I've watched Shay play for Ireland for his entire career, and he was at one stage one of the best keepers around but sadly he's just not got it anymore. He was a disaster at the Euro's, although he was injured and shoud never have played, and he has never recovered his form.
To be honest I'd rather we played Brad Jones then Shay, as much as I love Shay he's no longer the keeper he was and he is not good enough to be a number 1 for a top half PL side.
As an Irish man I agree Shay was very good; but that's the point - WAS very good.
Past his best I'm afraid.
Disappointed with him when he played for us, He never leaves his line! Good bloke tho but Liverpool should be looking for better
Reina to given?
What's next Suarez to Carroll?
If he's not good enough for Villa why would he be good enough for us Amir
Reina I know didn't have the best of times last season. But, for me he is still one of the best keepers and by far one of the most underrated keepers to have played in the PL. When you look at that great team under Rafa, who was the best player? Reina. A shame if he leaves. But I presume you will get bags of money for him and not let him go that cheap (If he leaves)?
Am only making a suggestion, Kash. Relax yourself. Who would you go for then, big man?
Relax yourself?
Init bruv, mes be like rude boy! <gangster>
It's barcelona,the're known for shafting people either it be selling or buying.
Players get all sulky and accuse you of holding them prisoner if you don't let them leave even for the going rate,see mascherano and plenty of other spanish orientationed players over the last decade.
Amir there is a thread below about keepers but i think many here agree that Asmir Begovic is an ideal replacement.
Anyway how about Carroll and Downing for Benteke?

In that article it says he'll stay if a deal can't be done with Barca. I'd like to keep Reina but its Barca and if he wants away then fine but it should be more than £8m!
"Anyway how about Carroll and Downing for Benteke?"
No Fackin chance! I'm so glad we took the money for Downing and ran. But, if Benteke does leave (which he won't) it will be for a club playing CL football. Dortmund or Arsenal are the most likely destinations.
I don't think it's a Given that Barca want Reina.
Good man Agger, that's a keeper
You and i both know it's practically done kls.
They need a goalie,reina is probably weary and has learnt of how torres handled his transfer and the backlash he got after giving it loads about staying to fight,so won't make the same mistake.
Xabi alonso wanted out,but handled it in a way reina will be in keeping with.
Arbeloa was the same,when the big two come calling,very few pass on it whatever team there at,even if it ruins their careers in the long run.
I agree with you mate but to let him go for just £8m when he's got 3 years left on his deal, isn't right. We got £30m for Xabi!
You should let him go for at least 14mil. Anything, under 10 and you have not got your worth for a great player.
I know what ya saying kls,but the fact is,our selling on policy of players in general has been absolutely shocking,with the exception of torres and xabi,(money we wasted on aquilani and carroll) i can't think of many others that we've made a very good profit on.
Mascherano was bought for £17m for example,and all we got back was what we paid even though he was one,if not the best DM's in the world at the time,and under a few years contract,but because it's barca or real madrid,foreign players in england usually force the clubs hand.
If he's not good enough for Villa why would he be good enough for us Amir

you sound deluded. do you honestly believe you have better players in every position to aston villa... I would take villas goalkeepers over liverpools anyday. besides you are not even a champions league team. you haven't been for years and wont be for the foreseeable future.. shay given is more than decent enough to play for Liverpool even if he cant get a game at small club villa. its only cause guzan has been one of the best keepers in the league that he didn't get a game
