Reina demands showdown talks with Kop - Exclusive Published 23:00 23/10/10 By Paul Smith Pepe Reina will hold showdown talks with Liverpool to seek assurances about the direction the club. The developments will be watched by Arsenal who look certain to make a move for the Spanish goalie if he remains unhappy at Anfield. Although Reina had a close working relationship with former boss Rafa Benitez he does not appear to have the same bond with new boss Roy Hodgson. The Gunners interest in him is clouding issues and Reina is deeply concerned about the direction Liverpool are going in. Agent Manuel Garcia Quilon will meet with Liverpool new owners NESV to thrash out the player’s concerns and resolve any immediate issues over his future. Reina said himself recently that this is the worst experience he has had since joining the club. His contract runs until the summer on 2016 so he won’t come cheap for Arsenal if they attempt to take advantage of his troubled situation. It’s believed that Liverpool could hold out for as much as £20 million before they even consider allowing Reina to leave. Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina puts Arsenal on red alert by demanding showdown talks with Reds owners NESV over the direction the club is headed - News - MirrorFootball.co.uk So for all those who want to give Roy a chance, we are seeing that not only we are being dominated and outplayed every single time we go on the pitch, but our best players are alienated and want out because of the mess he has created, I'm afraid if he stays past this week, the longer he stays, the more our crisis deepens, the more our players will become alienated and it will be evident that we'll be heading toward relegation, Roy's future needs to be addressed quickly, I'm afraid if he was given time till Christmas, we've seen how West Ham played in the second half of the season in 2003 and still got relegated because of how tight the league was then, and if we gave him time till Christmas, I'm afraid it will be little too late to fix the problems he caused.

SPAIN WANT TORRES REST Spanish national team coach Vicente del Bosque has urged Fernando Torres to delay his return from injury with Liverpool. Torres returned to training in midweek following a lay-off with a knee problem and is line to return for the clash with Wigan on March 8. European Champions Spain are amongst the favourites to take the Word Cup crown in July and the 59-year-old says his country's chances are improved by Torres being kept out of action. The comments could anger Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez, who has seen his talisman play just 21 times this season. He has notched 12 goals during an injury ravaged campaign that has seen the club struggle to hold onto the coveted fourth Champions League place. Torres' recent battle with a groin problem was sustained whilst on international duty with Spain, reigniting the club versus country row that provides the backdrop to national team fixtures. But del Bosque wants the 25-year-old to play less for the Merseysiders in an attempt to keep him in top condition for this summer's finals in South Africa. He told the News of the World: "The fewer games Fernando plays for his club, the better it will be for us. "We want him not to play too many games, to recover completely for the World Cup and have had some rest in between. We'd like him fresh for the tournament. "That can only be good news for Spain. We hope Liverpool's loss will be our gain. "Fernando Torres represents a crucial part of our squad." -------------------------------- Fucking shit hound. I hope he gets a scorching case of herpes.
