise players with a true love for the club are important around the dressing room.i guess the dippers don’t give a fuck because what ever you think of carragher he’s give 100% for them
scouse
I would have carra over tiny tears every time.
Gary Neville is a red is a red is a red
Gary Neville is a red he hates scousers
Jamie carrager is a blue is a blue is a blue Jamie carrager is a blue he just doesn’t talk about it
I think carra knows when to quite and all he is saying is he knows he cant play forever and its got to end sometime. Unlike Neville, who is happy to sit on the treatment table picking up mega bucks while the club’s £750 mil in debt, now thats commitment!
I don’t see what’s wrong with his approach, why should he retire if not offered a new contract by liverpool? In any event i’d say that both parties are just testing the water for contract negotiations. Also unclear what is to be admired about neville hanging around and diluting the memory of his man utd career with his humiliatingly abject performances on the rare occasions that he is fit these days.
Champ – so if Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes or Gary Neville they weren’t bothered if United offered them a new contract or not, you would think that was fair enough?
“The club will give me a new contract if they want to. If not it doesn’t matter, I’ll still play my best and if I have to move then I’ll move, no problem. It wouldn’t bother me.”
That’s the comment of a foreigner who has been at a club for two minutes, not someone who is referred to as “Mr *insert clubs name here*”.
I don’t think he means that he wouldn’t be disappointed rather that he would be prepared to make the difficult decision to move on. Given that he has frequently expressed his affinity with the club he probably feels that he has weakened his bargaining power and is simply asserting willingness to carry on playing elsewhere.
@Champ
I think you are harsh on Neville. Looking at his form this calendar year, he came back after 1 month out against Leeds and was pretty bad. But after that, he has grown stronger in every game he has played in. He is obviously not our first choice right back, but that’s only natural. He is a squad player now and a good one at that. Players like him have earned the right to bow out on their terms.
That’s the spirit Carragher, It makes me think, wonder are they his own word’s any time I have heard him talk I’m just left feeling do you have Two brain cell’s that could multiply.
Mr Liverpool ..not so Liverpool after all…! Now, He rather walk alone… I’d say “Good for you!!”
Carragher might be another scouse cunt angling for a ‘FREE’ at OT like Owen…. once a scouse always a scouse….!!
Fuck the wanker
GHTT…. is it a surprise for the little one or does she already know?
Lmao. Are you still staying lil Jamie, cos as sure as fuck with no Champions league Moolah , I suspect not. Fancy a Gillingham?. lol. Arse hole.
Mom of match for me was one very suspect at the Toon,Titus Bramble. Well played you Latic’s made my evening.
