Thumbs up Saha signs new deal

http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=388539

Reds striker Louis Saha says he plans to repay the faith shown in him by Sir Alex Ferguson after agreeing an extension to his contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2010.

The start to the Frenchman's United career was besieged by injury, but he has been integral part of the side since returning to the team last November.

"It’s great news," he told ManUtd.com. "I'm really enjoying my time here and I wanted to show my commitment to Manchester United, but also repay the faith that Sir Alex has shown in me.

"Hopefully we will have an exciting end to the season and add some silverware to the trophy room."

United boss Sir Alex believes the deal is a worthy reward for the 28-year-old's recent performances, and says it safeguards the future of an emerging team.

"I'm delighted that we have extended Louis’s contract," he told us. "We are happy to see Louis here until at least 2010 and to add him to the other players who have recently signed new contracts like Cristiano and Wayne but also to the new additions such as Patrice and Nemanja. It bodes well for the future.

"We address the situation of players' contracts now and then in order to strengthen the club and it’s great to add Louis to the list. Louis’ form has been fantastic since he has come back from injury and he has scored 26 goals in that time."

Thumbs up

great news!!

he has made our team so much more dynamic, and he's proved so far this season that if our creative players create, he will put the chances away!!

and as he did against benfica away, he's also able to make his own chances and get us important goals!!

He's one of the main reasons why we are playing something approaching attractive football at the moment.

Cole was much more clinical than Saha imo. But maybe my opinion is just tinged with a bit of nostalgia.

He's scored plenty of goals this season, we're top of the league, top scorers and in the next phase of the CL. Why the whinge?
