Er, another mong Napoli were certainly interested in a permanent deal when they initiall contacted us! But why pay for something we offered for free and with extra subsidies???

 

How long is left of the transfer window? Mignolet has barely been here 6 weeks ergo Reina has been available relatively recently, normally when you hold an auction for something yo dont accept the first offer and then undercut yourself with better terms for the buyer. Thats what actually happend, its a deal, its a steal, its sale of the fucking century!

 

I might ring up the club shop, ask hiom much a LFC shirt is, you never know they might offer to loan it to me for a year for nothing, and pay towards the cost of washing it!

 

If it were indeed true that we turned down the opportunity of a permanent deal, have you ever asked yourself why we'd do that?

Dennis, you're sooo literal - you must work in IT.

All managers bullshit. It's PR Dennis. It's damage limitation. It's diplomacy. It's to gain some sort of advantage over the opposition. Some even bullshit their own fans about their own situation.

I think there is substance to Reina wanting out, but I'm not going to search for articles. Your fantasy is the generous terms lfc offered to Napoli. can you be specific? and factual? or have you based all your trust on a speculative report because it chimes with your own opinion?

 

Maybe ask Dave if there is any truth to my fantasy about Reina wanting out.

 

Oh right, my shits PR and yours is fact.

 

He signed a new contract only last January.

Secondly this is Napoli who said that not LFC, you dont need to search for articles, as there are none.

 

I can be specific, yes, very specific, without speculation, they have no reason to lie, according to them they enquired about a permanent transfer and we offered a loan deal which they agreed to right away.

 

A permanent deal, even a shit one for say, £3m would have been better terms for us would it not??? Loaning him out is a better deal to you is it??

He´s upped sticks at the first sign of competition,and would have been in Barca colours weeks ago if Valdez hadn´t opted to stay the extra year.Watching the first games of the 2012/13 season review made me wince.

 

Move on.

 

This is becoming tedious:

Hey, watch the rest of the season review and come back to me, try and stick to the known facts.

I didn't want Reina to go and thought he'd be here for one more season before heading off to Barca. I would have wished him well then. But since he's going to Napoli on loan now, I'll honestly wish him the best. I might even try to watch a Napoli match.

 

With Mignolet, I only pray that he does turn out to be a better keeper than Reina and has a great season with us.

Theres not many of us on here compared to the idiot brigade but I can assure you, we are asking that very question, amongst others.

 

Most people dont seem to be doing so tho.

 

As I said earlier, my best guess, is that he must be shagging Rogers and Henry's wives as it dont make no fucking financial sense even though, that is the apparent reason, even though signing Mignolet was about providing competiton for Mignolet, its a never ending cycle of lies out the club, some of us are swallowing it, some of us are asking questions and probing for answers and reasons as to thwey the fuck we would do this.

Or a permanent transfer was nixed by Reina as it'd mean taking a pay cut.

Theres no substance whatsoever to that premise' date=' Napoli are simply the first club that came and enquired about him, that we know of anyway, with 6 weeks to go.

They enquired about a permanent transfer we offered him up on loan and to pay a proportion of his wages.

 

How many idiots do I have to correct on shit like this?

 

Do your homework and stop chatting falsehoods and bollocks!

 

If the above isnt being forced out I dont know what is.

 

Saved us loads of money this deal! Del Boyesque![/quote']

 

Irony prices have gone through the roof here. So Napoli are simply the first club that came and enquired are they Dennis? How do you know Reina's agent hasn't been whoring him all over Europe for months? How do you know other clubs haven't made an approach?

 

There is fuck all substance to your assertions, Dennis. You're homework is terrible. All you've done is write your name at the top of the page and done a big runny shit on it. You haven't answered any of the questions at all. 0/10. See me.

Why would they when he's been shit since arsenal bid 3 years ago

 

Cant wait to hear when Suarez has been loaned out to Barca with half his wage paid, how he's been shit for the past year and would have cost a lot in wages, he was waiting for the real transfer apparently but Higuain said he was staying put so we cant afford to pay for him to be on the bench, given that Sturridges form in the last 6 months was better and we cant afford to have Suarez on the bench on his wage, etc, etc, etc Bullshit revisionism justification mental acrobatic wankery that you specialise in.

 

Its a fucking shit deal, call it as it is.

 

You dont have to defend FSG, they have a multi Million PR operation going on, if you arte going to spout this midless robotic, tedious shit at least get on the phone to them and ask for a wage, after all, tehyve just saved minus £9.5m with this deal so should be flush with cash.

We havent even tried to sell Reina, theres a problem with that argument as theres still a lot of twists and turns to go in the transfer window.

 

You think he'd be prepared to sit on the bench next season?

 

Lets see, can we find any issues with that idea?

 

Best chance in ten years he's had to claim the number one jersey for his national team given Casilla's problems in the last year and a world cup year?

