How much would Reina be worth in todays transfer market. I reckon he's still got about 7 good years left in him at least. This might sound absurd but £45 million?

[Craig_H]

The going rate for the best keeper in the business should be about that, but the media dont laud him as a 'glamour' player, so it'd probably be a third of that.

The simple solution is never sell him. Ever.

[RedReet]

£20m if you believe today's reports.

There's a difference between what a player is 'worth' though, and what it'd take for his club to sell.

Just love the guy


Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina believes his team-mates can challenge for the Premier League title as soon as next season.

The illustrious Merseysiders finished seventh in the standings last term, a position that played its part in Rafa Benitez's exit.

The Reds have made a slow start to life under new man Roy Hodgson while the club's new owners New England Sports Ventures have not had a chance to flex their muscles in the transfer market.

Reina insists he is fully committed to seeing out his long-term contract at Anfield and he is desperate to help the club start challenging for silverware again.

Committed

"I have a contract for another five-and-a-half years," he told the Daily Mail. "I am committed here and I want us to win titles.

"What else can I say or do? It is something the press talks about. All I want to talk about is Liverpool and hopefully finishing as high as we can.

"That is where Liverpool should be year in, year out. That is what we want and that is what we are all looking for. We will hope it can be that way again but, at the moment, it is not like that. We have to be realistic and at the minute we are fighting for different targets.

"I hope within a year, or a couple of years, we can be up there again. We want to be back competing with the top clubs again. That is how it should be. This is my sixth season here and I think I know something about the club now and how the supporters think."

Cup clash
Liverpool tackle Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup next month and Reina believes success at Old Trafford could galvanise their campaign.

"If we pick up and get some good results over the next 10 or 12 days, everyone will be that bit more excited and we will be back on track," he continued.

"But Manchester United in the FA Cup? Yeah, yeah. That is the big one.

"It could transform things if we win there. Our aim is to win every title we are involved in but we have to recognise it is not the best draw. But it is not the best draw for them.

"It is going to be a tough game. All we can do is aim to finish as high as we can. Maybe 2011 will be like a fresh start."

Compare that to Roy's we might not get in to the Champions league for a few years comment.

Roy Hodgson = Loser

Pepe Reina = Winner
