Kewell Shows Signs of Wanting to Stay

Is time running out?

With a number of players coming and going at LFC, Harry Kewell has been an interesting one. He being allowed to stay on in his final year, there is no desire to sell and there is no contract extension being discussed. At 28 he's should be at about the peak of his game. A series of long-term injuries, however, have make it difficult to assess if this is in fact true as regards the Aussie.

An encouraging development from an LFC point of view is that this year , the left winger has decided to for go a family holiday/vacation to join up with his LFC teammates as they continue to tour the Far East. Admittedly he's pretty much just around the corner, having just competed in the Asian Cup with Australia.

He's claimed that because of all of the extra competition for places on the starting 11, he wants to get in there and show he can be part of Rafa's plans, but I've got to wonder if he's hoping that he can convince the Benitez to extend his deal. I get the impression that LFC want to see him do the same and see if he can stay injury free. If he can show that he's still the same player that impressed at Leeds, it can only help LFC's push for the Premiership this year.

Here's hoping that if he stay fit and that LFC see something of what we expect someone who wears the #7 shirt to produce.
