David Silva will hopefully come if Alonso departs.

Id take 22 million plus Sneijder anyday & get Silva & id be more then happy

One question though Rafa said we had money for one more big buy without selling so im guessing we had atleast 15 mill add to that the 22 mill wed supposedly get for alonso & the 5 for arbeloa, call it 45 mill with other sales of youngsters

45 mill + sales of Dossena? babel? would it really be impossible to put in a bid for Aguero?

i know this is all speculation but what do others think?

If we had £45m+ Rafa would never spend it all on 1 player.

It's a bit like when Alonso's form hadn't dipped by even 1% and then he came out last season and played out of his skin, looking like a completely different player. Lines in the sand were swiftly rubbed out and re-drawn as reality replaced fantasy. Now we have no chance of winning the league next season if Xabi is sold, none whatsoever. If we sold Gerrard or Torres I might go along with that, but top player though he is, selling Xabi isn't as much of a body blow.

As for Xabi's mates statements to Sabes about his relationship with Rafa, I wouldn't blame either man for that. They've been at Liverpool together for five seasons, and as I've said before anyone can get on anyones nerves over that period of time, it's just one of them things. In that time period, Xabi has got married and had kids, so whether or not he realises it he will have changed a huge amount as a person, both in his maturity and his outlook. He might well look back in ten years time and conclude that the breakup was actually more of his doing than Rafa's, but no matter these things happen.

The key obviously is what we do to replace him. I've seen the Scott Parker rumours, but feel sure that he is more in the mould of the "one out of four" midfielders than he is a direct replacement. As it is, if Xabi goes then we only have two credible midfielders unless we move Gerrard back, so we do need more cover there anyway.

Ultimately though, the most telling thing which has come out of the last couple of weeks is that for the manager, Alonso "didn't feature in his plans". Obviously we can only guess why that actually is, but mine would be that he wants a midfielder who gets forward more effectively, scores more goals and makes more goals. I haven't off the top of my head got any stand out suggestions for who is that player, but it seems fairly obvious that this is the way the manager sees things developing.

As for Xabi, i wish him all the best. He's been a wonderful professional, and in his last season showed just what a top player he has become.

Wake me up when you do, eh?

are see if you had "How its made" on you could have seen that most of the time they never have the real shirts on, they use a green or blue shirt and then the rest is done with software when the real shirts are ready, its all very clever.

So I suppose he wasn't really wearing a real kit on that 12th man advert either where he was practicing free kicks?

El capitán es uno de los que mejor conoce la delicada situación que está pasando Xabi Alonso. Es consciente de que la temporada pasada se le puso en el mercado -el precio era de 20 millones de euros- y se tuvo que quedar. Ahora tiene la oportunidad de fichar por el Real Madrid. Gerrard está de acuerdo con la venta del centrocampista español.

Gerrard, como capitán, podría estar en el cara a cara que tiene previsto tener Xabi Alonso con el entrenador del Liverpool, Rafa Benítez. Esta previsto que el centrocampista se incorpore a la pretemporada del Liverpool este domingo junto a Álvaro Arbeloa, otro de los objetivos merengues.

En Inglaterra dan por hecho el fichaje para la próxima semana
El diario 'The Times' desvela que la próxima semana Xabi Alonso se convertirá en jugador del Real Madrid. por unos 35 millones de euros.

Es más 'The Times' asegura que Xabi Alonso no viajará junto al resto de sus compañeros del Liverpool a la gira por Asia.

Otra opción que se maneja en el traspaso de Xabi Alonso al Real Madrid es la entrada de Wesley Sneijder en la operación a pesar de que Manuel Pellegrini cuenta con el centrocampista holandés.

put it this way if Xabi is not on the plane tomorrow when we leave for the far east , thats it, he said himself he wanted his future sorting out by 19th

To see Gerrard Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid

"I do not think to follow us," Gerrard has confessed to the concentration of lands Swiss • Is the person who advises • And Rafa Benitez believes that it is good to have a player despondent and demotivated

MARK posted on the newspaper's edition on Saturday that the captain of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso does not see on the computer network next season. "I think that follow us," he confessed to the English player to a journalist of faith in Switzerland.

In the signing Ulises Sanchez-Flor ensures that Gerrard is clear that Xabi Alonso will end up playing at Real Madrid. The relationship between Gerrard and Xabi Alonso is very good. The captain is one of the best known of the delicate situation that is going on Xabi Alonso. Is aware that last season he was in the market, the price was 20 million euros and had to be. You now have the opportunity to sign for Real Madrid. Gerrard is in agreement with the sale of the Spanish midfielder.

Gerrard, as captain, could be in the face to face which is scheduled to have Xabi Alonso Liverpool coach, Rafa Benitez. It is envisaged that the midfielder joins the Liverpool's pre-season this Sunday with Alvaro Arbeloa, another objective Merengues.

Take for granted in England for the signing next week
The newspaper 'The Times reveals that next week will be Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid player. by about 35 million.

Indeed 'The Times' says that Xabi Alonso will not travel with the rest of his fellow Liverpool to tour Asia.

Another option that handles the transfer of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid is the entrance of Wesley Sneijder in the operation despite the fact that Manuel Pellegrini has the Dutch midfielder.

Gerrard is in agreement with the sale of the Spanish midfielder? Is that a weird translation?

I'm sad he won't see on the computer network next season
