As soon as she knew Alonso might move, she changed her man in the signature.

We, the men who love Nanny know that for her Liverpool is first, us second.

Am I the only one who would rather have Sneijder, Negredo and Silva rather than Alonso?

Nope. I would take that too. I don't want to be seen to be disloyal to someone who is still by all counts a Liverpool player but it is obvious he doesn't really want to stay so I am just thinking for the good of the team.

That would be a massive improvement. Sneijder and Negredo would be fair in my books but we don't want Alonso so they will have to add more.

Rafa Benitez is right to get all Godfather with Real Madrid over Xabi Alonso By Brian Reade 25/07/2009

Real Madrid's sporting director Miguel Pardeza is livid.

He "cannot understand" why Liverpool are asking £35million or "more than we are willing to pay" for Xavi Alonso.

Well, it might just be that Alonso has years left on his contract. Or that Real have distorted transfer fees out of all proportion, are desperate to sign a top Spanish player and Pardeza himself admits there is no one else on the market with Alonso's playmaking skills.

But I'd like to think Rafa Benitez might deliver Senator Pat Geary's speech from Godfather II, when Michael Corleone asked why his family should have to pay more than they want to in a deal.

Because I intend to squeeze you. I don't like your kind of people. I don't like to see you come here with your oily hair, dressed up in those silk suits, trying to pass yourselves off as decent. I'll do business with you, but the fact is I despise your masquerade, the dishonest way you pose yourself and your whole freakin' family."

If so, he'll speak for everyone in football.

It sounds all good and well but the reality is Real will make up the money somehow. Xabis relationship with Rafa and the fans is probably more sour than last year. Not that he had a problem with the fans last year but if he stayed with us can you really see him signing a new contract next summer? I can't so he would probably be even more eager to look for the exit door then. Real will probably end up meeting the valuation somehow if not by cash only.

If he wants to go he can go..its his loss!
But it will have to be on our terms,no way should Rafa let them bas'tards rip us off.They inflated the market with their OTT signings when the window opened so if they think they are being ripped off the only have themselves to blame!
I hate the arrogant shower of kunts with a passsion.

Rafa needs to be careful though,if Alonso has his mind made up its inevitable he will leave..we cant really hold a player against his will,contracted or not!

Im just worried about the time factor....Alonso staying for now then those feckers coming in with a bid on the 11th hour and Rafa knowing he has to accept because the player does not wanna be here and their relationship will be nothing if he refuses to let him go!
Then we could be left short.....I guess thats the worst case scenario though!
I trust Rafa knows what he is at!

Yeah it will have to be on our terms, or close to it anyway. Rafa needs to make a decision when to accept it as surley if he plans to use that money to bring in someone else then we need to sell him quick. I am hoping that he has money to spend on someone big aside from the xabi money so that Real cannot drag it out thus making it harder on us.

Igor Zidane wrote:RAFA: XABI SHOULD STAY AT LIVERPOOL
Rafa Benitez today revealed he has told Xabi Alonso that he should stay at Liverpool.
Alonso received a rapturous ovation from the Singapore fans as he watched the Reds train on Friday night.

"I was talking to him yesterday and telling him to listen to the fans. They love Xabi," Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I said to him, 'Maybe you have to stay.'

"You can see he is a really good player and I'll be really pleased if he stays. All the players and his teammates want him to stay. If we keep Xabi I will be very pleased."

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N165185090725-0719.htm

I don't really understand this one Igor. If Rafa doesn't want to sell Alonso, all he has to do is say "ALONSO IS NOT FOR SALE" like he did with Torres and Masch.

All this I want him to stay and he should stay is boll0x, just say you won't sell him no matter what the offer and thats the end of the discussion surely?

by **tubby** » Sat Jul 25, 2009 7:49 pm

I think in all those previous times he had probably spoken privatley with Torres and Masch and just said look you want to stay right? Ok I am just going to stonewall them.

But with Xabi he isn't sure himself. Or maybe it is some cunning plan to force Real to cough up.

Rafa has become a real wind-up merchant. Whiskeynose better keep his head down next season.
