The issue is make Madrid pay.
They are bullies, LFC want to keep Alonso, he has another 3 yrs on his contract, he may want a move but he still respects LFC and the supporters and its the WC next year... Real need Alonso to make sense of their team- for which they've paid an awful lot of money, make them pay...
People, we may be sick of this nonsense but we hold the aces, we have the winning hand, thank heavens Rafa is in charge and not some of the soft sentimental supporters as we would have sold him already for 20 Euro... make them pay as much as possible... and if he stays I think he'll still perform for us...
