Reina has been a disgrace for a few years now, just think he went stale which happens, when he never got his move to Arsenal 3 seasons ago his mind went and as we all know when that happens there is nothing down for you which was reflected in his performances. Wish him all the best though and has been a good servant,

What I can say from the initial report. I will just link it below, is that Agger, Reina, Gerrard, Cole and Henderson were all seen as red values - could be sold. It is some equation involving age, quality and fitness risk. Jones, Carragher, Skrtel, Johnson, Konchesky, Poulsen, Meireles, Jovanovic, Maxi and Kuyt were all marked as yellow values. 8 have moved on permanently, of the 15. Henderson was earmarked to leave last season, and now Reina has left. http://tomkinstimes.com/2011/06/fair-play-for-fenway/

All this talk of Reina not wanting competition is bs.
It stinks of yet more cost cutting and moneyball tactics by FSG.
Yet people still pretend we have a war chest to buy players. Mignolet's wages + Gerrard's new contract = Reina.
Downing, Johnson, Enrique, Henderson and Suarez are the highest earners left, they will all be on red alert.
interesting view that could be right , but as i said earlier its very easy to blame the owners over this . As it is Reina Faz. You have jumped to an unfounded conclusion from your initial post without any substantiated evidence. As Rogers has stated this week the clubs get offers for players every week in some shape or form. It doesn't mean we accept such a deal for a player like Reina. It appears clear though from previous player sales under Rogers that if you are not fancied you don't get a look in- Carroll for one. It appears he has been told that he won't start the season. Why would he want to stay? This is an absolutely ridiculous deal. If the new lad now gets injured we have a big weakness there. It's just cut cut cut to an already minuscule squad trying to make the top4. Even if this is about something noone has stated it's yet again been badly handled. None of your top clubs would have allowed such as deal as this. Why is it we get had over time and again by Spanish and Italian clubs with transfer dealings?

have to admit its got me puzzled  unless maybe were looking at one of there players ? other than that weres the win for lfc in that deal ? we loose a good keeper and replace/gain what?? The only one left of their three most coveted players is Hamsik now Cavani and Lavezzi have gone, I would happily take him but not sure he would want to come to us for the normally quoted reasons like no European competition. Looking through the rest of their squad and discounting their new signings ( http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/ssc-napoli/kader/verein_6195.html) they seem stacked with central midfielders so Gargano or Inler could provide experienced competition for Lucas but the most likely one might be L. Insigne. Lets hope its not Dossena we're after as competition for Enrique!

I dunno, I seriously doubt this was about competition Faz, I think we all expected him to leave even before Migs came into the squad. Napoli are playing in the CL and he is gonna be working with Rafa again, so he will be happy I am sure. +1 I can't be arsed with this thread and quite frankly, not going to get into it. Too much blind hatred from the same usual poster who's not here for discussion, but instead seethes and vents and repeats it'self like a broken record.. Shame, it seemed like a good topic.

If you read the LFC news on this site you would have noticed that Dunk has been saying that Reina will leave for months, mainly because of his relatively very high wages. The club buying Mignolet was the sign that Reina was being subtly pushed out, I don't think for a minute that Reina is afraid of any competition, he has been rather made to feel that he is not wanted so that he would put in a transfer request. That would have worked well with FSG's fans expectation management and save Reina's loyalty fees. Given that he did not put a transfer request, it was difficult for the club to keep him on his 110k weekly wages playing 2nd fiddle and I think his first choice is Barca. With this deadlock situation, a loan to Napoli is the best decision for FSG and himself, there will probably be a buy out clause if Barca does not come calling when Valdes' contract is over next summer. FSG is also expecting Reina's value to go up next year after playing under Benitez who knows him outside out. If he does go on loan (its not official yet) anybody not seeing that FSG's main priority is to reduce the wage bill by managing fans expectations is blind in my opinion. I am dead sure that if a 50m bid came for Suarez, he will be gone and it would probably be the same with going forward with our best players. I am not surprised at all like a few here.

I'm not particularly sorry to see the back of him either. But loans only benefit the new clubs, never the "owners" of players. Why on earth save wages for a season when you can save wages indefinitely and gain a transfer fee as well? Stupid business, this - unless there is an agreement in place for Napoli to loan one of their decent players to us.

A bigger load of [oops] i have never heard in my life. If Napoli were good enough for Maradona, they are good enough for ANYONE.
