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.
