Hodgson Dismisses Torres-Reina Rumours

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson has branded yesterday's transfer exit rumours as "sad". Goalkeeper Jose Reina is the latest to be linked with a move away while star striker Fernando Torres' future is a regular subject of conjecture. "It is sad these stories surface," said Hodgson. "There is no truth in them, they have no meaning. "Reina and Torres are excellent trainers and their commitment to the club is as good as ever. There is no question they are anything other than committed. "It is destructive but it depends on how you deal with it. "It is fantastic so many people want to write nonsense about us because it must mean we are still a big club. "The trick is to get on with the job, be happy and let the birds sing."
