I don't see why not, fella has been playing non stop top class football with madrid and spain for years. suddenly he isn't a weekly option for a team that southampton made mince meat of.
alonso would be world class every week. totally change our mentality and that off the opposition we play. can't see southhampton pushing so high on us when alonso can knock a ball over the top like he can. As crazy as it seems,I find myself agreeing with Emp.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

If you look at the best premier league teams you'll notice very few have young british prospects playing for them as starters, bar Arsenal... Key term you seem to have missed - over the years. look at the best Premier League squads in the past and they all have a solid British core. I am, looking over the past 10 years basically... before that I agree, but that's because there were quality British youngsters around at that time, now there are very very few. You can thank the FA for that.

Xabi Alonso isn't the answer, as brilliant as he is. Steven Gerrard is basically an Alonso that can tackle and posses slightly more pace. Take a look at the following video, Gerrard offers everything Alonso does these days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM_3GVXbD9YWhat we need now is a box to box, creative, attacking midfielder, a Gerrard of yesteryear if you like.

We desperately need a midfield general. And Xabi is the best there is, even though he is getting towards the end of his career. He still has a few food seasons left in him, so I hope he comes back to Liverpool.

Xabi is a great deep-lying playmaker, but I don't think that's what we need. We need a young gerrard or yaya toure type player.

Alonso is exceptional at reading the play, passing, controlling the ball, shielding and turning on the ball, turning defence into attack, directing traffic, scoring the occasional stunner. these qualities are currently bereft in our team, and he would be an exceptional influence on younger players.
We need his quality.

And why, pray tell, should you care where I'm from? It's not even like you're local or anything. You're from Australia. This xenophobic crap needs to stop.
