Almost every bellend wanted us to sign Quaresma! Every single summer we were 'linked' with him.
Wow. That's like a religious type argument.
'Well, there might be no evidence at all that there IS a god, but there's no evidence that there ISN'T either. Evolution? Nah, doesn't exist'
I don't think it's beside the point. You presented some fucking loony as a respectable source in your opening post. I'd say it's entirely relevant.
I'd love Xabi back, but I if that's what you want to debate, I don't think prefixing the question with the ramblings of an internet desperado really helps things.
Ballague said there wasnt an agreement in place. Quite the difference betweem an offer and a an agreement no?
You assume he's a loon based on Trollcos post though, which proves my point.
Heh, so there isnt a difference between an offer and an agreement in place? This thread did not turn out the way I planned.
Loved xabi but he's not what we need right now. Can you seriously see xabi being about to run and press like how we did against spurs? Xabi's time has gone, thanks for the amazing memories but I don't want him back. Pirlo can play for as long as he has because Serie A is a lot slower league and he has runners all round him doing his work for him.
I think you replied to the wrong post there.
Was the stuff Ross quoted not him then?
I assume it would work like that here?
I don't remember Lucas doing much pressing against spurs.
Xabi would be sitting back mopping up with the front 4/5 and fullbacks/wingbacks pressing.
Would be great to have him back.... preferably in January
We can do this all day and I cant be bothered. If people dont believe him fine. I've read my share of his tweets these last two years that I think he's reliable. In the end thats all I care about.
I see.
I'm optimistic by nature mate
Although extremely pessimistic before our games - which usually ends well... 😉
Do we really need to go through the same shit every time Hansern posts something from Twitter?
The thread largely serves as a prompt to debate the content of the rumour rather than the likelihood of it being true. If some people want to believe it, let them. What's the problem?
If this forum was overflowing with discussion topics and the so called nonsense from Twitter was cluttering things up it'd be one thing, but it's not.

I have no issue with Twitter being used to generate discussion. It's the fibbing about the reliability of the rumours that irks me.
But I'm largely in agreement with Fabs. Hansern is a good sort - he just lets emotion cloud his judgement. I guess he's not alone there.

Spanish media Cadena SER claiming that Real Madrid are resigned to losing Alonso who wants to leave due to personal reasons (change of scenery for family).

Real Madrid have confirmed midfielder Xabi Alonso suffered a perforated left eardrum during Sunday's game against Valencia.
Alonso was elbowed by Frenchman Jeremy Mathieu in the 58th minute of the game at the Mestalla Stadium, which Real won 3-2.
The 32-year-old alerted club doctors when the pain did not ease following the conclusion of the match and he returned to Madrid by car, rather than taking the plane with his team-mates.
"After undergoing medical tests, it has been found that Xabi Alonso has a perforated left eardrum as a result of a blow received in the match against Valencia," said the club's medical report which was released online.
Perforated eardrums often heal without treatment within two months but in more severe cases surgery can be required.
The club gave no indication on Alonso's outlook beyond the fact it depended on the player's progress over Christmas.
Sunday's victory was Real's final game before the festive break with their next outing being a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain on January 2 in Doha before taking on Celta Vigo in La Liga four days later.

[article=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2528404/THE-TRANSFER-COLUMN-Liverpool-eye-Rakitic-possible-Premier-League-return-Alonso.html#ixzz2oRgBt7Ew ]Xabi Alonso is expected to turn down a new contract offer from Real Madrid this week and open negotiations over a move abroad.
Alonso, who perforated an eardrum during yesterday's 3-2 win over Valencia, has interest from Chelsea and Juventus notably.
Both Manchester clubs have been sounded out but have reservations about his age with the Basque-born midfielder turning 33 next November.
He is reputedly seeking around £8million in signing-on fees and subsequently is expected to see out his contract at Madrid rather than move in January.
Carlo Ancelotti said last week that he hoped Alonso's popularity among the fans would convince him to stay, but reports over the weekend claimed that Alonso had already made up his mind to leave for 'personal reasons,' with El Confidencial claiming the 32-year-old is refusing to take president Florentino Perez’s calls.[/article]

If he's really looking for that much in signing-on fees, we won't be signing him ...
Not sure why he'd leave Madrid for Turin. The football as well as the lifestyle is better in Madrid - though he wouldn't have to suffer pricks like Ronaldo anymore so perhaps where the lifestyle improvement comes from.
If it is all about the family then perhaps he will be going to the MLS. Terrible waste if true.
