      Bye Xabi. As soon as I saw this in the General Football Forum I knew it was all over.

      Thanks for how you served the club and you'll be etched in our folklore as one of our best midfielders.

      Good luck to you there.

      Right, I am relieved that this has come to an end. But also gutted that one of our prized assets is leaving us. You wanted to leave and we'll respect that.

      Now announce Aquilani signing please.

      Bye Alonso, thanks for your pen and letting us get the 5th.

      You will be missed.

      But when we play you in the CL this season, prepare for a spanking

      Bye Xabi although its not the end of the world, it does rather feel like a kick in the balls, finding a replacement with the same range of passing isn't going to be easy.

      On another note there is also a few decent songs that need rewriting ???

      We've got the best midfield in the world! Lucas Leiva, Steven Gerrard, Cattermole and Mascheranoooo!!

      Just hope he has left without acrimony and that he thanks the fans for their support which was always there for him.He seems a genuine guy but who is going to get oppostion players sent off now he has gone.

      werent they a Welsh stoner metal band who were about during the 1990s,

      Sorry about that getting back on topic, he does seem a genuine guy and I wish him all the best for the future, we just need to sign someone with two wooden legs for the opposition to kick and get themselves red carded, it was quite unbeliveable how many red cards were given for tackles on Alonso last season.

      Goodbye Xabi farewell, your class is evident for all too see, IMO Madrid got a steal considering you have got your best years ahead of you for the next 4-5 seasons.

      What the F**k was Perez thinking trying to haggle for you.

      That was the same for me. :( We're gonna miss him, not just as a player but as a character and a part of our club, something he doesn't seem to have understood in his haste to get away.

      Alonso passes Real medical
      Midfielder on brink of finalising move from Liverpool

      A fee was agreed between the two clubs on Tuesday evening, with Real expected to pay in the region of £30million for the former Real Sociedad man.

      Real have spent much of the summer trying to conclude a deal for Alonso, who outlined his desire to leave Anfield last month by handing in a transfer request.

      He is now close to finalising his move to the Santiago Bernabeu after passing a medical and holding talks over personal terms.


      Alonso is expected to become Real's final signing of a hectic summer which has seen the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema arrive in the Spanish capital.

      The club will now focus on selling players on the fringes of Manuel Pellegrini's team, with Klaas Jan Huntelaar expected to lead the departures.

      So I guess that's it.  It's good bye to Xabi Alonso.  It's actually sunk in and I'm quite speechless.  :(

      Know the feeling.

      Onwards and upwards, as they say. It's all downhill after Liverpool.

      On SSN there was footage of him lying on the medical table with his thumb up.  I think he'll do well at Madrid, but if he doesn't or has an average season, & for some reason Real consider selling him, I'd be all for bringing him back.

      After all, Rush came back after one season at Juventus.  It's happened before.
