Xabi Alonso hands in transfer request

I had hoped that it would not go this far but reports this morning say that Xabi Alonso has handed in a written transfer request to Liverpool as he seeks to move to Real Madrid. This is it I guess! Rafa now has no choice but to sell Alonso as clearly the player does not want to play for us anymore. The question now is, “How...

Xabi Alonso is in Madrid

Reports today say that Xabi Alonso flew into Madrid last night as he seeks to complete his move to Real Madrid. It is said that Liverpool have given Madrid 48 hours to come up with the cash to complete the deal. “How much do we really want for Alonso?” no one seems to know. Madrid do not seem to want to pay much for...

All roads lead to Liverpool

All the people of Bangkok, it seemed, woke up on Wednesday, threw on their Liverpool jerseys, picked out their Liverpool scarves, and headed with a single-minded determination to the Rajamangala Stadium hours before Liverpool’s match with the Thai national team. I’m pretty sure if I had ventured out while the match was...

So much to do, so little time

The last time Glen Johnson got a taste of exactly the kind of fanaticism that awaits travelling football players in Bangkok, he was wearing distinctly different colours. The blue of Chelsea, to be precise. At Tuesday’s press conference in the ballroom of the Grand Erawan hotel, the Englishman was all smiles, all ready to...

By the end of pre-season training will we be suffering from a bad back?

We all know someone, friend family or foe who has hurt their back/damaged their spine and never been the same since. Well now we have that problem. If Gerrard is the heart of our team then Alonso and Mascherano are the spine that without BOTH of them we will surrender the middle of the pitch to everyone! Now hear me out, I feel...

Xabi Alonso wants to go to Real Madrid

Reports in the Liverpool Echo this morning suggest that Xabi Alonso has told Rafa Benitez that he wants to leave Liverpool and go to Real Madrid. This is the kind of news as a Liverpool fan I do not like to hear. For me Alonso was our player of the season last term and loosing him will be a huge blow to our ambitions for this...

Should we let Alonso go to Real Madrid?

I am getting increasing frustrated with all this talk about Alonso leaving us this summer. I do not want Alonso to leave as I think he is a critical part of our team. There are very few who are better at passing the ball in the game today than him. I can understand why he would want to leave, it is no secret that he had a fallout...

Can’t buy me love, or anything

At these times in the world of football, transfer rumours are flying quicker than the time it takes for Cristiano Ronaldo to go down after a feather touch, but amidst all the reported negotiations, Liverpool just sunk deeper into the money crunch mire. The club’s parent company lost 42.6 million pounds according to the most...

Alonso to quit Liverpool?

Reports doing the rounds this morning suggest that Xabi Alonso wants to quit Liverpool in the summer! I was shocked when I read this. For me personally, Alonso has been our best player this season. There has already been a lot of talk that we will sell him in the summer to Real Madrid so that we can finance the purchase of other...

Real Madrid to offer £100million for Gerrard and Alonso

Reports this weekend suggest that Real Madrid may be set to offer us £100million for Gerrard and Alonso in the summer. This comes off the news that Zinedine Zidane is going to become the sporting director at Real Madrid in the summer when Florentino Perez becomes president of Madrid again. Zidane said last week that he believes...
