Reina to Napoli

[navbasi]

I don't think his wages will be a stumbling block. We'll just do a deal for around £3-£4m or so which will cover part of his wages as any buying club won't be willing to pay him more than £50k a week I reckon. Can't see us getting more than £4m for him.

 

Edit: oh and I thought he was ace. Met him after a game once and he was a lovely fella, took time out to have a chat even though it was during the Woy era when everyone and their dog wanted to commit suicide.

Twas true that for a time the Spaniard they call el Pepe was decent and worthy. Let no man forget that he didst bravely and magnificently spoke out against the evil that even now shall not be uttered. But twas it not also true that he did thence shart terribly on his cloth of honour by sending word (most lykeyly across the Channel by means of some french spy vessel) about his cowardly intent of leaving the divine brotherhood of Lyver of Pool? It is for these and other crimes against the Realm he was thenceforce  knownst as Pepe the Betrayer. Also it is true he didst knowingly and without sufference willingly and by his own foul machievellian like mind, refuse to deny association or future endeavours with the most Evyl of evils Los Diablos Rojas? ? And didst he not also write and freely distribute a letter provenst to be from his own hand and seal, in which he didst praise the pope of spain (who doth stand atop of mountain of sugar whilst his people starfve) and claim to be forever in his debt and a willing servant in any further foul campaigns in fairest Naples? Faeced with such compelling treasonous evidence the sentence is clear. Banishment and exile. Let him watch from the wasteland of Lone. Such wil be his fate and let his eyes weep with the tears of Brother Owen to see us rise like a magnificent Bird Of Lyver upon this the Lord's blessed day Ayprl thrice, 2 thousand and 14.

Superb.

I think the change of GK coach [under hodgson] affected Pepe greatly, as did the drop in the spanish contingency..

 

If that's true then he has a weak mentality.

[A_S]

I'm a sentimental bastard and would like him to end up at Atletico Madrid, with Torres.

[Newport]

What about him wanting to join Arsenal ? Are people allowed have a go at him for that ? I mean Suarez took shite, but put his head down and won people over, Reina's form just nose dived.

I don't see the difference. Their form isn't a relevant factor for me. None of the moves happened and it's in the past.

[Newport]

Then he writes an elaborate exit letter to the fans when he's only going on loan, sticking the knife in, raving about how Rafa's better than Brendan and how he'll be much happier now, probably thinking we'll finish 7th and Napoli will win the league. He's continually said all season that he's happy to stay there, it's only recently that he's started to be more ambiguous with it, " We'll see" coincidentally just around the time we find ourselves climbing higher and higher up the table. Fuck him, he's made his bed in Naples and he can lie in it. 

That is between Brendan and him. It happens all the time in football and I don't really care about those kind of personal conflicts. Most people would understand why he was bitter about being shown to the door after eight years at the club (even though he might have deserved it).

[stringvest]

He must have had a clue if he looked at how he had been playing. Surely he was aware that he wasn't hitting the heights of his form.

 

Anyway, he's gone , and we've got a league to win.

Pepe Reina : "Rafa Benitez who i consider to be the best manager i've worked with."

 

 

 

Benitez is a better manager than Rodgers.

 

or

 

Benitez is the best manager I've worked with.

 

You can either spin that in the most positive sense or do as you're doing and go for the paranoid bile.

If you want to waste time arguing about Rafa Benitez, Kenny Dalglish or even Don Welsh, do it in here and let the rest of us get on with discussing the present and future instead of point scoring about the past.

Technically, we're arguing about Reina. The subject of the preceived dig is by-the-by.

 

Either way, I doubt he'll be back. Good player, lost some form, pat on the back and move one.

[Ted]

We haven't missed him, or his stinking attitude.
