Farewell pepe, officially a bayern player now.

Of all teams he could have went to, it had to be Bayern.

Don't like you anymore Pepe.

So Pepe to Bayern is a done deal with a quote from him about coming to win as many trophies as possible

Utopia Parkway

Thought he would have wanted to be number 1 somewhere rather than be Neuer's water boy. Guess it gives him a chance to win some trophies. Even if it's from sitting on the bench mainly.

How much did he go for?

Bizarre choice of destination to be honest. Reina has a rep for being a great character for the dressing room etc... but it says alot about his character, he would clearly rather be paid in the style he has become accustomed to rather than play.

He even gave the impression he'd be happy to sit on his backside at Liverpool and pick up his wages rather than take a pay cut to play. Hes still only 31.

Hate characters like that in the game, Wayne Bridge is another who springs to mind.

Reina could quite possibly win a champions league medal with Bayern and end up with a world cup, 2 european championships and a champions league (all whilst sitting on the bench).

If you think your coming across a pr*ck then I must be coming across as a c*nt.

Good riddance to Reina.

I'd rather say good riddance to Brad Jones than Reina tbh

We hate money grabbers!

I've just been on a Seville message board but I don't speak Spanish so had no idea what they are saying about Moreno

Pyjamarama

Let's not forget how good he was for us for a few years lads. When on the pitch he gave us his all.

Nerdlingr

I'd have him in the team over Mignolet.

Dont be at yourself

Goodbye Pepe.

Vicxas

Best of luck Pepe!

I got fed up of Reina's poor performances and then his open letter last summer tipped me over but saying all that, there was a period where he was one the better keepers this club has had. Exceptional distribution of the ball and something we have missed badly.

My favourite moment of his, we were in such a bad run of results and this was a very important goal. Saying that I remember we went on and lost 3-1 to Fulham the next week.

£5M in salary saved, which can be reinvested in a better second keeper and our new star striker!

Harry Palmr

Remember Christian Astu? - Went to Chelsea went on loan came back and went out on loan - to Everton! Who will buy him next summer no doubt.

Lot of d1ckheads on twitter saying he has done tendons and will be out for up to 6 months. Its the usual wind up merchants talking rubbish

Kess he actually wasnt at training this morning, confirmed by the Echo on twitter there. Shame as he will unlikely feature against Southampton now, but the upside is he will be well rested when he gets the winner v City

Well he was at Melwood this morning as he had his pic taken with some young supporters.

He is in training gear in the pics, although that is probably what he would wear to be checked out as well.

Reina at his peak was Liverpool's best keeper in my lifetime I'd say. Best of luck to him.

People have rose tinted glasses on re:Pepe

His wages are huge

He's not the shot stopper he once was

@Squawka

Pepe Reina has saved only 1 of the last 6 penalties he has faced in domestic league action over the past 2 campaigns.

Him staying would have a bad effect on the club.

This is not the man who would be staying

Reina was a quality keeper at his peak . I actually think him putting on all the muscle was a bad thing because when he lighter he was lightening quick .

That's all fine but just because someone wants to leave to join another club doesn't mean they should be hung drawn and quartered.

There's a lot a double standards going on here imo.

I assume this is from today

Nerdlingr

Nothing wrong with looking back on a players career with rose-tinted glasses when he leaves the club. He gave us some great years service and was a fantastic person to have around the club/dressing room. Good luck to him in Bayern. I've no ill feeling towards the man at all.

Fowler87

One of the best keepers we've ever had. In fairness to Reina he saw alot of top drawer players leave the club under the Hicks/Gilett era and he stayed on when at his best. Somewhat acrimonious circumstances leaving though. Good luck to him though

I hate when this argument is made about footballers. Just think logically for just a second, would you leave your job to go to another job that pays less money? Of course not. Footballers are the same. They're first concern when they change employer is (like us all) money. Simple as. I know reina already has more money than any of us would know what to do with but that still doesn't mean he's going to behave irrationally and choose taking a paycut

just to let youz all know, I don't think any of you are pr*cks or c-words, I was making an obviously failed attempt at irony.

Anyway with regard to Reina it is a pity he has left under something of a cloud as he was quite a favourite a few years ago - the flirting with Barcelona and falling out with Rodgers did him no favours and our excellent season last time out meant he was missed even less.

However let's remember he was one of the few to call H&G out publically and for a couple of seasons he was probably the best keeper in the premier league (alongside cech)

so no hostility on my end towards the guy but at the same time no great feeling of loss either - it could have ended up so much better for Pepe

That still means he has trained at some point since he came back. Is it the same knock that kept him out of the games in the US or did he get another?

Pepe Reina has saved only 1 of the last 6 penalties he has faced in domestic league action over the past 2 campaigns.

16-17% save rate, that's ok in my book. Think that's better than Mignolet, 2 saves from 15 faced?

It's nothing special or anything but saying he 'only' saved 1 in 6 is a bit harsh. I'm sure there's plenty of good keepers with 1 or 0 saves in their last 6

I stand by what I said.

Pepe Reina was a great keeper for the club.

The past couple of years have tainted his image for me personally.

The club would not be happy to pay his wages to a back up keeper.

Whatever happened between him and Rodgers meant that he would be getting very little game time ( if any)

I'm glad he's gone

but

I wish him well.

Aye, that's how it works. We need a striker and I have to come up with a list. It all depends on me.
