Agger close to new Liverpool deal

Soccer Betting Lines

05/01/2009 - Liverpool, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has confirmed that Denmark international Daniel Agger is close to agreeing to a new contract at Anfield.

The 24-year-old was linked with a move to AC Milan earlier in the season but it now seems certain that he will be staying on Merseyside.

"It is very close," said Benitez. "We are just waiting on the small details but it is nearly done. We have to wait a little bit longer but we are very close.

"He is very happy here and I have always supported him. Hopefully it will be done."

Benitez has also dismissed reports suggesting Javier Mascherano will be leaving the Reds in the summer.

He added: "I was talking with Javier earlier and everything is okay.

"He is really pleased here because he knows the fans love him. He can't avoid big clubs asking about him because he is a top-class player, but he is very happy here."

Meanwhile, captain Steven Gerrard is available to play against Newcastle this weekend after recovering from the groin strain that has sidelined him since last month's Champions League defeat to Chelsea at Anfield.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
