Pepe has nothing to explain. He has never said he would stay if the club was in the wrong hands, he has admitted there have been sad times in the past. But why would he have to deny quotes? He could well have said those things, but he also may have said more that was left out of the interview? Surely he deserves the benefit of the doubt that he is still here, he signed a five year contract and he is saying only good things abou the club, the manager, the owners?
Ive seen players ripped apart on here, told to fuck off, hope to get injured etc and one player who on the pitch has always been impeccable......
Oh never mind. Haterz gon hate.
I still *heart* Pepe.
And i dont believe he ever wanted to leave.

Finally Pepe gets it. Owners are gone, Hodgson is gone. FSG get managerial choice right and it's now heading for areturn to former glories. Took him a while you know, because he wasn't a Liverpool man in the 70's and 80's and doesn't know about the King.
PS: he's more loyal than most foreign players. That I will give him.(But he did make those dodgy comments). Waves Flag!
[/quote]Lets just (for the sake of argument) say that he made this comment:
'I could never say never....BUT it would be something i would hope never to do, if liverpool were to decide they didnt want me or for some reason i had to leave and only Manchester wanted me and offered me the chance to play champions league then with heavy heart i would go there, same with real madrid, but if you ask me, i would say i am happy here and have a contract for five years and i hope to stay beyond that'
And then the press trimmed it to make a story? Is that not feasable?
Of course it is, because thats what the press do. ALL THE TIME. Thats their MO.
Im not saying that is what happened, im just saying Pepe deserves the benefit of the doubt. He isnt being given it.
In our worst summer ever he signed a FIVE year deal, when his bessie fucked off he did nothing, he has never handed in a transfer request or said he wants to leave. He may have said that he expects us to honour commitments made to him, and maybe we are now doing that. All we hear from pepe is positive.
I dunno, i seriously think that the Alonso, Mascherano and Torres things (maybe gerrard too) have made us WANT to be distrustful and expect the worst? One little nugget of negativity and its all 'Oh what a suprise......what a cunt........did you see him not smile when we scored.......'
If the man hands in a transfer request than the love ends for me, but other than that i
not taking a half arsed red top campaign as any statement of intent.
Pepe stays.
