KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Marca - REAL MADRID PULL OUT FROM ALONSO DEAL

The exorbitant prices demanded by the Liverpool Xabi Alonso (47 million euros) has activated the 'Plan B' from Real Madrid to strengthen the position of mediocentro

The daily MARCA anticipates that the name that stands out above all is that of Daniele de Rossi, a player who has always been on the agenda of the club de Concha Espina, and that Real Madrid has already taken a first step

Negotiations have already begun with the Roma and De Rossi would be willing to take over from Fabio Cannavaro in the Madrid.

hardly exorbitant - xabi is worth it ......... as for de rossi he is a poor substitute for alonso - he has no concentration and his head drops too easily (remember when the scum thrashed roma and he was nowhere to be seen) .... he has plenty of quality but doesn't have the mental attributes to make the most of those qualities

just hope if Xabi does stay he doesn't have the hump all season...

Rafa's playing this nicely i think, R.Madrid have done too well out of Liverpool in the past. Revenge is sweet, Alonso is ours so long as (If) he wants to stay :-)

only thing to worry is that he doesnt wish to stay here anymore for whatever reason. presumably we will let him go finally once there is a mutual consent between the two clubs and that means liverpool lowering the asking price.wud love alonso to stay and be one of those lifting the trophy.

Becoming yet another long boring weary summer 'Barry' style, will he won't he, saga all this crap.

yep - roll on the 15th Aug!

Good news for us Perth, thanks for the update. Has Xabi reported for pre season yet?

The spanish players have been given a few extra days holiday.
We shouldn't drop the fee for Alonso as he is spansih and Real need spanish players and he is a regular in the spanish team.
Real have forced fees of players to go up due to them alraedy paying over the odds for players they really want.

my understanding is he is due next week at melwood, it is a good news, but i think he has his heart set out to play for real next season, if rafa wants him, he can convince him to stay....

i believe next week will be a big week for us, interms of alonso and masch... and for players comin in....

as far as i know, silva is comin, and we might get a few players in alonso deal...

my only worry is masch, as i wouldnt want him to leave, and i believe rafa might just convince him.......
