Totally agree with all of the above sentiments. Barry is not fit to lace Xavi's boots as good as Barry is he is, he is no Alonso and never will be, Barry will run all day and work hard but ask him to do what Xavi does and their is only one winner for me. In saying that, you can never second Guess Benitez, there seemed to be cracks appearing in his relationship with Alonso, have they fully been covered I dont know. I hope for Liverpool's sake they Keep Alonso, but It would not surprise me in the slightest to see Barry coming in. prob next summer cant see it happening in the winter window, and jus maybe Xavi making way, plus Barry is versatile so maybe u could play him on the left, I do think Barry is a good player, and a good addition for the reds if we can get him, but not at the expense of Alonso.
