Xabi Alonso

[Irishnev]

I was toying with the idea of Aurelio myself, even went to edit it and put him in. Agger was great just made of glass.

Agger & Aurelio manning the left, the sound of glass shattering!

Still think he will be back one day as manager

So do I.

It feels like destiny....and maybe he will get a chance to go on that open top bus parade in the city...

After Klopp, it has to be Xabi.

[Liverpool]

at the si hughes book launch tonight I cant help but think Alonso/Carra will be a Houllier/Thomo combo at some point

cool as ****.

As always

[Maxiedge]

What a player and still dominating the CL with his displays.

His humbleness, class and loyalty exemplifies exactly the sort of player we want at the club but is so hard to find

[Buzzo]

He won the lot didn't he

World Cup, European Championship, Champions League twice, La Liga, Copa Del Rey, Bundesliga, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, German FA Cup, German League Cup, Spanish Supercup...

and the Charity Shield.

Phenomenal career.

What he player he's been, not blessed with pace but my god could he pick and pass and a footballing brain that has to be up there with some of the very best.

[McDermotX]

Slowed us down, didn't score enough, liked the odd pass etc etc..

Well, that was the general impression of his time with us from the usual pundits.
As soon as he was gone, he was one of the best midfielders in the game.

Funny that.

Are you saying we need to keep Can then?

[Roboklopp]

Bye Xabi. Shame we couldn't organise a final season, even under Klopp he'd be ideal to bring on when we wanted to manage a game out.
