Re: Xabi Alonso will stay at Anfield, says Rafa Benitez
[quote author=MaschedUp link=topic=33578.msg873415#msg873415 date=1243123261]
The simple fact to this whole saga is that Rafa wants to raise extra funds he can sell a number of players including Riera and even Arbeloa. This leads me to think that it's a personal thing with Xabi.
I forgave Rafa for his treatment of Crouch, for his treatment of Babel and just about forgave him for his shambolic treatment of Keane. But if Xabi is sold, I will never forgive him.
Xabi is entering the prime of his career. It will be a catastrophic decision to get rid.
As for Lucas, he is not good enough. The Manc game was a one off. Yes it was a superb victory, but lets be honest, they were absolutely shambolic that day.
Thanks for all your welcomes by the way. 😉

i'm not having that, we were the only team to go there and beat them this season they weren't shambolic (they took the lead) and Lucas played his part in CM
we beat the champions of the world 4-1, their heaviest defeat of the season without this player who is so central in Alonso?!
as for selling a number of players, maybe he doesn't want to or they wont raise enough.
