Pepe Reina said, "I signed a six-year contract seven months ago and I'm happy at the club, but every footballer wants to be competing for trophies and winning things," 

Reina is quoted in the this morning's Daily Mail saying, . "I will stay at Liverpool at least until the end of the season.

"I know there are rumours about me leaving, but I want to make it clear that I have no intention of going back to Spain."

He also added how influential former manager Rafa Benitez was in Reina signing with Liverpool, he said,  

"Rafael Benitez was an essential person for this club and the reason I came to Liverpool,"

Steven Gerrard looking for quick success

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is looking for a quick route in bringing trophies back to Anfield as he enters the last leg of his glittering career, Gerrard at 30, believes he can continue at the top level of football at least four more seasons. but after recent failures in winning any trophies, Gerrard is looking to the new American owners to invest quickly so they can seriously challenge for honours.

Speaking to the News of the World, Gerrard said, "I think the Americans have got the right ideas to build a platform for this club for many years to come but, of course, when I speak to them, I'm going to be wanting a quick fix. I've got four or five years left at this level and I want to win trophies before I finish, because that's what I go to work for."

He added: "This club will be here for many years so I think the right thing is to build for the future, bring young talent in, sort the scouting system out from top to bottom and, in my opinion, merge the Academy and Melwood, where the first team train."
