Barca hold Alonso liking

[Kaip]

If £18m gets you Carrick, who can only aspire to be the player Alonso is, his financial value must be around or above the £20m mark (not that I'd sell him mind).

if £5 million gets you salif diao, alonso is worth at least £6 million

[matycowling1007]

Im still racking my brains as to why Rafa wanted Mascherano ? hes identical to alonso and its not as if alonso is injury prone or anything. can u realy see one or two of alonso, masch, gerrard or sissoko sat on the bench next season ?

[greglt]

In his first season I thought that xabi was phenomonal, I even got his name printed on my shirt and considered him one of the best players in the premiership. This season, PERSONALLY, I have felt that although at times he has been phenomonal, he has also not had the same impact as he did last season. I would not sell him at the moment BUT depending on how Mascherano goes, I would probably consider selling him for £25m nothing less. Cannot see him leaving and I believe priority number one for Rafa is getting an extension to his contract.

I'd sell for anything over 15m.

That implies that you'd take Carrick or Hargreaves over Alonso.... Are you sure?

You're turning into a bit of a stalker, aren't you ?

Maybe 15m is too slim a price, certainly anything near 20m and I would consider selling.

I like Xabi, but I do think he's overated and would be better off in Spain where the style of play suits his game much better.

Besides, we cant keep Momo, Masher, Stevie and Alonso happy. One will be sold.

I think that alot of clubs would be interested in Xabi and it wouldn't surprise me to see a bid made but I think that he will still be here next season. It would be nice if we could see him sign his contract quite soon to stop the speculation though.

If Salif Diao is worth £5m....

Alonso's Basque isn't he? He wouldn't go to Barcelona anyway..... or is that Real Madrid?!

Madrid! His Dad played at Barcelona didn't he?

I realised as I was typing

Barcelona could conceivably attract him, but I suspect it would need a huge offer for Rafa to accept.
