Brilliant!
Good move for Keiran Westwood maybe?
Doubt it very much, He’ll be warming the bench for a new keeper from Serie A, or else playing for a midtable championship club next season.
Pepe hasn’t been at his best in the last few seasons. Some serious competition coming in will really make him earn his place between the sticks. I feel bad for Brad Jones but very happy with the move overall.
I’d say reina will go.
Apparently he’s on 110k a week. Can’t see rogers spending 9 million on a keeper to be on the bench and reina’s wages are too high for him to be a sub either
Reina won’t be there.
Google pics of brad jones’ missus and you won feel so bad trust me
Cheerio Pepe
Cant imagine Kopites copying another team’s chant word for word, they’re a bit stuffy about that sort of thing.
The reason pepe has been bad because he has had no competition the last few years and knew that his place in the team was safe wheater he leaves or not is up to him but he should stay and win back the hearts of the fans
