LONDON -- Only four months after publicly pleading to leave the club in the hope of joining Premier League rivals Arsenal, Luis Suarez has completed a remarkable
U-turn and signed a new long-term contract at Liverpool.
Brad
Marchand Bruins Jersey . The 26-year-old complained in August that
Liverpool had broken an agreement allowing him to leave after the club failed to
qualify for the Champions League. His complaint came shortly after Liverpool had
rejected a transfer bid from Arsenal for the striker. Liverpool stood firm
however and Suarez began a dramatic period of rehabilitation. The Uruguay
forward is the top scorer in the Premier League this season with 17 league goals
in 11 starts, including a quadruple against Norwich and a hat trick against West
Brom. Tipped to shine at the World Cup next year, his form has helped Liverpool
climb to second in the division, two points behind Arsenal. "We have some great
players and the team is growing and improving all the time," Suarez said. "I
believe I can achieve the ambitions of winning trophies and playing at the very
highest level with Liverpool. My aim is to help get us there as quickly as
possible." Suarez missed Liverpools first six league games this season as he
completed a 10-match suspension for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
It was the latest in a long line of ugly incidents involving Suarez, who was
banned for eight matches for racially abusing Manchester Uniteds Patrice Evra in
October 2011. Despite his habit for creating controversy, Liverpool supporters
have remained loyal to their talisman. "Without doubt the backing I have
received from the Liverpool fans has influenced my decision," he said. "I am so
proud to represent them and go out to do my best for them every time I pull on
the shirt. "We have a special relationship. They have love for me and in return
I love them back. I will always do my best for them and hopefully we can achieve
success together." Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers made Suarez train alone
after his outburst in August but the striker returned to the first-team squad
before the start of the season. The Reds are aiming to finish in the Premier
Leagues top four to qualify for the Champions League and could mount a challenge
for the title if the team maintains its current form. "This is fantastic news
for everyone associated with the club; the team, the owners and most importantly
the supporters," Rodgers said. "Luis is a world-class talent and securing his
services is crucial for what we are trying to achieve here. "Whats most
important and most exciting is that, at just 26 years old, his best years are
still ahead of him and we now know well be seeing him reach that potential in a
Liverpool shirt." Suarezs contract was due to expire in 2016. Liverpool owner
John W. Henry added: "We are committed to working hard to keep our best players
and this is an indication that we are moving in the right direction and moving
at a pace that impresses one of the best players in world football."

before Edmontons 4-3 victory over Montreal on Tuesday night, Oilers head coach
Dallas Eakins took offence to Ellers comments and used it to motivate his
youthful team.Justin Schultz isnt a fully-formed No. 1 NHL defenceman just yet,
so the Edmonton Oilers are giving him a chance to grow into one. The Oilers
agreed to terms with the 24-year-old on a US$3.675-million, one-year contract
Friday that puts him in line to make him a restricted free agent again next
off-season. Schultz said the one-year deal means he has to perform. "I just got
to prove that Im worth that longer-term money and they want me here for a longer
term," Schultz said in a phone interview. "I want to be here and Ive got to make
sure I improve my defensive game and know I can play against other teams top
lines without them worrying about me out there and being able to put me out in
all situations." General manager Craig MacTavish said signing Schultz to a
one-year deal was a chance to buy the organization more time to evaluate him.
MacTavish added it was difficult to agree on a longer-term value given the small
sample size of the defencemans career. "We as an organization wanted a little
bit more information, fully aware that information can be expensive," MacTavish
said at a news conference in Edmonton. Schultz led Oilers defencemen in ice time
in 2013-14 at over 23 minutes a game. His offensive numbers are no problem, as
he put up 11 goals and 22 assists in 74 games. The Kelowna, B.C., native,
enjoyed the bigger role rookie coach Dallas Eakins gave him last season. "Im
more comfortable," Schultz said. "I felt as the year went on last year, I got
better in my own end and on the penalty kill and all that. Its always something
Ive got to work on. I think Im improving and hopefully start this year off solid
and keep er going." MacTavish took issue with the notion that Schultz was weak
in the defensive end. "Ive always believed that hes very good defensively,"
MacTavish said. "He showed me at the end of last year that he really was
managing the decisions that you need the experience to manage the decisions on
when to go, when to stay backk, when to probe offensively, when to get back.
Johnny
Bucyk Jersey. quot; The Oilers won the Schultz sweepstakes in the summer
of 2012 after the Ducks 2008 draft pick didnt sign with Anaheim when he was done
playing at the University of Wisconsin. During the 2012-13 lockout, Schultz was
the AHLs leading scorer with 18 goals and 30 assists in 34 games for the
Oklahoma City Barons. MacTavish said a rookie defenceman leading the AHL in
points is something that only happens to great players and believes his ceiling
is beyond great. "I think that Justin has Norris Trophy potential, and I dont
think there are too many people that would disagree with me in that regard,"
MacTavish said. In 122 career NHL games, Schultz has 19 goals and 41 assists for
60 points. During that time, the Oilers have continued their playoff drought,
which dates to 2007, the year after Edmonton lost to the Carolina Hurricanes in
the Stanley Cup final. "Its obviously a work in progress," Schultz said. "I knew
we werent going to win right away. But weve got all the talent in the world and
its just a matter of time before we start turning things around." Beyond
Schultz, the Oilers have been building around first-round picks
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. Schultz could soon be joined
on the blue-line by 2013 first-rounder Darnell Nurse. For now, the Oilers
defence is made up of Schultz, captain Andrew Ference, Martin Marincin,
Jeff Petry, free-agent additions Mark Fayne and Keith Aulie and trade
acquisition Nikita Nikitin. Nikitin is the highest-paid of that group going into
the first season of a $9-million, two-year deal that counts $4.5 million against
the salary cap. If Schultz can continue his career progression, hes likely
headed toward a much richer pay day. In the process, he hopes to help the Oilers
make the playoffs. "Ive only had two years in the NHL," he said. "Its a big year
for me next year, for our team."
