Thommo's perm wrote:Liverpool FC boss Roy Hodgson tells Man United: Hands off Pepe Reina

ROY HODGSON today told any clubs considering making a move for Pepe Reina: don’t bother wasting your time.

The Liverpool keeper was linked with Manchester United earlier this week, with reports saying Alex Ferguson has identified Reina as the man he wants to replace Edwin van der Sar.
Arsenal are also known to be keen admirers of a player who has become an iconic figure on The Kop since he joined the Reds from Villarreal in the summer of 2005. Hodgson, though, is not in the least bit flustered by the fact that some are casting envious glances at Reina because he has made it emphatically clear the Spaniard is not for sale.
Reina, who has been tipped by both Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher as being a potential future Liverpool captain, only signed a new six-year deal in April.
That makes reports claiming he could be prised from Liverpool for £12m fanciful but, as Hodgson points out, there is no figure that he would even consider doing business.
“It (Reina to United) was just one of those stories that seems to occur – it’s just disappointing and annoying,” said Hodgson. “Pepe is fantastic here, he is a lifeblood of this team.
“Everything he does around the club is excellent – he is always lively in the dressing room, he is always first class in training and he always wants to do more to improve.
“He demands better from those around him, he is always pushing people on. He is a player who we hold in the highest esteem.
“We have heard nothing from Manchester United and, more to the point, we don’t want to hear anything from Manchester United.
“If (Alex) Ferguson is looking around at the end of the season and he has got lots of money to replace van der Sar, he might very well want Pepe Reina because he is the best around.
“But we do not want to sell him. I would like to think that we are going to become a successful club once again and Pepe is crucial to that.”
Hodgson’s comments last week in Naples that he feared United would chase Fernando Torres if Wayne Rooney left caused many Liverpool supporters to furrow their brows.
The manager, though, has clarified what he meant and reiterated that he wants to build a successful Liverpool team that includes, Torres, Reina, Gerrard and many more star talents.
“We want to promise the players we have got here that we are going to be up there fighting once again and we are absolutely not looking to sell any of our better players,” said Hodgson.
“But, equally, I would also be disappointed if teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and all the teams with money were not looking at our players.
“If I was Fernando Torres, I would expect every top club in Europe to be chasing me. That’s good as it means he’s doing his job. But we don’t need the money and we don’t want to sell.”

Shock. Hodgson refers to Sir Alex as "Ferguson"!!!!!

finally, is he starting to get it?!

Thats not strange, Reg's response was strange, someone bleeding to death from plucking a nose hair ! That is very disturbing !

ive been a fierce critic of Lucas and Maxi but they played really well last week and i would be very disappointed if we were to go back to the pre-Blackburn style of play.
its good to see Roy come out and dispel those rumors as well. first it was Arsenal, now Manure. big clubs naturally want Reina but they aren't willing to cough out 60million are they?

I liked his point that if the likes of the bitters were interested we would be fu'cked

and the saddest thing of all is that a bunch of adults (and rocky) have spent several pages of internet forum arguing and fighting and insulting each other over the content and meaning of this fukking quip.

Ill-advised or ill -thought both huge understatements ,I was led to believe the managers quips were of the ill tempered variety ie the already infamous rant to the Norwegian reporter ,not the tongue in cheek variety ....because as I have stated earlier those are few and far between where  Roy is involved
As for my rant earlier this morning I had necked a few JDs and felt I was entitled to it ....for that I make no apologies Lad ....
Like you have said we are all Adults here ,so its surely our prerogative to conduct a debate the way we see fit ....
and that's why I asked posters to look at the analogy I squeezed into my post (Sex Pistols ) people usually get  what they shout for ....... they lay out the bait and then wait for the catch ....... I have posted many times about the managers press conferences ,because its a cause for genuine concern
I have also posted in the match thread and given credit to his latest team selection ....in fact I think speaking from a personal point of view I would say I haven't been overly disrespectful ie name calling .... so you carry on your personal crusade for the sensible people I will continue to fly the flag for the heart on sleeve brigade ...... OK
