      Stat man, I don't care. I know when I watch he hardly stops anything. Jones made more saves and he's rubbish. He's off. Nice bloke, just shame about his shot stopping, you know the bit he's paid to do.

        If he had the second most clean sheets does that not tell you he does save things though? He had a rough patch until Jan. but since then he has been excellent. Nearly back to the PEPE of a couple of years ago.

        Still one of the best keepers in the league too, even at half speed.

          Pepe had a loss of form last season, but that was only noticed due to his usual high standards. He is a quality keeper, and an important commanding presence for the team. He will be a hard act to follow whatever happens.

            Good defence in front of him? All the shots he faced were ****? Or he was awesome. Stats rarely tell all the story. He did shows glimpses of the old reina I agree, just far too many times the opponents have a shot at goal and score from it. He isn't imposing in goal, he goes down with this one glove on the floor routine and strikers tend to score easily in one on ones. There are many many better instinstive shot stoppers out there. There are even keepers that save pens. He is good overall but he's become stale. IMO.

              I get what you mean about Stats not telling the whole story. But I genuinely think he has improved for us second half of the season. Stale is a good way of putting it I guess. He was in a funk, but hopefully now it's been broken.

              Someone said here the other week, he gets better the better the defenders in front of him. Which sounds like doing him down. But I think he thrives on a solid back line. Which I think is what we saw more of when Carra came back into the side.

                Pepe put in some great shifts at the end of the season and some very sharp saves.

                I wouldn't say he was at his best but still one the top 3 keeper in the PL.

                I think buying Mignolet means there will be genuine competition for a starting place which can only be good for us.

                  Mignolet won't come here to be back-up. He wants to be the No.1 for Belgium at the World Cup. I'm with Bob on Reina.

                    I'm sure Rodgers won't guarantee him a place either.
                    Are we winning?

                      Not sure. You wouldn't think so. But then can't see Mignolet having any interest in coming

                        Buying Mignolet would be a waste of money IMO if Reina's staying.
                        Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

                          Can't see it mate. Suspect Reina will be going. Club probably know it too.

                          Didn't we give Brad Jones a new deal...so can't see him going

                            Question is if Reina have started to burn his bridges here, showing his interest in joining bigger clubs? Perhaps the manager/backroom want's someone dedicated to the mission instead...

                            I know I would if a player started looking for transfers...

                              I think a few times he's toyed with an idea of a move. His wages are sky high
                              (£140k p/w allegedly) and if there is a club wanting to buy him, he'll be sold. I like Reina but I honestly think there are better options out there which would save the club money

                                I like Pepe, he is one of the games great characters. However, IMO he is going to leave
