Xabi Alonso?!

[Scottoffee]

Yes, he's a Red, but seriously, if they're going to sign Barry and Keane, he'll be behind Barry, Gerrard, Mascherano and possibly Lucas for central midfield in their line-up...

Reckon he'd be brilliant playing just behind Arteta, Cahill, Osman & Pienaar, his passing both short and long is subliminal, adds some height, another option from set-pieces and knows all about Premiership football (unlike everyone else we've been linked to)

Already lives nearby and apparently grew up on the same street as Arteta as well...

 

[edge]

would deffo have him but to expensive

That would piss the GOBSHITES off big time,and kiss the badge with 2 large fingers at the kop

If he didn't cost us an arm and a leg.

Maybe Arteta can tap him up for us.

Nickname BARRY

 

[keverton]

funny but me and my dad was only discussing this idea this morning then see a thread. I think would be a fab signing, 15million i think would be the fee, think its a good signing however cant see it

 

[teppic]

really good player.

although him and cahill might be a bit tasty in training!

 

[TX Bill]

...concluding with another broken metatarsal for Cahill.

Never mind then.

No Alonso.

 

[Scottoffee]

I've read between 14-16m for the deal that fell through to Juventus.

To get Barry and Keane, they'll need to spend 36m+ (18m each apparently). Surely they've got 20m in the kitty, so a 16m or so offer for Alonso should be enough to persuade them if they really want both of their targets.

 

[Drings]

No way Rafael would sell to us aswell, there biggest rivals

The fat waiter would not have the bottle to sell him to us, but if the cowboys over ruled him I would love it if only for the two gobshites Isee everytime I go to costco with his name on their tops fifty odd year old men in footy tops its soo sad how old is Reidy

 

[Sharpys top lip]

Why on earth would we want a r/s cast off!! Id take moutinho or arshavin or johnson (city) any day over him.

He's flatted to decive ever since he went to the [Poor language removed]. An never lives up to his reputation.

So a big NO THANKS.

 

[Neiler]

He showed a lot of early promise but didnt turn into the player i thought he would i dont thinh he could lace Artetas boots!

 

[teppic]

what pre season was it he played at goodison?

it was the same when marcus bent had just signed for us.

anyhoo.. a player who moyes could make in to a better player than benitez ever could any day of the week and twice on sundays.

 

[modfather]

Would take him in a heartbeat. Classy midfielder and one of the best passers in the Premiership.
