Xabi Alonso today ruled himself out of tomorrows pre-season fixture with a ‘minor injury’. Further signs that the Spanish midfielder is getting closer to a move to Madrid in order to further add to the nine tmes European champions spending spree.
It has been rumoured that the midfielder, who signed for the reds in 2004, has wanted away from the Merseyside club since Real Madrid came knocking. Since early June speculation over Alonso transfer fee has dominated the back pages of British and Spanish newspapers, with the latest figure quoted being in the region of £24 million.
Earlier this week Benitez had made a public plea to both Alonso and Argentine captain Javier Mascherano to stay at Anfield, whilst Mascherano has began talks to extend his contract it seems recently married Alonso is still certain he wants a move back to his home country.
oh not verry gd news this looks like wants to go doin this anight berfore a match with the team he spoues likes playing for well if it nt a bad injury looks like he really wants to go cause hes been like ronaldo was at man u so let him go we miss him bt no point having a player at out club who dosnet wana be there an wants to fake injurys a night of a game he might of played in not verry gd news for lpool fans an fans thats go every game like me if he wants to leave let him we will get good money an bring in some players with the money off him he will be a big loss a key player like him bt cant stand players like him been at our club an dosent wana be there if maybe rafa let him go an bring in more gd players instead
Look if he doesnt want to play for Liverpool fc then he should go, but for 35m not 24m. this is a bad move for you Alonso, but good luck and thanks for your time, YNWA
Alonso… good luck man…
But this is unwise…. anyway I hope rafa get Sneijder in this deal… that’ll be fine
He can see very well that they don’t value him (35 Mill), compared to how much they spent on both Kaka and Ronaldo, he is the best passing midfielder. He should know very well he won’t be the player he is when he is at Anfield. We need him to stay, but if he insists, then the show must go on.
