Alonso injury not as serious as first thought

It comes as a huge relief to know that the injury Xabi Alonso picked up on the weekend against Preston is not as serious as first thought. Initially I had feared the worst when I saw the Spaniard hobble off the pitch at half time in that match, I thought it could be a recurrence of his broken foot. But all is well now as Alonso...

Do not sell Alonso

January is just around the corner and that means the transfer window will be open again. I expect there to be quite a bit of activity during that time. Not so much at Liverpool but with other teams in the Premiership. But it is not going to surprise me when we get bombarded with a lot of bids for Xabi Alonso. With the form Alonso...

Alonso’s form

Praise must go to Alonso for scoring the winner on Sunday against Chelsea. It may have been a deflection but Xabi has rightfully claimed the goal as his shot was goal-bound. Xabi was very unlucky not to get a second as his brilliant freekick came off the foot of the post. Here we have a player who was on the verge of leaving...

Alonso too slow according to Ranieri

Are these a bit of sour grapes from the Juventus coach? Ranieri has come out and said that the reason he did not sign Alonso in the summer was because Alonso was too slow to play in the Juventus midfield. He goes on to say that at Juventus the likes of Mauro Camoranesi and Pavel Nedved do not track back to support the midfield like...

Alonso and Keane bag international goals

Well we had a large group of meaningless international fixtures today clogging up the middle of the week for us today. Of note, Xabi Alonso scored twice as Spain beat Denmark 3-0. Agger was present in the opposing line up, and Fernando Torres picked up an assist on one of the goals. Everyone’s most anxiously awaited goal...

Gerrard injury forces Alonso to stay

The transfer drama at Liverpool this summer looks set to continue and take a new twist. I think this is going to make a good show one day! Now Steven Gerrard picked up a knock in last nights win over Valerenga and he was substituted off in the first half. Reports today suggest that Gerrard will not be fit for the first leg of the...

Liverpool 4 – Valerenga 1

Just a few quick notes about today’s friendly: 1. Robbie Keane showed the kind of vision we are expecting out of him with his backwards flick onto Alonso for his beautiful curling opener. I think perhaps Xabi is quite eager to show he belongs at Liverpool and only good could come of that. 2. David Ngog, who is this guy? ...

Xabi Alonso to Arsenal?

Reports this morning are suggesting that Arsene Wenger would be interested in signing Xabi Alonso but only if Liverpool lower the £18m valuation to £10.5m. Now I have two issues about this, firstly, why should Liverpool lower the valuation of Alonso to £10.5m? That is daylight robbery! Alonso is not worth £10.5m, he is much...

Xabi Alonso to Fenerbache?

One of the longest transfer sagas of the summer is set to take a new twist. It is suggested today in The Mirror that Turkish side, Fenerbache have made a bid for Xabi Alonso. A bid of £12m is said to have been made and I think Rafa is going to accept this deal and use the money to get Gareth Barry. It look likes all that may be...

Reds after striker….

Not David Villa, nor even Robbie Keane, it seems that LFC has found another attacking option they fancy in David Ngog, 19-year-old French striker. He’ll be coming over from PSG, and apparently all of our scouts are incredibly high on him, to the point that we seem to be putting about £1.5 million into the deal. It’s...
