Alonso Speaks...

[Craig_H]

he had 2yrs left when he was valued at 18million by villa.

And that what their 'scare people off' valuation. Not one they thought anyone would actually pay.

It worries me when there's people out there who genuinely seem to think Alonso isnt better than Barry.

So you work on what you perceive is being implied?

Good thing you're not a published writer

Have I missed your apology for this post?

Neil love, the stalking thing is really flattering, but it's been all day now. Have an hour off, Toots

Why did you 'toot' after writing that ? Are you in a car ?

You did pretty clearly imply that in fairness...

[Le Chef]

ballsed it up by wanting to essentially swap a player who had just had two average seasons with a player who had just had two very good ones.

Nonsense.

And further nonsense because it actually got the player performing again. If you improve an employees performance you usually get praised for man management.

And then we got 30 million for him when he wasn't worth 16 to Juve the season before..

He's a loss but Rafa doesn't do blind faith like you suggest he should have done.


And he's only a loss if his replacement proves a failure...

Spot on assessment

Everywhere i turn on here, you're there nipping away at my heels like a little terrier.

Go and bury a bone, and leave me in peace for five minutes.

I haven't posted anything else in response to you for days at least, maybe a week even, but there we go...

Erm...anyway, this thread has run its course, should really be deleted now...
