Xabi Alonso - Fee Agreed (Official)

[Assassin]

Gutted about this.

Craig

He wanted out mate, end of story

[JohnDoe]

Or vice versa.

I don't believe for one second that we were the ones who lowered the price.

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

good luck son.

au revoir

we will grow stronger

[Reece]

Not really the time for jokes fredo.

No one's died mate

[Guest]

Ballague knows his ****.

And a well known syndrome.

[Tee]

I would rather we got Defour than Aquilani tbh.

We won't spend big money on two central midfielders.

Poulsen's coming for cover.

[Guest]

Poulsen's not coming FFS.

[DannyMan2006]

Poulsen being heavily linked.

I could see Lucas following Alonso out.

Poulsen and Aquilani coming in. Poulsen first choice whilst Aquilani adjusts and gets match fit. Wouldn't suprise me.

Cheers for that Fredo, I was waiting for someone in the know to advise accordingly

Craig

I know, but he also said he wouldnt force it through. We should've just stuck to our guns, agreed to let him go next year, and left it at that.

I don't believe for one second that we were the ones who lowered the price.

Of course you dont, i knew that. Doesnt negate it as a possibility though.

Where did you see he was 'heavily' linked? All I've seen was a dubious report.

[Guest]

Always look on the bright side Craig.

[Pablo]

Oh well bigger players have come and gone, we'll be fine. Still gutted though

I know that ****-head

I'm really gutted though. The mancs are much weaker, Arsenal are weaker, Chelsea have a new manager - it was looking great for us.

Now we've lost a very good RB, as well as the man who makes us play.

****'s sake.
