KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Alonso MUST STAY !!!!

have any of you noticed that Xabi does not appear on any of the adverts, mobile zone or the Club store on the offal website anymore - I noticed it last week whereas before he was on virtually every page!

if that's not a statement of fact I don't know what is... as much as I hope he has a change of heart, he's out of here.

Not going to happen Reddy. He's gone by weeks end mate. Hopefully we have a good replacement lined up. They have ahd enough time to organise it.

Yeah I can't see it either and the more I think of the possibility of a class replacement and a reshuffle, it makes for quite an exciting season.

Maybe this forced change will make us into a more direct and attacking outfit - and why not with Monster protecting a strong back 4? What was it Shankly said "I don't bother with the opposition's selection, I let them worry about us"

the point that you missed has left you with a middle parting as it flew right over your head again...

Alonso, you want to join madrid, then be my guest and pack you bags and leave, you can follow the example of michael owen if you like. Liverpool football club wants players that have a desire to succeed with the club, should your heart be with Real Madrid, please pack up. This club has lost owen, and found a torres, after rush, we had fowler. No player cannt be replaced.

Adios Amigo. Just make it quik. we need to plan for next season.

Best of luck

If Rafa hadn't tried to sell Alonso to Juventus or whoever, last year, he might still have a relationship with him and this problem might not have arisen. Frankly, if you need to blame anyone, it's Rafa. As to the proposed replacement, another poster here or on another forum made a very good point regarding his injury record. It's alot of money that's being considered for a guy so injury prone. I'd prefer someone with experience of the PL - like Catermole, than the current favourite.

TBH I can't see us doing anything this season, anyway, beacuse we don't have the financial resources to compete with Chelsea and Man City. Until a richer owner takes charge we are always going to be looking at second class replacements. I don't see anyone else in for Aquilana or whatever his name is and that kind of tells its own story.

If we could lure (afford?) the At Madrid pair things might look rather different but, as it is, I think we just have to hope that we get in the top four and that something happens off the pitch in the meantime.Last year was our best chance and we couldn't put away the lower sides. Man U were a little lucky but then we allowed them to be. I look at our squad and apart from SG, JC and Torres I don't see a single player that would be a certain starter in the Chelsea or Arsenal team. I'm sure all of this has been said by a host of others and am posting in the hope that somebody will offer some contrary views that might persuade towards a more positive view.

Expect a tough season and don't be surprised if we lose to Spurs

If Perez wants to stick to principles then Alonso stays. Stop being negative! It's like being surrounded by a bunch of Evertonians. Do you remember 14 March 2009, Old Trafford, 4-1? Midfield from left to right was Riera, Mascherano, Lucas & Kuyt, with Torres & Gerrard up front. How you can be negative after that performance with a midfield like that!

Alonso gone.....now bring on scneijder and ribery!


Well I can dream can't I?

Thankfully this saga has ended and now we can move on!!!

Goodbye Xabigate!!!!!
