The incredible Xabi Alonso thread 2009.

Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

We should just accept the 24m from those kind Madristas. I mean, at this rate, with them lowering their offer, we're gonna end up having to sell to for 6m. :🙂

a cunning plan by real to bid LESS to get their man.

The fuckers obviously think there's some truth to the rumours that Xabi wants out, so they think they can assume the regular position of Liverpool being over a barrel whilst they fuck us over.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

Ronaldo has wanted to leave Utd for two years. And if that petulant, self-centred twat can manage to play klike a professional, whether he got his move or not, then I'm sure Alonso can manage it.

Don't those fuckers realise it is up to them to make us an offer we can't refuse?
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

Funny you should mention that.

I was just thinking that the lowering of the offer reminded me of 'The Godfather'.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

I did not think that any club could rival Arsenal for sheer arrogance but Real's behaviour does seem to indicate they can more than rival Arsenal.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

which part of 'alonso has a three year contract' do real not understand?

Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

I presume Liverpool FC are in the process of reporting Real Madrid to FIFA/UEFA or whoever for all the talking they're doing about player. Its a fucking joke.

Actually over £6.5M - hope you're not an accountant!

€50M = £43.37M

NB. The oft mentioned figure that the rags reckon it will take (€35M) is a wee bit above £30M
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

No great surprise but Tony Barrett is now reporting that Xabi has told Benitez he wants to join Madrid.

Xabi Alonso: I want to quit Liverpool FC for Real Madrid

Jul 13 2009 by Tony Barrett


XABI ALONSO has told Rafa Benitez he wants to quit Anfield and sign for Real Madrid – but Liverpool will not grant his wish unless the Spanish giants come up with a fee in the region of £35m.

Alonso has stopped short of putting in an official written transfer request but he has made it clear to Benitez that his future lies in La Liga rather than the Premier League.

The 27-year-old is due to join up with his Liverpool team mates on Sunday after being given extended leave following his involvement in the Confederations Cup in South Africa but Alonso and his agent Inaki Ibanez are hopeful that a deal can be thrashed out with Real before then.

But with Real reluctant to spend more than £27m for the Spanish international and Benitez adamant that he will not allow Alonso to leave for that kind of figure, a compromise is some way off.

Alonso could try to force the issue by handing in an official transfer request but the midfielder believes that he deserves to be able to have his future sorted out without taking such formal measures after giving five years of service to the Reds. Real’s public pursuit of Alonso is now becoming incessant with recently appointed manager Manuel Pellegrini becoming the latest leading Bernabeu official to speak of his club’s desire to snap up the Liverpool man.

Pellegrini said: “He’s an important player as he has shown with the Spanish team.

“It’s no mystery that Real Madrid are interested in his services, but it will not be easy.â€

Benitez is fully aware that Alonso’s desire to leave Liverpool will make it increasingly difficult to hold on to the former Real Sociedad man despite the fact that he still has three years of his Anfield contract remaining.

But the Reds boss is adamant that he will not let Alonso go on the cheap, no matter how much pressure Real put Liverpool under.

Benitez knows there are precious few midfielders around of Alonso’s quality and he is likely to have to re-shape his side if the Spanish international leaves - and that would inevitably be an expensive process.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

Alonso is probably my favourite Liverpool player. It will be so odd to see him with Madrid next season if he goes.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

if and when alonso does leave I hope that he doesn't try to make out he left because he was poorly treated the year before last.

If he does it'll just me him look like a bit of a soft lad won't it. I also don't believe it's true, so I can't see it.

Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

Our title changes are pretty much gone if Xabi goes. There are no players who are Xabi's level or even close to him available at the moment. Everyone has seen how poor our playmaking is when Alonso does not play.

Correct.
 
Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez

and thus it becomes clear why real madrid have lowered their bid.
for once I'd like us not to get fucked by those wankers.
