Xabi Alonso

[Catrin]

We need the new Alonso really, and the new Mascherano, whoever they may be.

To be fair Alosno and Mascherano could still form one of the best midfields in the world, definitely in our league.

True, but not for long and we've already got one ageing superstar.

Alonso & Lucas in the middle would be seriously lack mobility. Alonso is brilliant but needs a quick work horse beside him.

I'm all for getting Alonso in but only if we get someone in who's quick and powerful alongside him. Him & Lucas together? Slowest Midfield ever.

Was watching La Liga Revisita the other day and Ballague stated that Xabi is unsure of his future at this time but it definitely wouldn't be a return to Liverpool.

it's like selling your soul

. . . . . . Said Fernando when asked.

We don't need Xabi. We need a player with high energy to compensate either Lucas or Gerrard. He's an upgrade on what we have, but we'd still have the same issues.

[cream]

Agree with that.

Xabi is definitely not what we need, signing him would be a sideways move. We need someone bigger and more powerful

[cream]

Nothing wrong with Gerrard pinging the ball about as long as we got players around him doing the dirty work.
