I have a soft spot for HK, not in that way
I really wish him well & he has a great run out this season without injury. If he were to get 10 goals this season & force his way back into the team...I will have a wry smile on my face at the end of the season!
RAFA: HARRY CAN WIN NEW CONTRACTJimmy Rice 02 November 2007
http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N157545071102-0956.htmRafa Benitez has challenged Harry Kewell to force his hand over a new contract at Liverpool.
The Aussie winger - who returned from his latest injury setback with an impressive cameo against Cardiff in midweek - is coming to the end of his current deal.
Injury has meant he's played just a handful of games since the 2006 World Cup - but Benitez insists he could still have a long-term future at the club.
"This is a crucial stage of Harry's career," said the Liverpool boss.
"Because of his age and because he is finishing his contract he knows exactly how important this time is.
"But there is a way he can get a new contract - by working hard and playing well, playing games in a row and playing at his level. Nobody has any doubt about the quality of Harry. He's a fantastic player. It is his fitness.
"He has been working on things to try and stay fit. He is working with the physios and doing the right things.
"Today I am not thinking about the kind of contract. I am thinking about seeing him fit, seeing him playing well.
"It is always good to see him on the pitch, playing well and scoring goals, then we will decide."
