Pepe Reina

[Vermilion]

maybe if he hadn't been talking about playing for barca while still playing for us he wouldn't be in this situation,he might even have still been liverpool number 1.

It's not like any of our players haven't ever done that before! yet still remained wanted and loved by fans.

I just don't get all the negativity towards Pepe is all, so he's not good enough for us anymore, and wants the best deal he can get, but people are acting like he's trying to join Utd!

[Vermilion]

True though.

Fickle fans!

Good enough to sit on Bayern's bench but nor good enough to sit on ours

Absolutely. Loyalty is fully dependent on quality

Absolutely. Loyalty is fully dependent on quality

Which is fine.

So long as people don't get all bitter when the time comes for a player to move on, and with the best deal possible for himself.

This is what TB said on the matter on the Rattle.

There are no big reasons. People looking for smoking guns and citing letters that were written after he was told he could leave. It's dead simple - he isn't fancied sufficiently to be retained on the contract that he's on.
When that happens it's all over and like I've said on here many times the manager has to be able to make those kind of decisions no matter what a player may or may not have achieved in the past.

[Bloodraven]

This is a fantastic deal for everyone.

Oh yes, and the all the best to him too, he was great for us for a good long time.

[Beary]

There is a God after all..

Hmm I'll only get excited when it's confirmed that there's a (reasonable) fee.

[Cormack74]

Seems it's €5m (allegedly) - I wonder how much of that we'll lose paying him off?

Pepe Reina's next club will be Bayern Munich and it is expected that a deal with Liverpool for a fee of around €5 million is close and should be announced in the next few hours.

For Reina it will be the chance to experience a new league after his spells in La Liga with Barcelona and Villarreal, the Premier League with Liverpool and last season in Italy with Napoli.

At Bayern he will report to Pep Guardiola and will have three new Spanish teammates in the form of Juan Bernat, Javi Martínez and Thiago Alcántara. His chances of making the number one shirt his own will be cut out by the competition he will face from Bayern's current international keeper Manuel Neuer

Good luck to him, still love the guy. I'll always remember that mad run to celebrate with Ngog against the Mancs!

[Slinky Skills]

Good to luck to him, has been brilliant for us but times move on.

At least it's some more money for us that's the main thing.
