Xabi Alonso hardly a regular at Liverpool? Are you sure there isn't another club called Liverpool too? And how can Richards and Lescott be better than Xabi when they play in DIFFERENT positions. That's like saying Buffon is miles better than Xabi although they play in different positions.
About Cigarini: He is talented, but Xabi Alonso is miles ahead of him when it comes to quality.
David Bentley, Arteta, Cahill ?! Are you serious about that.
Zanetti is not better than Xabi, and Nedved and Camoranesi are wingers while Xabi Alonso is a CM. Next time try to pick up better players to compare with Xabi Alonso.
Ps. Can you pass me some of the weed you've been smoking?
I was purely comparing price tags if you had read the article I stated that "yes" they were not midfield players.
I am not saying Xabi is not good so dont get defensive but he is not worth 17 mil pounds you cannot justify it.
I know alot of Liverpool fans that were laughing at this talk.
Cigarini would be half the price of Xabi that was my quote I would rather develop a young player while playing the like of Marchiso etc:
Nedved HAS and CAN play in the middle and I was comparing him when he HAS played in the middle and this is exactly the same story for CAMO who even played their for Italy so you CAN and I WILL compare them.
Arteta would I believe again be cheaper and you are loosing nothing with quality and watch the game mate he has played in the middle MANY times and played awsome.
Bently again has played middle and is a rising star.
Cahill is cheap and does the job but my point is I would rather buy these players to give our youth a chance and try to find the next KAKA then spend alot of money on a guy that you know is OK but doesent have a great deal od scope to improve.
Mate I know alot abouth the game NOT everything and read when I compare cos it wasnt a direct player comaprison it was more money money and youth.
