So we're going to have to put up with that pile of c*ap again this season? Is Rodgers an idiot?

I am not a fan but there are limits

I wouldn't go as far as calling Mingolet a pile of cr@p but I do have reservations about some aspects of his goalkeeping (especially his kicking and ability to deal with crosses).

OK...so this new season is already a write off then? Some "fans" seems to think so

bye Pepe 

one of our leading players in recent times and still nothing on the official site about this - the whole thing has been handled badly

Liverpool have confirmed Pepe Reina has completed a transfer to Bayern Munich.

The goalkeeper has signed a permanent deal with the German club, bringing his eight-year spell at Anfield to an end.

Reina moved to Merseyside from Villarreal in the summer of 2005 and made an immediate impact, helping the Reds achieve a club record 11 successive clean sheets in all competitions.

Indeed, his maiden season would end in glory as Liverpool defeated West Ham United on penalties in the FA Cup final in Cardiff, with the Spaniard saving three of the Hammers' four spot kicks in the shoot-out.

In April 2007, Reina's shut-out against Blackburn Rovers meant he'd kept 28 clean sheets in his first 50 league games - setting another club record.

His penalty-saving prowess was evident once again one month later as he helped the Reds edge out Chelsea in a dramatic Champions League semi-final victory at Anfield.

In 2008, Reina claimed the Barclays Golden Glove award for a third successive campaign, while in 2009-10 he was voted as Liverpool's Player of the Season by supporters.

The 31-year-old added one further accolade to his collection, picking up a winners' medal as the Reds beat Cardiff City in the Carling Cup final in February 2012.

In total, Reina made 394 appearances for the club before spending the 2013-14 season on loan at Italian side Napoli.

Everyone at Liverpool FC would like to wish Pepe all the best for the future.

Shame it ended this way. Thanks for most of the memories Pepe. Enjoy the bench at BM 

That's an impressive amount of appearances that Pepe racked up there, he's played more games for this club than the likes of Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Steve Mcmanaman, Kevin Keegan, Graeme Souness, Ray Kennedy, Alan Kennedy, Terry McDermott, Jimmy Case, Steve McMahon, Mark Lawrenson, John Toshack and Davey Fairclough.

Good luck to Pepe, he was a good servant to the club. Shame it had to end in a bad way though.

Notice no goalies in that list, they tend to be much more durable

Since 1892 only 3 keepers have made more appearances for us than Reina - Clemence, Grobellaar and Elisha Scott.
Pepe played more games than the likes of Tommy Lawrence, David James, Cyril Sidlow and Sam Hardy etc
Don't forget to play the amount of games Pepe did you'd have to play on average 50 games a season for 8 straight seasons which takes a bit of doing even for a keeper.
