FANS EXCITED BY CARRA AND STEVIE DEALS

Liverpool supporters have reacted with delight to news that local heroes Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher have become the club's first signings of the summer after agreeing deals that will keep them at Anfield until at least 2011.

"This is a great time for Liverpool Football Club. This is fantastic news for us and these two great leaders on the pitch will lead our team to glory over the next few years."

"Liverpool have just made the two biggest signings of the summer. To secure the long-term futures of Gerrard and Carragher has to be seen as a significant move towards taking the club forward. I personally don't think we are as far away from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea as some people think. Now with Gerrard's and Carragher's future secured, it is surely time for this team to become Premiership Champions at last."

"This is a positive step for LFC to secure, certainly over the next four years, the talents of arguably two of our best players. It clearly demonstrates and highlights to us all that LFC are going places!"

"Stevie and Jamie signing new contracts is great news for the club. Both players are icons for the fans and to have them signed up for the next four years - the peak of their careers - was only ever going to be fantastic news for the club. Jamie as the rock in our defence is always going to go that bit further to keep Liverpool on top and Stevie is our iconic midfield maestro, capable of unravelling any defence before him. Both players are full of passion for this great club and it's fantastic that they'll be here for years to come. Onwards and upwards."

"Even though we knew they were always going to sign the new deals, it's a huge relief to keep that Scouse spine in the team with two players we never want to lose. They sum up what Liverpool FC is all about."

"Stevie G and Carra are class and consistently show the passion and determination to make things happen for the team. The future is Red."

"We have completed the signings of two of the best players in the world today. Gerrard is up there with the very best of them in the world including the likes of Kaka and Vieira. He would make the starting 11 in any team in the world. As for Carragher, he's up there with Maldini - two Champions League finals in three years is enough proof for anyone. I believe that Carra will go on to become one of the greatest defenders around, if he isn't already. The pair haven't cost us a penny as they are the product of the Academy. Well done to our board for securing two of the greatest signings you will see all summer."

"For them to show their commitment to Liverpool Football Club for the next four years tells me and every fan that they believe in what is happening at the club and the vision for the future that Rafa Benitez and the new owners have. I am delighted by these signings. I happen to believe that they represent the most important signings we will make this summer. Anyone else is a bonus."

"It's a cracking move by the club and it sends the right message to prospective signings - that we are serious about winning things, we are in it for the long haul and we will look after the players who help us achieve great things."

"Quite simply the best signings we could have made in the transfer market. Jamie and Stevie are the heart of our team and to have them dedicate the next four years of their football career to LFC is a massive bonus. By signing the new deals the boys are determined to bounce back after the heartbreak in Athens and win more trophies."
