Juve Give Up On Alonso

[JPK]

Alonso is being linked with Arsenal now. I would hate to see him go there.

I thin Benitez has screwed around with Barry too long. This could screw chances on getting some decent players in. Second hand picks for another year anyone?

Hope Xabi stays and we get Keane and a winger. Think we'll be well set for a title assault then. Barry makes very little difference IMo

I think Barry WILL make a difference, but that it will be incremental vs. the potential upside of someone in the 3 that can add as many assists and goals as SG.

I would be happy with either Barry or Xabi next year. I'm ok with that because I think that Lucas will really push on this year and he has already shown that his attacking game is far superior to Xabi's or Barry's.

The way he linked up with Benni and Pacheco last week was really encouraging, he has vision that we haven't really seen before.

Lucas is class, we will see more of that this year. Rafa had him playing a more holding role last year, it appears it was a learning phase for Lucas, just in the same way Babel was used out on the left, because Rafa wanted him to learn more about playing football
