Laursen Wants To Stay A Villan

Aston Villa defender Martin Laursen is eying an extended stay at Villa Park after manger Martin O’Neill hinted at a new contract.



zoom - galleria Laursen has endured a tumultuous time since joining Villa in 2004, mostly due to a recurrent knee injury that saw the Dane unable to sustain a run in the first team.

But after a good start to the 2007-08 season the former Milan man is likely to be offered a new contract at the club.

An astonishing statistic is that, up until the opening game of the season, Villa had not lost a game when Laursen had been involved, a run that stretched 27 games.

The 30-year-old has said that he would gladly welcome a new contract, although he did admit that, as yet, negotiations have yet to take place.


"I have been happy to read the manager's comments, and I would like to stay here," the 30-year-old told the Birmingham Mail.
"I don't think I will make a four-year contract. But I hope to make a two or a three-year deal if they want me here.


"We had a quick chat just before the season ended. He said he was happy with me and I told him I am happy here as well.


"I like to play here. I like to play in England. It suits my game very much, so yes, we can talk about that.


"I don't have a perfect knee but I am playing now, so I don't think it will have to be written into a contract," he added.


"I ended last season playing, sometimes, two games a week and I ended up playing 90 minutes for Denmark during the international break on the Saturday and Wednesday and then played for Villa on Sunday.


"I feel good physically now, the knee feels good. Personally that is what I had hoped for this season, that I could be physically fit so I could be available for every game.


"I don't think we have to worry that much about the injury coming up again.


"It was a bad injury, the knee is

Most i've paid is £40 for an England ticket.

Think only time i'd pay that is for Rotherham at Wembley for Play Off final or something. Maybe for tickets at the Euro or World Cup finals too.

I pay £70 every time I go to Old Trafford but that's supporters coach as well so if it came to it and all I had to pay was £55 i'd bite your hands off

Tickets were going for $1500 for the Penn State - Notre Dame game a couple weeks ago (college American football), and $3000 the days before the game. So don't complain!
