Pepe Reina

[Leyton388]

He will not be sold. He seems to be getting back to form. More ****e from no nothing Journo's

[Mostar]

**** off. If we want to get rid of him because of his performances - fine, I accept that - but he has been a top keeper for us and he has earned whatever salary he is on.

His performance earned him his current contract but it is also true that he has been on decline for quite sometime now.

On that basis it's understandable that the club could be looking for other options and most goalkeepers, with the exception of few world class ones, would dictate lower wages than Pepe.

I agree on Pepe. But people (me) are saying this on Gerrard and Carra too, and got pelters for it.

Only difference he is or should be approaching his prime and those 2 already passed their peak.

[BootRoom]

Who said he's so poor? He has had a long term dip in form though. He will still command a good fee IMO

I only had to look back to the previous page to find examples. Plus he has been getting stick regularly in the match threads.

[Leyton388]

With regards to gerrard and Carra as far as i am concerned they have both earned their current contracts and wages they currently picked up. Its true that Jamie isn't playing much but after his years at the club this last big contract is deserved and if he wants to stay beyond his current deal then he will have to take a pay cut. The same with gerrard. Their current contracts and wages are deserved.

So why do you want him sold?

I don't want him sold

[Neil Young]

Truth or not, IMO Pepe will not be sold in this window. It just wouldn't make any sense. Having said that, not signing another striker in the last window didn't make any sense

Hmm, so you're saying he's off then. Aaaaaaarghhhh!

I don't want him sold

Ah, changed your mind, eh. Very wise.

[Assassin]

Hmm, so you're saying he's off then. Aaaaaaarghhhh!

No, and I don't want home to go. I am just saying it wouldn't make sense to sell him in this window. Or IMO to sell him at all

[Neil Young]

First Casemore, now Assassin. The doubters are being won over, one by one.

He's been getting stick as you put it probably due to the drop in form from the level he'd been playing at previously.

I said I could understand why he might be sold

[BootRoom]

I get the impression that his detractors are of the opinion that his 'decline' is more permanent than a drop in form.

[RichC]

well unless he turns it around it will be a permanent decline, up to him to change that around, I think he can do it but he needs to start doing so

[Neil Young]

He did yesterday. Now he needs to continue it.

It's about consistency. Consistent consistency even. And so on...

he did indeed. Maybe the change in tempo helped

[Neil Young]

Was the weather all that different?
