Anyway, I just hope that things get resolved fast so that we can buy substitutes fast. Alonso was an unknown before Rafa bought him. I'm sure Rafa can find gems like Alonso again.

Xabi Alonso will be quite difficult to replace.
Without him,Steven Gerrard may have to drop back to take more control of the midfield.

If Alonso leaves, he will be hard to replace as there will be no one orchestrating all the attacking moves.
Liverpool can't depend on Lucas as he isn't good enough.

Reports in Italy claim that midfielder Alberto Aquilani has been lined up as Alonso's replacement.
Cash-strapped Roma are willing to sell for around £15m

But the formal negotiations cannot take place until the Alonso deal is settled.

Guess we all have to wait till Mon then we will know whether Alonso is leaving for RM anot.

bochapsing · #**8946** 01-08-2009, 02:26 PM

din see or heard too much abt tis guy, alberto aquilani.. so really dunno how good or bad is he....
we've linked to javi martinez too... a spain u-21 player, very highly rated... look like quite an interesting player...
a player tat i want to include in alonso deal with madrid is mahamadou diarra.. he was a monster in lyon midfield, together with essien...

let's wait and see wat rafa can pull out of his hat...!!

sg cant do wat xabi can cos sg got no tactical disipline to stay jus in front the back 4,he will drag himself all over the pitch n pool will lose thier shape,if u ask me alonso did all the hard work in the middle of the park last season allowing our skipper to do wat he s gd at attacking,i guess the fans realise that. thats y the stay xabi campaign.if u remember the champs league final pool were completely out played in the 1st half till alonso n hamman took control in the 2nd half n pushed sg further forward.even capello uses sg on the right of midfield 4 england.thats y he s the best attacking midfielder now in europe.

Come on bros, Alonso has played a key role in the team but that is not to say we can't do without him!

Before Xabi there was Hamann, as hawksbay pointed out and was one of the best of Houllier's signings. Pool have had no shortage of worldclass midfielders in its history.

Rafa will find a replacement and/or find a new system to fit the players we have. One day, Stevie and Carra will be gone too.

One thing I agree, Stevie G has got to remain forward, we need his goals.

I'm more worried about what is going to get our opponents RED CARDED next season heheheh.

Liverpool FC close to selling Xabi Alonso as Real Madrid agree fee

Aug 3 2009 Liverpool Daily Post

XABI ALONSO’S departure from Liverpool is close to being sealed after Real Madrid agreed to meet Liverpool’s asking price.

The Spaniards have indicated they will go to a fee in the region of £30million to secure Alonso the move he has been craving all summer.

Anfield officials met with Real executive director-general José Ángel Sánchez yesterday and they stepped up their bid to finally bring an end to their pursuit of the playmaker.

Real capitalised on the fact that Liverpool were in Spain last night and held the talks in the team hotel in Barcelona prior to the 3-0 friendly defeat at the hands of Espanyol.

Although a deal was not struck, sufficient progress was made to convince Madrid that a final agreement is close.

Rafael Benitez has insisted all along that he will not accept a knockdown offer for the 27-year-old despite Alonso having indicated that he is ready to leave Anfield.

And the Liverpool manager’s patience appears to be paying off as Real finally got closer to the kind of bid he is looking for.

With Roma star Alberto Aquilani already lined up as Alonso’s successor Benitez will be keen for Real to put their money where their mouth has been and finally bring an end to the transfer saga.

The chances of that happening appear to have been boosted after reports in Spain suggested that the Bernabeu coffers will shortly be swollen to the tune of £18m due to the impending sale of Dutchman Wesley Sneijder to Inter Milan.

One of the main sticking points in Real’s pursuit of Alonso in recent weeks has been their insistence that they did not have the ready cash to meet Benitez’s demands following a spending spree that has seen them spend in excess of £165m on Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema.

Benitez has always remained adamant that this is not his nor Liverpool’s problem however and has continually made it clear that unless his value of Alonso is met then he will not be allowed to leave.

With the two parties now edging closer to an agreement and with a channel of communication now flowing freely again between Anfield and the Bernabeu it is looking increasingly likely that a deal will be struck in the coming days.

Benitez’s reluctance to give Alonso any more than a substitute’s appearance in the dying stages of last nights’s defeat at the hands of Espanyol was a telling sign of how close an agreement is with the Liverpool manager clearly unwilling to put the Spanish international at risk of the kind of injury that could place the deal in jeopardy.

Alonso’s presence was sorely missed, particularly in the second half as Liverpool struggled with their passing and allowed Espanyol to take full advantage.

Daniel Agger missed the game with a recurring back problem and was today due to undergo treatment at Melwood after Liverpool returned to Merseyside in the early hours of this morning.
