"To play for Liverpool is very special. I've been here for five years and now I will be here for six more and it's very exciting," Reina told the club's website (www.liverpoolfc.tv) on Friday.

"I'm delighted to sign a new contract. It's probably the best news of my life that I'll be here for the next six years."

The 27-year-old Spaniard, who joined the Merseyside club in July 2005 from Villarreal, has been one of manager Rafa Benitez's best signings, notching up 177 league appearances.

Reina, who won the Super Cup in 2005 with Liverpool and the FA Cup a year later, said his family were big fans of the area and the native Scouse accent as well.

"My wife told me from the beginning she was more than happy here. My kids enjoy it and they have picked up the Scouse accent already. I am really proud of that," said Reina, whose side are sixth in the league.

"In the years ahead they will speak much more Scouse too."
 
I'm happy he's signed an extension, but I'm still curious about what we're paying our players.

Don't worry so am i. Learnt my lesson after Houllier signing a bunch of bums on long contracts at stupid wages. Not fussed about Pepe though cos he is IMO the best in the world, if not hes very very close to it. Young and loves us as much as we love him.

I'd give him the armband next season myself.

Quite the appropriate name as well.

To be fair Nessie he doesnt have hair to sniff.
 
The legend grows....

Blood Red: Pepe Reina proving Liverpool FC captaincy could be in the right hands in future
Apr 24 2010 by Dominic King, Liverpool Echo

MANY players leave Anfield in the blink of an eye after games but, on Monday evening, Pepe Reina proved again why he is a one-off.

With the clock ticking to 11pm, temperatures dropping and a two-day trek looming, Reina could have been excused had he wanted to head straight for his car but instead a game of five-a-side between the substitutes caught his eye.

So, getting out a can of Red Bull and finding himself a seat on the touchline, he spent 10 minutes watching the game and encouraging his team-mates. No wonder, then, Steven Gerrard has tipped him to be a future captain. He is, without doubt, a class act.
 
What a man. There's a good argument to say that, all things considered, he's the best signing of the Rafa era.
 
I'd have him captain now. Especially this season, Gerrard isnt having the 'inspirational' effect of old, and he doesnt have the natural personality to get the best out of others that Pepe does.
 
He spent 10 minutes watching football?

I know he's great and all, but I'm not going to start kissing his feet for that.

And drinking red bull at 11 at night is a mugs game.

I'm a bit hooked on energy drinks.

Even are learning they contain horse bones or something equally vile.
