Pepe Reina?

He signed a contract just last summer.
Just to point out my thread in the Man Utd forum was not really to talk about transfer speculation otherwise I would have posted it in here. But it was a hypothetical question to see if all Utd supporters would welcome him or any Liverpool player to the club
Making him feel at home with the starfish pose?
I probably went a little too far!But yeah, I think Reina would be welcomed. Doubt he will ever play for United though.

I agree.
Sure Reina played for Liverpool, but so what, really. He isn't a scouser, isn't a liverpool supporter, he hasn't grown up hating United, he hasn't tried to wind up United fans with 5 finger salutes etc - he is just a pro who has played for them. Being a liverpool player/idol wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
I think this might happen
It's very telling that Torres has just gone to Chelsea, and Reina has gone out in the press to defend his compatriot moving to another English club.
The rumours of Reina to United have been going on for ages and now the Spanish presence is dwindling at Liverpool, perhaps he is finally ready to move to a big club

Funny you mention that because he complained about that yesterday and the fact Liverpool are no longer the Spanish Reds. Rafa, Arbeloa, Alonso, Torres all gone all he has now are Pacheco, Ayala and Suso
He's a great keeper now, but he'd be a bit of a short term signing. He'll be 29 a couple of weeks after the start of next season, and he's not the sort of player who is likely to play on anything like as long as van der Sar, given how reliant he is on his agility. For the next few seasons though, he is probably the best we could get.
Wow - I thought Reina was much younger, mid 20's. Not so keen on him now....
I dont see us doing business with Liverpool
Why not?
I know, I would still take him, but when I thought he was 25/26 he was a more enticing looking prospect than at 29.
We usually don't do business with Liverpool, but now I wouldn't mind having Reina, he's a very good GK.
Plus I like the fact that despite being a Liverpool fan favourite, he's refused to rule out the possibility of coming to us, I like your style Pepe.

if he leaves lverpool in his prime, it'll be to another english or perhaps an italian club.
barca and madrid's keepers are approx the same age as him and he has no chance of getting past them for their clubs since they'e been there for dogs years.

It just doesnt happen does it?
As good a keeper as he is, there is no way they will sell Torres to Chelsea and Reina to Utd within 6 months of each other
Oft quoted by folk on here but very naive nonetheless in my view. They are businessmen and will make calculated decisions not ones based on emotions. What the fans want is clearly not always in the best interests of any club.
As for Reina, would be disappointed to see him go (especially to Utd) but wouldn't begrudge him for leaving. He's too good for the Europa League and that's our level at the minute

They may have no choice.

Thats providing he even has that clause in his contract?
These quotes are also, probably, a load of bollocks.
Obviously.
Who are liverpool going to sign?
probably Robert Green for 6-9 mp, idiots !

Id be shocked if he did.
Id love it if you lost him though, it would never be to us, but he is in the top 3/4 keepers in the world for me. Anyone you got in would never be in his league.
If there isn't a clause, than there is no chance that Liverpool will sell him to us, would be a fantastic signing for us though.
He is the best goalkeeper in Premier League IMO, his shot stopping and distribution are fantastic.

Agree completely, as much as it irks me he has turned into a class keeper with them. Anyone who disagree's is in complete denial. Hes the stand out candidate.
Im not sure where the chief is coming from on this one. Every keeper makes mistakes, I challenge anyone to name one who doesnt. reina has worked extensivwely on his weaknesses. I saw a fecking howler from Schmeichel against Wednesday in 99 last night, mistakes arent the problem its how keepers react mentally to them. Foster and Howard couldn't deal with it. VDS is great in that regard and Ive no doubt Reina could be aswell.
Still feel a tad dirty though.
I'd take him at United. Who in the Premier League is better than him in net?
We would all take him, he's the best in my opinion.
Just wouldnt physically happen.
All top clubs need to sign goalkeepers except City.
Cech has not been the same since his head injury. Arsenal have needed a goalkeeper since Lehmann left, and the Spurs keeper is the biggest joker in the Premiership.

Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up playing for Arsenal or Chelsea.
Great keeper and PL proven.
Less of a gamble than DDG and Neuer. I would be delighted if we signed Reina.
But doubt Liverpool would sell him to us.

Cech is still a top keeper and good enough to play at the highest level with Chelsea. Can't see them changing him.
If he had a £20m buyout clause or whatnot then someone would have activated it already.
I rate Reina very highly and think he would do brillianty at United, but its never going to happen.

I dont believe for a minute he has a £20m buy out clause.
Hmm not necessarily. They may have looked at it before and thought he was unlikely to leave a club like Liverpool, especially as previously they had a fair few Spanish players.
No longer the case, he would have no affiliation to Dalglish in the way Gerrard or Carra would.
Then there's the chance people just didn't know about a buy-out clause.
I highly doubt he has such a release clause.
