And then there was one...

[ReDeus]

Only one Spaniard left from the Rafa era (excluding reserves/youth players).

 

 

 

Wonder how long the great man will stick around for now that his mates and mentor have all gone?

Hope he remains for a while longer...

[J-V]

Now I would be truly gutted if he ever left.

[DooooodekNo5]

This has been on my mind since Torres shit out us.

 

I hope he stays forever.

[llego]

I think this would hit me on a whole different level than Torres.

 

Reina has never sulked or done anything to hint that he wasn't a god.

[s(k)aturation]

 

Nice one, Luis. Pick that out of the net, Cech!

[The Dude Abides]

Need to buy up a Spaniard or two i think. That left back at Newcastle would do for a start. Then Javi Martinez for CM.

[chauncey]

His leaving (for he would choose to leave, rather than be sold) will be a far more profound loss to this club than Torres.

 

I just hope his words aren't as hollow as his mate's.

 

 

*prays Pepe stays friends with Stevie and Carra*

[Beantown Red]

I think he will stay, 28 goalkeeper, he can afford to stick around for the rebuilding, and I don't think he is a fraud like that other scum bag.

[WrongIslander]

I'd be gutted if he left but if he decided to leave and it was at the end of the season and he was straight with us as he always has been, he'd go with nothing but my respect and admiration.

 

A fantastic goalkeeper and a seemingly honest sound gent.

 

When he was given the armband I was made up, not cos Stevie lost it, but because it showed him what we all really think of him.

[mlwilliams]

I'd be absolutely devastated if he left. He's on a whole different level than Torres, he's someone we can't afford to lose imo.

Agreed. I can't imagine him walking out on us the way Torres did. If he wants to go he will do it in a far more respectful way.

[Shreddy]

Sorry but no matter what you say about Pepe he will never leave like Torres. he always gave his all on the pitch and if you hear from the players als great off the pitch.

[redsoxs]

With VDS retiring (40) this summer, it wouldn't surprise me if Media/FA/SKY/The Queen will all be wanting Raina going to United, if you think Torres to Chelsea leaves a bitter taste, wait until the summer.... the press biggest story for 12 weeks will be "Raina for United"

 

Does anyone think the agent won't try talks?

He's a different class of a character altogether to Torres. He's more sociable and has integrated into the squad a lot more. The fact that he's the only Spaniard in the starting XI won't bother him one bit, he probably has more in common with Carroll and Suarez than with Torres. He's part of the club and is at home here.

If we don't make top 4, which lets be honest is unlikely, I'll put a lot of money on him leaving too. The mancs, Arsenal or most likely back to Barca.

[JaminKibbler]

He's such a hero for everyone at the club, I don't think he'll ever leave us, ever.

[AmerScouse]

if he wants to go home to spain, i won't begrudge him that. he's been a dedicated servant to the club, and would cost no less than 20 million pounds.

 

i adore this man and think he should be our skipper, but if he wants out at some point, kenny said it best, no one is bigger than the club.

 

though we'll have one hell of a time replacing him

[a stoner]

This is the only spaniard who has been totally faithfull and committed to our club.

He would be a major major loss to us.

[TommyW]

us do business with the Mancs? not with Kenny in charge, no chance

They've all been fully committed to us, other than Torres, the rest were offloaded.

 

Re Reina, I'd be wary of pinning too much emotion on any one player, not just after recent events, but because of the way the game is going.

[YNWAViking]

To be fair all of the Spaniards Benitez brought in has been pretty good for us. We definitely need more Spaniards. :)

Joke of the year.

 

 

Only a few have been good I'd say, most of them have been terrible.

[Carradona]

I reckon I would go on a killing spree if Pepe left.

[Kurt]

Pepe Reina makes me proud to be bald!

[Wor Horse]

Pepe is scouse.
