Highly rated Liverpool duo Jay Spearing and Stephen Darby have agreed new deals reports Sky Sports."The Reds have been in talks with the home-grown pair for the last few months as they look to secure the duo on long-term deals."

Midfielder Spearing, captained the FA Youth Cup-winning side in 2007, was an impressive substitute in the UEFA Champions League mauling over Real Madrid last season.

Good news, but only if they're now given the chance in the first team. When we're 3-0 up at Anfield against Crap F.C. with half an hour to go, don't bring Lucas on, get Spearing in there and see what happens.Different with Darby , particularly if Arbeloa goes (which I still hope he doesn't) as Johnson will obviously start as Benitez' first choice. Knock on effect would be to encourage the other youngsters in the academy that there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel if they work hard and develop. Add Dalglish into that equation and there should be some good stuff to come.....
