Xabi Alonso (Real "we can tap up anybody" Madrid)

If Rafa has managed to gain 30 million or more for Xabi I think that he deserves a lot of credit.

I think there's going to be a number of figures knocking about in the papers the next few days.

All credit if he has though. Be nice if it's around £25m plus a decent player but I'm sure there would have been an announcement regarding that.

Thanks for everything xabi. Personally wishing you good luck for the future.

Fine footballer and will always be greatful for his part in 05. All the same cant help but feel he f**ked us here big time and I have lost a lot of respect for him. Xabi I hope you regret this move for the rest of your days

good luck xabi glad ure finally gone now benitez can carry on looking for ure replacement hopefully martinez and silva would love it!

so this is it, finally.

i think ill miss you xabi, till i see you in that filthy white shirt that is. you've made your choice, now you'll have to suffer dossena scoring to your team.

you'll walk alone now, goodbye.

Great player for Liverpool, always looked to have plenty time of time on the ball, and used it very well. I don't like to see quality players leaving Anfield, but all the best Xabi, it's been a pleasure watching you. Good luck with Real M.

So long and thanks for all the goals

Woah! 100 pages!

On topic. Someone should spend some money on Liverpoolfc.tv.web site

Couldnt get on it for an hour tonight to look for the "official" release on Xabi.

Whose paying the lowest domestic rate for bandwith to PC World F.F.S.!!! Please keep the standing order up to date!

Shows what a joke our marketing is all about.......or not.



Well in Rafa. Good deal ma man!

Just goes to show how much interest is involved with this news, sounds like it crashed!

Personally for putting us all through this saga I hope perez's head falls off and lands in a steaming pile of sh*t.......... with a big F***ing nettle in it.

I'm sad to see xabi leave.I loved to watch his vision and his passing was sensational.to be honest I'm gutted but in rafa we trust. The only player I feel to fit in now and we all no he won't take time to settle in is david villa. Rafa do something quick. The season starts in less than two weeks and lets be honest we don't look up to speed against espanyol and I'm a bit nerveous. Real Madrid piss me off they've left it this late to agree the fee we said from the beggining. I hope they win F**k all and come to anfield for a repeat of last season.

Personally for putting us all through this saga I hope perez's head falls off and lands in a steaming pile of sh*t.......... with a big f**king nettle in it.

I hope they lose in the last 16 of the CL to Standard Leige!

Good luck Xabi. It's a shame you couldn't see the fact that LFC gave more to you than you ever could to us.

I come home now from being out all day and see the news, I'm over the moon that the whole thing is over, I just hope we've not been haggled down and that we can get spending soon and build the squad. Bye Xabs, it was good to have you but you've turned your back on us so we'll see how you do.

I am out of words..I was preparing myself for this but I just cant get over the shock that xabi knew how much we loved him he still went to those wankers. anyway good luck to you but I hope we get to meet you in CL and beat the shitt out of your new "team"

His medical is Tomorrow so I can only assume he has flown to Spain this evening ?

heartbroken any recommendations of what to do with the current home jersey with alonso 14 on it waste of money it seems  

Put it on a effergy, head to Alonso's home and proceed to set fire to it ? 

Thanks Xavi, without you last season, things would have been very different. It's a pity how he was handled last year, particulary over that liar Barry!

I think people need to remember the position a year ago, everyone was begging him to stay and he gave us his all. Ultimately, last summer led to the change.

Good luck!

Good Luck Xabi - shame you couldn't bring home no.19 with us, see you in the Champions League Final . . . .if you get there

How i'm gonna miss those 60yrd strikes

Thanks Xabi you will not find the love at Madrid as you are a basque but they probably know that already. We take 10 steps forward and then 5 backwards when we sell our best players to rival clubs. YNWA Xabi thanks for all those amazing passes and your goals from the half way line.

Pussy... I mean Real Madrid. We better get someone, like now!

Always hoped he would stay, it was obvious once he put in the request to leave he was on his way. There is part of me that wishes him well and another part that says the way you left us you have not done us any favours......

His medical is tomorrow so I guess he will be flying to Spain this evening possibly even gone ?

If he's quick he can get the same plane back to Spain!

Apparently we agreed to 30 mill euros for the sale according to the Spanish press. If that's true Rafa has failed in showing them that they can't walk all over him. Hopefully we got loads of add ons though.
