Where is this from? Rodgers seem t say one thing one moment and something else seconds later, but... October 11th in the Echo. The Spanish shot-stopper has endured a tough start to the season with some alarming errors against the likes of Hearts, Arsenal and Norwich. However, the Anfield boss insists he has no concerns about Reina’s form and sees the 30-year-old as key to the Reds’ hopes of future success. “I can’t speak highly enough of Pepe,” said Rodgers. “He’s a keeper who has really impressed me. He’s a good guy who comes in and works hard every day. “Like all the other players here he’s trying to improve and become a better player. ... “That header against Udinese, it looked like a goal,” added Rodgers. “I think everyone inside Anfield probably felt it was probably going to go in. “But it was a wonderful reaction from Pepe and a great arm to push it out. “There is obviously a lot of pressure on every player when they play for a top club, but it’s at moments like that when you see who the top keepers really are.”

I dont get why we should have to be reacting before anythings happend. Its 1 club in the world he has said he'd think about joining if they approached him. If Barca contacted us and wanted to negotiate, fine start negotiating with them. Start the process of finding/securing our replacements and drag the Barca deal out until we have the replacement secured. We get the price we want, the other club dosnt have a clue about the sum we sold for and thus wouldnt know how much to squeeze out of us.

Yeah I guess it works both ways, but had we sold first (it seems obvious to me that Reina is beeing replaced rather then him wanting) the risk of having a £100k? reserve keeper would be eliminated, thats a nice little sum & talent beeing wasted over the course of a season.

Wouldnt this kind of push Reinas price down. Buying club would know we have two 1st keepers, it would be expensive to keep both and we would probably want to sell Reina...

So youre naive enough to think that the FA dont have agents in LFC forums looking for theories like this one so they can f*** us over at the slightest chance? Well done, youve f***ed us over!

Any of the other strikers in their squad been injured for 6 months of the previous season?

Didnt Mkhtitaryans team mate move to City for £30m? And this guys is supposed to be better and younger? I'll be surprised if we can land him without a big sale. Then theres always the possibility of them being kind to us of course.

Cant help but feel that if we sell Coates, and not loan him out, that it will be a big mistake. From what I've seen of him so far at Liverpool reminds me of the start Agger had. Nonchalant on the ball, not physical enough and not up to the pace.

ok

Is this based on FM stats? How on earth would you know they "would improve" us on anyone we have. Making it out as Skrtel has been s**** for his entire career with us, been head and shoulders above our great Carra the two previous seasons...

Di Natale would be one of my main targets, no idea about his contract situation, but an old head, lightning quick (for his age) & a deadly finisher. Was s***ting myself when he got subbed on in the UEFA against us and he nearly sent us packing. Seems like a proper pro that takes care of himself and wants to play too.

Only Belford rings a bell out of those really. Did we sign him from somewhere? (The next someone...)

Unless we spend £100m successfully there is no realistic chance of us challenging the top 3 before a ball is kicked. The manchesters and Chelsea are far richer and more attractive then us, they will strengthen & probably widen the gap. Can always hope we'll find some inspiration and will perform on an unexpected level, but being realistic getting to challenge for that 4th spot is going to be a battle itself.

Susan Black, promoted on Wednesday wasnt she? Welcome aboard!

signed a new 2 year deal a few weeks ago

Couthinho Gerrard Suarez Henderson & Reina wasnt bad either

Pepe have been covering for the defence like that one how many times for 7 years now, lovely inch perfect strike from Aguero. If hed had a great season and that goal got in, we'd been praising Aguero's finish. As Pepe is having a difficult season, its his fault.

To me that sounds like Suarez... looking at how we play I wouldnt mind a Di Natale to feed off the space and chances Suarez makes.

Didnt see the last goal, or 2nd half for that matter, did he do something that overshadows the lack of a defence?

of course, just to conserve his value and keep him in the shopping window. Its a strategy that is proven
