Reina will leave if rafa does

[CJ]

i think anyone who says pepe is easiloy replacable does not understand football.

Being a keeper isnt just about shot stopping. Which he does very well
Its not just about coming for crosses. this is his weakest point
Its not just about being comanding. he does well
Its not just about giving the defense confidence. he undoubtedly does this
Its not just about mental strength.. he has this in spades
Its not just about good distribution. best in the league for this
Its not just about almost being a sweeper. he does this very well

its about all of that. the reason its hard to replace pepe is that while lots of keepers are good at one or two of the attributes required not many are good over a breadth of them.

Pepe is awesome and would be extremely difficult to replace because aside from the keeping he actually sets up so many attacks for us.

I cannot think of an equally good alternative off hand, so he just better stay put for now!!

Iker Cassilas
Petr Cech (Could be possible if we get Mourinho as manager)

[Tee]

Iker Cassilas Cannot see him leaving Real - much like Raul
Petr Cech (Could be possible if we get Mourinho as manager)Mourinho??? No ****ing wayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both have or are about to sign long contracts at their current clubs. Not gonna happen.

[Nic83]

cmon then.....tell us a few alternatives?

the only good keeper not at a big club is the lad at Schalke....and he wouldn't be cheap

LOL, aren't opinions wonderful as for me, he'd be one I wouldn't take! (although one of his mistakes which cost me a bet is fresh in my mind, followed by another shocker not long after and I've only seem him live about 5 times!)


I know I'll get shot for this but Given would be ideal. Not because I'm biast but because being Irish, I've been watching him closely and he is truly fantastic IMO, ask Thierry Henry his opinion too

[Dhav]

Shay Given? :laugh: That's a joke right? My Geordie mate rates Steve Harper above Given.

The only keepers better than Pepe are IMO Cech, Casillas, and possibly Buffon. There may be one or two others but I cant think of them. Anyway, we've no chance of getting any of those. I reiterate, losing Pepe would be disatrous

Yawn ****ing yawn

i think given is overrated,i'seen him make mistakes like most keepers.i don't rate his kicking especialy if he's put under pressure.

You're right, I'd shoot you.

As do mine and they'd give us both for Pepe too.

[Nic83]

loads of good keepers about.

Maybe not quite as good as Reina ones that would do a job just as well. Friedel being one. He's improved massively since he left us.

[Craig_H]

Rafa aint gonna leave and Reina's not going anywhere.

[Nic83]

LOL, you probably shouldn't have used the word Geordie!

Bingo.

End of discussion.
