Reina preté à Naples

Tout bon pour Mignolet même si c'était prévu que c'était lui qui allait jouer

C'est dire à quel point il avait peur de Mignolet: il a esquivé le combat.

Titulaire indiscutable qui file se faire prêter quand Mignolet arrive, c'est vrai que ça le fait pas des masses mais tant mieux pour Simon, il le mérite! Dommage que Verthongen se soit blessé aujourd'hui...il faut absolument qu'on ait presque toute notre équipe pour affronter l'écosse en septembre

Guillaume je crois que tu connais rien de l'histoire.

Petit récap :

En juin, Liverpool s'est épanché pas mal dans la presse pour refourguer son keeper espagnol qui leur bouffe 120 k £ la semaine en salaire. Et en acheter un moins cher qui a de la gueule. Mignolet donc.

Seulement, malgré les tentatives de Liverpool, reina voulait continuer chez les Reds malgré qu'on le liait à Barcelone (en remplacement de Valdes).

Ils ont acheté Big Si' en espérant que Reina annonce son départ, mais ce gars est conscient qu'il touchera pas un aussi gros salaire même en jouant au Barça ou ailleurs. Donc il a claironné qu'il restait. D'ailleurs Rodgers a même indiqué que le meilleur jouera et vu que Mignolet a repris avec le groupe avant Reina et a fait deux clean sheets en amical et en réalisant des bons arrêts (et de bons entrainements), il a pris une longueur d'avance. En plus tout portait à mettre Mignolet dans les buts, quelques joueurs ont encensés Simon pour ses qualités, notamment Henderson.

A mon avis ce prêt, c'est pour amortir légèrement le poids du salaire car Liverpool veut s'en débarasser. Ils sont pas aussi endettés pour rien, ils ont fait une gestion foireuse niveau transferts, et donner des gros salaires à des joueurs qui sont juste bons mais pas excellent en fait partie.

Merci de m'avoir "éclairé" alors

Et puis sincèrement, Reina n'a plus du tout le même niveau qu'avant. Le nombre de points qu'il a fait perdre à Liverpool la saison précédente...

Pas de souci Guillaume, en tant que supporter des Reds, je devais bien ça Reina n'est pas super impressionnant car sa défense était quiche (à part Agger les autres étaient irréguliers) et quand ils faisaient jouer le très rapide Carragher derrière, c'était synonyme de catastrophe  Reina est un gardien qui est bon mais il faut pas compter sur lui pour gagner 10 points à lui tout seul. Mignolet par contre j'ai de l'espoir

ha Jeece un supporter de Liverpool je suis d'origine anglaise, et mes arrières arrières grand parents venaient d'un petit bled a coté de Liverpool voila pourquoi j'ai plus d'attachement à Liverpool mais j'adore le foot britannique un peu moins arsenal (trop frenchie pour moi )

Yep et mon frère est supporter de Chelsea (et uniquement de chelsea, il a aucune accroche avec le foot belge ^^), la rivalité chez moi ça me connait hahaha

J'ai quand même eu une petite pensée pour Mignolet, qui même si il ne jouait pas, a eu droit à son premier YNWA en Australie chanté par 95 000 personnes dans un stade presque entièrement rouge (le club en face a du se sentir bien seul^^), magnifique !

Jeece, on risque de s'entendre, j'adore Liverpool moi aussi  Mignolet est bien meilleur que Reina, bon renfort pour les Reds. Mais je persiste à croire que Reina est moins bon qu'avant... C'est vrai que Skertl et Carragher c'est pas génial mais Agger, Jonhson et Enrique sont vraiment bons je trouve. Je revois encore Reina aller à la pêche lors du match contre City, invitant cordialement Aguero a égalisé

@ Ash, trop marrant, un deuxième supporter du club d'origine anglaise, mon père vient de la banlieue de Londres, Chelsea, mais moi je suis supporter d'Arsenal sorry... et hélas de QPR qui descend suite à une politique de transfert de merde... malgré l'argent à dispo pour le coach

