Amelia in, Reina out?

[andyhanrahan]

if we get the new owners cash and are going to buy a new goalie why not go the whole hog and buy buffon

[mersey86]

Reina isn't leaving. He's back to his best. He's clocking up the clean sheets again and he loves the club.

Pepe is one of the real strengths of our team. We should only let him go if he were to insist.

[Ron_Mexico]

wed be stupid to let reina go. the grass isnt always greener on the other side. we've got a real gem in pepe and hes only going to get better

Wouldn't that be class! If we have money and a good run in the Champs Lge we would have a good chance I think.

Think about the rivals:
Madrid don't need a keeper
Chelsea don't (or won't in the summer),
milan, inter - he said he would like to leave italy
barca would be our biggest rivals and I don't think barca have quite the money we will allegedly have.
Utd and Arse will probably put in a bid as well.

oh i can dream...

Liverpool open Reina contract talks as Valencia refuse to go away

The Guardian

Liverpool have opened negotiations with José Reina over an extension to his contract in an attempt to ward off persistent interest in the Spain goalkeeper from Rafael Benítez's former club, Valencia.

Reina, 24, still has well over two years to run on the deal he signed when he joined from Villarreal for £6m in the summer of 2005, but Valencia have contacted his representatives about a potential move. The implication is that they may try to sign him under the Bosman ruling when his Anfield contract expires, even though that is as far off as 2009.

Article continues
Benítez is keen to tie his goalkeeper down until 2011 at least. Reina, who kept 29 clean sheets in his first season at the club and has nine this term, is likely to see his salary increase, with Benítez encouraged by his return to form after a suspect start to this campaign, an initial sluggishness attributed to the World Cup finals.

"I'm really pleased with Pepé and we're talking to him about extending his contract here," said the Liverpool manager. "He's got two more years after this season, which is enough. But we're looking to extend it because we know there were some clubs asking about him and we don't want to sell him.

"We want to show we have confidence in him. When we decided to bring him here it was because we knew he was a very good goalkeeper but I also knew the person and his mentality. He's a very good professional, always joking in the dressing room. It's all very positive. He's getting back to his best, it's clear. He's better now and the team is better too. He needed confidence and, after two or three clean sheets he's back up there.

"He's still very young but, for me, he's one of the top three goalkeepers in England. In Spain now he's No1. Whether he plays or not for his country depends on the manager but, while we have some good goalkeepers in Spain, he's No1 as far as I'm concerned."
