What fun is that for us? Will only lead to more speculation regarding the terms. Maybe this is designed to allow us to be cheap in our upcoming purchases. We can say that Real paid us nothing up front for Xabi.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

and we're buying Poulsen, Aqualani, Valbuena, Defour, Cattermole and Silva with the money.

I hope we still have enough money left over for Villa, Ribery and... errr... Distin.

Although i wanted this sorted out i must admit to feeling more than a little sick when they announced in on sky. A small part of me thought it'd never happen.

Or both if we sell Lucas as well. Could be a pretty decent summer if we sign both of them

Any summer where Lucas leaves the club must be considered good.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

Even thought it was fairly inevitable for quite some time, Xabi's departure still makes me sad.

Me too man, I'll be gutted to see him leave.
I fear he will be just as important a signing for Real as all the others.
Watching Real vs Barca duke it out next year looks like it will be immense.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

we wanted 30 million pounds, not euros.

at least we should be seeing a couple of class signings come in, now.

how much is 30 million euros? ( in pounds )
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

The writing was on the wall... still it is tough to see it confirmed.

Come on Rafa... you need to sort his replacement out and quick like.

And fuck off Xabi... I'm sure I'll be able to wish you well for all you've done at some point... but right now I hope you fall on your fucking face and the club you're moving to implodes.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

been great player 4 us. wish him well..
obviously no more goals from our own half 😉, but does his parting really dent out title hopes?

We have no idea if that is really the fee though, do we? Let's just see what players we manage to get before the end of August.

I think it's 30m euro with some incentives to take it to 30m pounds, so about 33-35m euro total is my guess.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

I was never hugely bothered about the fee.

The sad fact is a wonderfully gifted footballer is leaving us, who would be hugely difficult to replace however much we received for him.

All we can do now is put faith our faith in Rafael Benitez.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

Obviously in my heart of hearts I knew it was coming, but I still can't help but feel so gutted. He is a wonderful player and has been a model professional for us, despite what some might say. I'm sad about the way things panned out, I wish we hadn't tried to sell him last summer, and more than that I wish he hadn't wanted to go this summer.

Truly gutted. I feel sad now, but I'm sure I'll just be pissed off and wanna punch him when I see him all smiles in a Madrid shirt.

I've never felt so gutted about losing a player. I love Xabi, I love the way he plays the game, I love the way he can ping point a ball in exact spots from one end of the pitch to the other, I love the way he sees balls that are on that others don't, I love the way he keeps a midfield ticking. I'm only gutted it will no longer be our midfield.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will PROBABLY NOT stay at Anfield, says Herr Onceared

What I want to know is.... how's this thread gonna end?
Oooh the anticipation, imagine if he comes back in January.
