I've been very upset, Robin. It's now turning to anger.

Did you actually not understand Robin's joke, Anita, or are you just ignoring it prudishly?

Seeing Xabi with that shower of shit just doesnt feel right. He's far too classy for Real.

I'm disappointed he's left but after the way he was treated last summer, you cant blame him.

that's it Anita, let it out
you are only getting there a little later than the majority of us

 

[737Max]

Please can we stop this "can't blame Xabi after the way he was treated last summer" bollocks.

He was poor the 2 seasons before and quite rightly needed a fucking kick up the arse to make him realise thatwe could dispence with his services.

Fair play to the lad, he worked his socks off last season. Maybe it had an effect on his relationship with Rafa, we probably won't know for a while.

Good luck to him at Madrid except when they play us

Hmmmm, well it's not Owen-in-a-United-shirt horrible, but it's still not eye-catching is it?

 

[HC]

How come Rafa came out on may the 18th and told everyone that Alonso has just told him how much he wants to stay, yet Alonso says he told Rafa he wants to leave in May?

By "how much" he probably meant "not very much".

 

[zlatan18]

Xabi left us at a time when we needed him most so i classify him as a cunt but thanks for the 30mil =] aquilani is amazing and a better attacking option than xabi just aslong as he can stay fit so fingers crossed..
it hurts seeing xabi in that madrid training kit =(

 

[Y1]

True that.

If he has given us another year and should we win number 19, he will one of our legends and will be given the best sent off from the Kop.

Xabi Alonso unveiled by Real Madrid and delighted to be there
• Liverpool midfielder is eighth summer signing at Bernabéu
• 'I was determined to leave Anfield, this is what I wished for'

guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 5 August 2009 23.01

Xabi Alonso was presented as a Real Madrid player tonight after signing a five-year contract at the Bernabéu. The Basque midfielder joins Madrid from Liverpool for £30m and was unveiled at the stadium this evening.

The 27-year-old Spain international arrived in the capital early after a fee was agreed between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Alonso then completed a medical and met his new team-mates for training in the afternoon.

The midfielder is Madrid's eighth summer signing, taking the club's spending to more than £220m in two months. The Madrid president, Florentino Pérez, has brought in Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Raúl Albiol, Esteban Granero, Alvaro Arbeloa, Alvaro Negredo and Karim Benzema as he attempts to build a team of galácticos capable of challenging Barcelona's treble winners.

"It's a very happy day for me," said Alonso. "It's an important step in my career to come to a club like Real Madrid. I'm very happy to be part of this club and I was very excited for this day to arrive. It's the best opportunity for me to develop as a footballer."

The transfer takes Alonso back to Spain after five years in England. The former Real Sociedad player admitted he had decided before the end of the season the time was right to move on. "I am very grateful to Liverpool fans, they were very warm during my five years," he said. "It will be really difficult to match their appreciation. I really enjoyed those five years. But a few months ago I took that decision as I thought it was the right moment to find a fresh challenge, to look for a new club. That's when Real Madrid came along. Luckily a deal has been done and I'm very happy.

"It is a personal challenge I felt is necessary for my football career. I felt it was right, so I looked for a change, for a new experience and, when Madrid came in, that's when I decided to come back to Spain."

The transfer was one of the most protracted deals of the summer but Alonso claims he always believed he would be at the Bernabéu before the start of the season. "I didn't have all the cards in my hand but I was confident. A while back I became determined to leave. The end result was what I wished for, here I am and I am very happy."

Reports suggest Alonso's relationship with the Liverpool manager, Rafael Benítez, disintegrated after he professed his desire to leave. However, Alonso says he has nothing but respect for his former manager.

"I have repeated over and over again that the relationship was a professional one, of mutual respect, a normal one between coach and player," he said. "I respect him and thank him for the opportunity he gave me.

"The goodbyes were quite brief, everything happened very quickly and I didn't have time to say goodbye properly. I want to return to say goodbye to my team-mates and Rafa. As everything was very quick I hardly had time so as soon as I can I will say goodbye as I should have done.

"I want to thank them for everything they gave me but now I am starting a new stage in my career. I'm very excited. Five years is a big deal in a club like Liverpool. I learnt a great deal, had a great experience, played in the Champions League every year and won one. I'm arriving at Madrid more mature and with more experience."

 

[mark1975]

Well said that man. Respect, once again.

This 'I'm going to completely reverse the actual meaning of the manager's comments to suit the imaginary puppet anti-christ version of the manager I've created in my brain' really is so tiresome. Alonso reflects on how close we are to winning the league, with all the glory that will bring, and decides, quite innocently, he wants a new challenge, and then, by an amazing coincidence, a new big money regime at Madrid come knocking soon after? Oh yes, happy to accept THAT. But not what the manager actually said. No, no, that's silly. :🙂

[/quote]Xabi's a manipulative little shitbag (not that Rafa cant shenanigan with the best of them when it suits him) and the only suprise is that so many normally rational and thoughtful people are buying what he's shovelling.

At the very least he's put to bed the most annoying myth that his nose was so bent out of joint last year that he felt he had no choice but to leave. Poor little put upon Xabi.
