I won't stop untill someone bites....
He'd be a quality option alongside someone younger like e.g.. Aquilani or Sneijder.
Has always been choosed ahead of Alonso at Int. level and albeit not at his youngest anymore he'd be a quality replacement - and he'd probably even come rather cheap should we be interested.
[/quote]
Didn't they slap a £20m price tag on him last summer? As much as I like him, he's not an Alonso replacement and he's too old.
[/quote]
That would of course leave him well out of the picture.
He's 'only' six years older than Xabi though and it seems that he's peaking in a old age after all. Had his debute for Spain in 2006 - as a 30-year-old - and he kept Alonso benched back then.
You may be right of course as he's a tad bit old but it is possible to win the Premiership with 'older' players just ask veterans Giggs or Scholes. Would he adjust quickly he'd be a real steal at the right prize.
Senna shouldn't be the only replacement but more as an option. Both as Masher's back-up and as for Alonso's position in behind Gerrard.
[/quote]
Haha, only six years!
[/quote]
'only'
Anywas you'll find that Senna is still faster than Alonso despite him beeing 33-years-old and as such it is irrelevant.
[/quote]
You don't think it's relevant that he may wish to hang up his boots in a couple of years? Come on, khl.
He's too old. Great player, too late in his career to be adapting to a new club in new league, particularly at the price we'd have to pay. It's a non-starter.
[/quote]
I think it's relevant of course but I would've thought the prize would differ accordingly between the two?
E.g.
Alonso = £30M
Senna = £8M
There's still a few good years in him so at the right prize he'd be a great buy as a stopgap signing untill someone younger (e.g. Aqui) would be ready to take the wheel.
[/quote]
There are many quality players out there who would be excellent buys at 'the right price'. The simple fact is, that price is nothing more than an idealistic figure. It has no foundation in reality.

Aquilani is no spring chicken - isn't he like 25 now?
[/quote]
25 is still young enough Keni.
No one wants us to sign someone with little or no experience.
We need a guy who has experience and can slot straight in.

Oncy has been singing his praise for quite some time now and I've just seen him on YouTube.
He's thrice the player Alonso is.

I think Oncy may have changed his mind somewhat about Aquilaini, if thats who you are talking about
[/quote]
Oncy's always twisting and turning but I'm sure deep down he still loves him.
[/quote]I havnt changed my mind about HIM. Hes epic.

[/quote]My point was that if were only signing ONE player it may not be wise to go for one who cant play on August 15th.
If for example we get Silva too, then fine Aquilani can get fit whilst Gerrard fills in. But if this is it, our big signing then i'll be pissed off that hes injured and we'd be starting the new season weaker.
Make no mistake i love Aquilani ive been carping on about him for fucking years. Id be over the moon if we get them. Heart over head.

I won't believe for one minute that we're only lining up one player for the Alonso-money.

Got a Twitter from the Kop Magazine saying Auilani's at Melwood having his medical now.
[/quote]
That medical should be the longest and most thourough ever.
[/quote]
I'm sure if he is signed, there will be a clause in the contract about certain number of matches he has to play for a significant sum of the overall fee to be paid to Roma.

If Poulsen's coming then it confirms the Lucas back to Brazil rumours.
I'm guessing Rafa doesn't gave complete faith in Lucas filling in for a long term Acquilani injury.
