Seconded?
I'm bummed that he's gone. Great keeper. Good dude.
But I also think that Mignolet will have a good future - so it's cool.

This, many times over.
As long as he doesn't Letomign I couldn't give a fuck how you spell him....
Is it safe??
Come on, this lad like others moans and moans about our downward spiral but then puts Rafa on a plateau. It was pissing away millions on dross like Keane, Aquilani etc and then moaning about a lack of financial backing, that started it. Massive crippling wage bills and a load of deadwood to move on didn't exactly help us rebuild. It's taken years to get over, which is partly why we're here. Yet this guy can't wait to lay into the owners and Rodgers at every opportunity. From where I'm sitting we've done a relatively good job of restructuring the club and stopping it going under, while Rodgers has been a part of a long term vision for the club to build a young exciting team. It's early days but it's endearing enough to watch us try to work on a project without the manager moaning about a lack of funds.
I think Mark is consumed by his hatred of Benitez. Let it go little buddy.
Nope. I found it weird that he was probably the least deserving of a winners medal from that squad, considering he did not feature in any of the important/knockout games. But yet there he was grabbing the microphone and giving it socks in front an entire country. Annoying was the wrong word, it was just sad.
That's pretty mean spirited. Did Reina 'deserve' to be the second or third best keeper in the world at a time when the best was his rival for the national team? You could just as easily put a positive spin on it and say how great he is for getting in the spirit of the team and not dwelling on his personal misfortune.
Too many cynics here I think.

I'll bet that's one of Ken's favourite expressions.
Nah, not cynical. I appreciate that Reina was a top quality 'keeper.
But the cheer leading was sad IMO.
What exactly was the history? Didn't Arsenal make at least one major bid for him? And if so what happened?
The Spanish loved it. Even grudgingly you'd have to accept that it shows a certain amount of character to get up in front of an entire country and MC in such good spirits...
I have a horrible feeling we will miss Reina...
Anyway it's done now should we not just all move on?
I'm not that bothered about him flirting with other clubs. Gerrard probably came closer to leaving us for a rival than Reina did and he was forgiven. If he did come back out of shape and lacking motivation than that is harder to forgive.
Either way, I will remember Reina fondly. He was a great keeper for us and even if he was looking out for his own career at our expense at times (don't blame players for that these days) seemed like a pretty good guy.

If we do and he performs well at Napoli, I suppose there is always the small chance that he could come back and stay at Liverpool for a few years longer. Seems unlikely though.
Ain't that the truth.
A ruthless manager gets things done for the benefit of the club. Not everyone is going to like or loathe him.
Pepe flirted one too many times with Arsenal and Barca. "You should want to play for Liverpool and nobody else, or you should go. You can’t dictate which clubs come in for you" — John Barnes
Except dear old Digger tried to do just that. His reputation has undergone a revision in recent years, but the reality was he was talking about wanting a move to an Italian club - he mentioned Sampdoria a few times without any deal materialising - for a couple of seasons. Then he did his achilles, lost much of his pace and was happy to keep playing for LFC.
Let's just say his talking from his own first hand experience but there's truth to what he says regardless.
And he delayed joining us in the hope that Arsenal would come in for him - allegedly.
Lucky they had Perry Groves and didn't need him.
Arf.
Mind you, that ginger-nutted cnut caused us problems more than once.
