If Alonso was gonna go or even looked like he might go SURELY we would have moved for Barry, surely? That is what gives me hope that this isn't gonna transpire. It would (in my eyes) be utter lunacy to let Alonso go having not taken the opportunity to pursue our biggest transfer target of last year just a few days ago when he was available at £6 million cheaper.
Like him or not, Barry was a ready made replacement for Alonso. Similar and different but he would have come in and done a similar job. If Alonso goes we really have missed a trick here.
