KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum liverpool should sell alonso!!

Yeah thats right i admit he should go, first of all if he dosnt want to play for us then ill personally drive him to the airport myself!

also

we SHOULDNT use the money to buy cattermole or other centre midfielders, it should be used on someone to turn those draws that cost us the title last year into wins. Aqualini shounds like a good signing attacking midfielder put gerrard back into centre. Or david silva would also be a good signing.
If of basically when we sell alonso am pretty sure the americians wont give us 100% of the fee received to be spent on transfers with the debt there in its highly unlikly!

This is my first topic and would just like to say Glenn Johnson is a brilliant signing and torres will benefit off his attacking qualitys and crosses.

I totally disagree. Alonso is the reason we came so close last season. Easily the midfielder of the season. I don't think you can hold it against him for wanting to leave. He was nearly forced out before, and Madrid is the club of his dreams.

Silva is overrated IMO. Good but not that good. Also with Gerrard and Torres working so well together it would be a waste to put him back in the centre. really hope we keep him. Just my two cents.

aquilani wil replace alonso imo

I agree he was the reason we came close last season and yes you can't Blame him for wanting to leave but for the good of the motivation in the dressing room and on the pitch he should be sold if he's handed in a written transfer request! It already seems to be a distraction as a senior player jamie carragher has already spoke out ! Alonso is one if my favourite players best passer of the ball probabley in the world at the moment! But if we do get 30 mil that's 15 mil more than we tried to get last season and if he dosnt wanna play it's better we get as much as we can! Aqualini would be a good replacement and your right gerrard and torres partnership should not be broken up as it's key to our premership challenge next season!

If alonso goes, thats IF.

As long as we get a replacement who is equal to him then hopefully we can still maintain a title challenge. Alonso was excellent and our best player last season. Really sad if we see him go, but we move on.

You never know what Rafa will do now. Buy a replacement? Change the system and put gerrard back into the center with Rafa spending money on a striker?

Some good points but I don't think Aqualini is the player Alonso is. I think we need to strengthen or side not weaken it. I can appreciate your point about the written request but I think Rafa slyly forced that on him with the ultimatum. I think Rafa wants to sell him but not seem as the bad guy to the fans. He's getting frustrated at the lack of pace of the whole thing and wants the money. Surely if he wanted to keep Alonso he wouldn't have given him an ultimatum. Sure way to agitate him.

I reckon he's as important as Torres and Gerrard. Another thing to bear in mind is that it's working. It might not with another player even if he is top class. Not a good idea to disrupt a winning formula. Big loss methinks, but only time will tell.

We need to have the financial power to compete in the market. Up to now apart Johnson no decent signing. ribery would be great but yet again we cant afford.What about the takeover? i hoped it will happen but heard that deal been re financed!!

Up to now apart johnson no signing. What are we waiting for? will there b takeover , we need financial muscle to compete otherwize forget title number 19

With the Americans success in refinancing their Liverpool loan, I think we can forget about a buyout. We are stuck with them throughout the recession as they will want to sell high and no one will want to buy. As such, it`s going to a disappointing transfer season for us... again!

Alonso had two good seasons with us - his first and his last. He will be difficult to replace but not impossible.
