We need more dynamism in the central areas - Look at Paulinho and Fernandinho. they are both fast, strong, good ball retentions skills, tackle, track back and score goals.

we cant have Alonso, Gerrard and Lucas in there against any team.

but for 3 million and the influence he will offer - i say it is a low risk signing

Alonso scores goals too, as does Stevie.

PB, we need a 2004/2005 Stevie G or one that is 75%/80% of that Stevie G or a Yaya Toure.

Alonso wont be at his 2009 level and goals has not been a cornerstone of his career. he was known for other things. Stevie was the one that scored the goals when they played together.

Shelvey will score more goals than SG this season and we got rid of him for pennies, just about all our current midfielders will score more than Alonso.

He's not needed, would be further money down the drain, will be stunting the growth of the younger players and will be yet another foreign player ahead of te British players in our squad.

People are kidding themselves if they think he will be a bit part player. We would have a midfield of Lucas, Alonso, Gerrard, Coutinho and Aspas. That would get slaughtered.

Average British player....Allen

Or

A quality experienced foreign player...xabi

In the starting 11....

Only one winner and it ain't the British player

lucas,alonso,gerrard,suarez,coutinho & sturridge

now ur talking

Why single out Joe Allen, who I think is a [oops] player anyway.

Henderson or Alonso.....Henderson.

People are forgetting that it's not the same Alonso and he was always 50/50 anyway. People just like to look at the past with rose tinted glasses.

People are also forgetting that this is the same Alonso who is probably the first name on the team sheet at RM. I think that proves he still has the goods. Even a fading Alonso is better than most other options we have. Also, saying Hendo ahead of Alonso is strange because they play two completely different roles in the team. You cannot say Hendo is better than Alonso (because it would be incredibly inaccurate), because on is a dm and the other a cm or am.