Reina's letter in full
It is a strange feeling for me to think that next season I will not be a Liverpool player. For the past eight years, that is all I have known. The club, the staff, the city, the people and the supporters have played a massive part in my life.
Liverpool is special in a way that only those who are lucky enough to experience the club close up can understand. It has given me memories that will live with me forever and friendships that will last just as long.
But more than anything else, it has given me an understanding of what it is like to play for the most wonderful English club. I may not have won as many trophies and medals as I would have liked since joining in 2005 but the experiences I have been a part of are as important as any silverware.
I now understand how supporters can lift a team and inspire them to do special things. I appreciate that there is something unique about Anfield and the atmosphere it creates. I believe that anything is possible no matter what the situation is because at Liverpool there is no such thing as a lost cause.
And I have been humbled by the fight for justice for the 96 which showed me that the Liverpool people will always fight for what they believe in.
I know that I have been blessed to be part of a Club like that and I hope that in return I have always given my best and represented Liverpool in the right way. There have been good times and bad times but no matter what the situation has been I hope that my passion has been clear.
I have been asked what my favourite Liverpool moment was and if I had to pick one it wouldn’t be a save or winning a trophy. It would be my celebration against Manchester United when David Ngog scored a late goal. That is probably the quickest I have ever run in my life! It shows what playing for Liverpool meant to me and also that there was nothing better than winning a big game at Anfield.
I used to look at the Kop when we scored those kind of goals in big games and I would be jealous of the supporters going crazy. If the closest I will get to that is running the length of the pitch and jumping on my team mates backs then that will do for me.
Obviously, I won’t be able to do that next season but I hope that the supporters and my team mates will be able to enjoy many more moments like that. They deserve the best of times and it would give me so much pleasure to see Liverpool back where they belong, challenging for trophies and getting back into the top four. That was where the club was when I first arrived and although I am leaving a different club, one with new owners, a new manager, new players and new challenges, I honestly believe that Liverpool can reach those levels again.
I am disappointed that I will not be part of that and although it was not my decision to leave I will accept it just like I have always accepted any decision that Liverpool have taken for me. They signed me, picked me, gave me some of the best experiences of my life and looked after me. If they feel that the best thing for me and for them is for me to go on loan to Napoli for a season then so be it. Napoli is a new challenge for me and I know that the fans are just as passionate about their team as the Liverpool fans, so I am really looking forward to playing for them this season and I will give my all.
But if I have one regret, it is the way that I am leaving. It is only natural that I would be disappointed that the Liverpool management agreed to loan me to Napoli without telling me first, I thought that I deserved better than that even though I understand that difficult decisions have to be taken in football.
A lot has been made about me informing the club that if an offer came in from Barcelona that I would have liked them to consider it. But I had also spoken to the club about the possibility of extending my contract if the offer was not made.
I told the manager that I wanted to play for Liverpool and that Barcelona would only become an option for me if the opportunity arrived, like the rumours said it would, as it would be a chance for me to go back home. When it didn’t come I was happy to fight for my place so I was surprised that Liverpool decided it was in the club´s interests to send me to Napoli instead.
None of this will change my feelings for the club or the people in any way and now I have to look forward to a new challenge with Rafa Benitez, who I consider to be the best manager I have worked with, and I am fortunate to be going from one great club to another.
Napoli remind me in many ways of the Liverpool I found in 2005, in all the affection they have shown me on my arrival, in having an ambitious project, even in coinciding and working with Benitez again…This memory which in part unites me with you, makes me happy and feel very motivated to begin this new project.
This is my chance to say thank you to everyone for everything that you have given to me and to my family. My children consider Liverpool to be their home and hopefully their love for the city and also for the club will only grow while we are away. I would have liked to have been able to say goodbye in a different way but because of the way the move came about this was not possible.
Maybe in the near future I can do it properly so that I can show my appreciation to you but all I would ask now is that you keep on inspiring the manager and the players just like you always have done and help Liverpool to become the club that you deserve once again. I would like nothing better than to come back at the end of my year away and for Liverpool to be back where they belong.
Thank you for everything. Good luck. I will see you soon.
Pepe Reina

Lettre ouverte de Pepe Reina qui indique qu'on l'a poussé à aller au club de Naples. En gros il clame l'amour qu'il porte à ce club si spécial, et sa déception de ne pouvoir continuer/terminer sa carrière. Il apprécie Naples (et Benitez) sans compter la passion de ses supporters mais la facon dont les dirigeants l'ont recasé, il n'a pas aimé.
