Pepe Reina

[Hustler]

Loaning out Andy Carroll was an excellent move and one that paid dividends.

We have spent 9 million on a keeper we did not need this season... In return we are sending a world class keeper on loan for a year before Barcelona take him for cheaper? Is this the new LFC?

We have bought a fantastic keeper with great potential to replace a keeper whose move to Barcelona has been deferred until next summer. Makes sense that we loan him out so we don't have to pay him and most likely get a loan fee. We'll get more in return this way.

Well said bud make's a lot of sense really when you think about it mate

[-V-]

Loan!! WTF!!

They have £120m to spend and we are letting them loan him, unreal. One year less on his contract means we will get less for him next summer not more

[Fosterbloke]

Reina is going stale at Liverpool. I see another season of on-off performances and coupled with missing out on a new generation of excellent keepers to buy would be far worse.

Plus if it all goes badly then we can recall Pepe.

We have to replace him eventually after all.

Think that's the key. We get to test the new keeper for a season and let Reina go off to see if he can find his form, whilst he's still our player.

It's a win win for us really.

Next summer we'll either have a great new keeper nicely settled in or Reina back.

Anyways, whatever happens, good luck Reina

[SB]

So if he goes out on loan, can we recall him at any time for any reason?

[EwarWoo]

Depends on the terms. But even if not, well, if we sold him we can't get him back in next summer.

With how hard it is to get a keeper to mesh with a team I think this is the safest way of conducting the business.

[Assassin]

So we have loaned him out when we could have sold him for about £8 to £10 million. 12 months down the line his contract will be run down more as will his value.

Without knowing the details many people are guessing. The club knows what it is doing with finances. they have far more competen e than we do.

from a footballing perspective. reina really hasnt delivered in the last few seasons.....

Like they are the same age..

[Vermilion]

Doubt he'll play in a Liverpool shirt again ever, regardless of how Mingolet does.

Anyway, Good luck Pepe, another that's decided it's time to get out, although i think he decided he wanted to go as while back tbh.

Actually it's Brendan Rodgers who has decided it for him

[Neil Young]

We might not be able to sell him for that or he might not want to sign for someone else. We just don't know. He gets paid £4m a quid a year so it's not an insignificant sum, it could be enough to pay the wages of a top class player. And we might be getting some money in terms of a loan fee. Again, we don't know. It might be a cost neutral way of deferring a move to Barca for a year due to valdes staying for another season. We don't know. But don't let not knowing stop you from foaming at the mouth and shouting incompetence.

It seems to me the most likely explanation. A lot more likely than incompetence in the club's handling of transfers given all the evidence to the contrary in the last year or so.

Sorry but sadly Reina hasn't been World Class for a couple of seasons.

I love Pepe and it is easy to be a bit blind towards his form, but he hasn't been as good as he once was for us.

Loan deal will get the wages of the books and then Barca will take him next year. Rather that than having a 110k a week goalkeeper sat on the bench when we could invest that elsewhere personally.

Mostly agree, but I'd rather sell now.
