Xabi Alonso - breaking news

[smither]

so maybe we're signing alonso's best mate? doesn't he play for wrexham or someone?

[dww]

Should shut the retards up that were on about him being expendable.

5 years is a sign of great commitment from these players

I would rather it shut up the people who were claiming he wanted to leave as he hadn't said anything in the press - I mean who the **** would want to do an interview to say that. And those who whinged about Parry's lack of speed getting contracts signed.

There are faults in both Parry's record and Alonsos recent performances. Discussion of the way that the organisation of the business or team might progress is fine but these constant vendettas and people running people down on the slightest of evidence is quite boring.

XABI

Spanish star Xabi Alonso has become the latest Liverpool player to pen a new long-term contract.

The midfield schemer has followed fellow countryman Jose Reina, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher in signing a new deal.

"schemer"

People saying he can leave cos we've got Mascherano are mad.They forget he's only on loan and who know's if we'll be able to afford him when the time comes so why sell one of the best midfielders in Europe when his replacement isn't even ours.

Thank God

Just a rough estimate, no need to bitch me out if you think it's off by a few mil, but this is approx what it would cost any other club to buy what we have already locked up for minimum the next 4-5 years.

To me, that is a core that is not going anywhere and any other team in the world would kill to have.

Add in one or two world class strikers and look out. This pleases me very much.

"Alonso ended speculation about his future yesterday, amid serious interest from Barcelona in the Spain midfield player, by agreeing a five-year contract worth about £24 million."

5 year deal for 24m - what does that come to a week?
