Xabi Alonso

[frank the tank]

or get Lawro back in defense..... he could talk ****e to the forward off the ball and bore them to sleep......

[RedReet]

Sami is better than all our CB put together in the air and none of our CB are giving us anything extra with regards to pace, power or defending high up the pitch.

Christ, I was hoping I picked you up wrong.

[Shackanory]

All the rags trying to link Xabi to Chelsea. Jesus christ.

[Chazza]

Oooohhhh I could crush a grape!!

[-V-]

That makes no sense. Mourinho is surely next for Chelsea and Xabi and him are not particularly close. Plenty of times this season where Xabi has been benched by him

Oh, you haven't seen it then. Look at this beaut from the Independent.

The 31-year-old has become one of Mourinho's biggest allies at the Bernabeu

[Boogs]

With all due respect how are you aware they are not bosom friends?

Chelsea makes perfect sense to me, a big salary (more than we could offer) for the last 3 years of his playing career. I thought he looked a yard behind the pace against Dortmund and he doesn't really fit FSG's recruitment structure going by the players they have purchased thus far.

It's been widely reported that they were allies at Madrid.
To be honest, after he screwed us, if he went to Chelsea that would be it for me.

[Phoenix07]

You'd never have thought that four years after our title challenging season, our three main Spaniards that year could potentially have represented Chelsea; Rafa, Alonso, Torres.

[Alex]

We got the best years out of them though

Did he?

His status would be finished for me as well if he went to Chelsea, but I still have faith in him and think he would come back if the terms could be agreed.

Some of you lot are such a bunch of Jilted Johns. I can't believe people can upset over this.

It is man doing his job, going to another employer. Like we all do in our own lives.

Its not that straightforward though is it. We would not all be her efor a start would we? Have a little think about that Dom.

Well it is for me.

Life is too short to get all angry about Torres or Xabi playing for Chelsea. It is for me anyway.

Cool for you mate, wish I could feel the same but I can't.
