Please don't do this to me Sunny.
I still think the problem isn't completely Agger and Skrtel's and more a lack of leadership/protection/composure from the defensive midfield position. Hence why I think Chabby will make a huge difference.
Refusing to pay £12m for Alonso would be one of the maddest things the world has ever seen.
I may be a bit naive but is it really mad to return to a place you were most happy at?
I say £12m(even though the figure was just taken from thin air) would be a steal of the century. He can still play 5 years at the top level.
Woland is right though. Better not get your hopes up too much.
Oh god.

Anfield de vuelta? Liverpool following Xabi Alonso contract row 9 Mar 2013 12:02
Four years after leaving Merseyside, the Real Madrid midfielder is being monitored by his former club
Somebody save me: Alonso is reportedly keen for a Premier League return
Angel Martinez
Xabi Alonso could be set for a Liverpool return according to reports in Spain.
The midfielder left the Reds in 2009 after a successful spell at Anfield, but the five-year deal that he signed at the Bernabeu expires in 2014 and although Madrid have been in discussions with his agent Iñaki Ibañez since November, there is no agreement in sight.
According to Spanish daily AS, the Bernabeu club would like to extend Alonso's contract until 2016, but the midfielder is reportedly keen to see how things lie at the end of the season, re-evaluating his future with potentially a new manager in place.
On Wednesday, Spanish radio station Onda Cero claimed that the World Cup winner, 31, had in fact set his heart on a Premier League return, and that his representatives had held talks in Manchester last week over a possible move back to England - with finances a secondary concern.
Yet any deal will be obstructed by Real Madrid's reluctance to sell a player that they still see as a key part of their plans.

I'm not pissing about mate. I wouldn't do such a thing where Xabi is concerned. Sorry Woland
That actually makes me believe there might be truth in these rumours.
I'd like to see a list of Ballbag's predictions next to the actual outcome. He makes Alex Jones look like a soothsayer.
What was the last thing ballbag called correctly?
That would be the epitome of bittersweet.
After a copious alcohol intake, I've decided to assume his representatives met with Liverpools representatives in Manchester because all the flights to The John Lennon were booked. Otherwise I can see myself waking at 3am screaming 'Xavi!!! Keep away from hose MANCHESTEDR CUNTS', thus giving the wife the perfect excuse to use her new stun-gun.
He loves us, if he does return to the prem there would only be one destination
There's no point in a Xabi Alonso Youtube complication. His talents cannot be expressed in 3 minutes of highlights. It doesn't showcase how he demanded a brilliant first touch off anyone he passed it to, because he played it to their strongest foot regardless of whether it was a four yard pass or a forty yard pass; It does't highlight his tireless defensive running which went too often unnoticed during his time here, nor his extreme ability not only to play an amazing pass, but the *right* pass. Nor his ability to step up his performances whenever Gerrard was absent from the side: Xabi became our leader on the pitch.
Brendan summed Xabi Alonso up best when he said Xabi Alonso is a Rolls Royce of a footballer. He's absolutely brilliant.

I thought that was Ryan, talking about Joe Allen.
There's a hell of lot of players described as Rolls-Royce players. I gave up calling them that years ago. But Xabi would enrich this squad so greatly I just hope FSG show sense, or listen to their 'secret advisor' Rush, and get him.
It would be exactly the kind of thing we would do though