 

Reinas clear record of being a trouble causer who is out for the money?? Oh right theres no precedent for that.

 

His willingness to move on loan?

 

Now you could be correct but without any proof of this idea and given the above I think I'll take the sane option and dismiss it out of hand.

How do we know anything?

What about them approaching for a permanent deal but us then offering something better?

 

What you say is irrelevant really, your notions, which is all they are, crafted handily to fit round a nice, neat defence of Rogers/FSG with extra helptings of bias, really do not make the slightest bit of sense.

Most of your garbage I cant really be bothered with as anyone who reads our conversation can see through your juiggery pokery here.

That said, the main problem with your premise is the hole in it thats 6 weeks big, in a transfer window where a lot of poker cards are being held. We have foldied before the first fucking round of poker.

 

You claim no clubs were interested in him, thats your claim, its ludicris nonsense, Pepe Reina, 2nd choice Spain goalkeeper, distinguished career behind him, is suddenly unable to find a club and flung on the footballing scrapheap at the age of 30 and would have had to retire or simply see out his contract with us playing 2nd fiddle to Gulacsi.

Meanwhile, in the real world Downing turned down an £8M move to West Ham.

 

Thats how ridiculous your claim that no one wanted him or wanted to pay a fee for him is.

 

Are you going to wake up now and alter your point or you going to stick to it?

 

That level of insanity could see you lose your job, your kids, your credit rating and all kinds because you are clearly not all there.

Hvae you had an accident at work recently, been getting headaches, that kind of thing??

Pffft' date=' as theories go mate that one is right out there.

It's quite fucking obvious that Reina is having an affair with Rogers wife.[/quote']

 

I wasnt serious about that idea for another other mongs out there (Clearly it is too late for you) thats me alluding to the fact that it doesnt make any fucking sense on any level and that there more to this that the proven liars, Rogers/FSG are claiming.

 

Heres hoping Reina doesnt hold back. Although he might stay quiet out of respect. The big ledg!

It's not the end of the transfer window, i'll grant you, but that doesn't mean efforts haven't been made either by the club or his agent to find him a new club permanently

 

You think he'd be prepared to sit on the bench next season?

 

No, and i don't think we'd be prepared to have him sit on the bench either, hence the loan.

 

Reinas clear record of being a trouble causer who is out for the money?? Oh right theres no precedent for that.

 

It seems you're thinking in good guy/bad guy terms. That doesn't need to be the case.

 

Pepe's not obligated to take a pay cut and accept a permanent transfer that sees him bring in less money. It doesn't make him a cunt.

 

His willingness to move on loan?

 

Seems perfectly plausible to me that Pepe would jump at the chance to move on loan, team up with Rafa and Valero again, stay on the same wages and keep his options open for next summer where he'll probably end up at Atletico.

 

Now you could be correct but without any proof of this idea and given the above I think I'll take the sane option and dismiss it out of hand.

 

Fair enough. I think this whole situation is pretty fucking far from ideal, but had Barca come in for him as expected and we had no replacement and were subsequently raped over the price of Mignolet i suspect many would have had a proper whinge about that too.

Dennis is insane.

 

 

Does he honestly believe Napoli tried to sign him on a permanent deal, only for us to tell them 'why buy him when you can have him on loan? Don't worry about his astronomical wages either, we'll sort that out.'

They turned us down the first couple of times out of embarrassment, but we insisted. We actually bartered them down from 18m, then 14, then 7. Now it's a loan. If we don't get this tied up soon, we're going to end up paying them for the transfer.

I've just seen the other quotes by Rodgers. This makes it seem like something has been going on for a while. Based on nothing but the quotes, which probably don't tell the entire story, it looks like we thought he was going to Barca, we got Mignolet, Barca fell through, then Pepe didn't want to be number 2 because he might lose his place at the world cup. I'm not sure there's much blame on anybody. Fair enough that Reina wanted to step up at a point in his career where he doesn't have too much longer to do it, fair enough for us being pro-active and wanting to get a player in first, and when it fell through it's fair enough that he's moved on. Oh, and fair enough for us not wanting a player wasting away on the bench whilst earning world-class money. A messy situation but sometimes that happens.

 

'It reared its head over the last few months and I had to prepare for it by bringing in a new goalkeeper.'

 

He’s got a big season ahead because it’s a World Cup year and one where, if he wasn’t going to be playing, could severely harm his chances of going.

A very good summary.

 

For once, we are in control. our replacement is in situ, if pepe goes we save £5m a year on wages, and get a fee if there is a sale.

 

After the chaos of the KK/ Comolli/ Carroll era, it is good to see a balanced approach.

So? Valdes didn't mean Reina couldn't join Barca. Plus, the situation to which Rodgers was referring was going on for much longer than that.

The first sentence of that bleacher report (WTF!?) says valdes 'expects to stay.'

 

You expect LFC to work on the premise of a web article that isnt even certain!?
