Xabi Alonso (34 Viewers)

[Cronios]

Real have much more bigger fish to lure, Alonso is not a priority to them, Liverpool want to bring in new blood and they could be interested to cash in, Alonso himself would be interested to first team football.

I think the only real problem is Liverpool's demands and our transfer budget...

real has diarria and gago. i doubt they want xabi. only spanish team that i think needed him was barca

Real may not need him but since when have they bought players based on what they need?

 

[Ahmed]

yea I think Schuster isn't that interested in Xabi at the moment...

 

[HelterSkelter]

Oh - Thanks. All those guys werent even ringing a bell in my head. Is buffon right in saying Aquilani will turn out better than Xabi?
Though they play differnt midfield roles imo since Aquilani is more box-to-box and Xabi is more deep lying playmaker who dont particularly tackle well eg Pirlo and Carrick

Porbably,yes.Aquilani has age,and Serie A experience on his side.

Porbably,yes.Aquilani has age,and Serie A experience on his side.

But the last season was injured for a long time. I like them booth and I think they're two different players, different skills.. So, why don't we try to buy them all? Ok, I'm dreamin'.

Gigli: We Will Get Xabi Alonso
Juventus chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli reveals that his club are working hard in order to sign Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso


The Bianconeri have been after the Spanish international as they look to strengthen the midfield and the idea is that Alonso will play alongside his old team mate Momo Sissoko to add strength and depth in the middle of the pitch.

Reports claim that Liverpool want £16m for Alonso but Juve are trying to bring that price down.

"Alonso? I think that his agent will arrive in Turin today," said Gigli.

"We cannot deny the fact that we are interested in him but then there is the slight problem of value for money.

"Jean Claude Blanc is working hard on the Alonso possibility as well as others."

The Bianconeri are keen on investing in their side this term as they prepare for a return to European football's big time in the Champions League.

Juve have also been linked with Frank Lampard, Diego, Rafael Van Der Vaart and Marek Hamsik but it seems as if they are hell-bent on the Liverpool man.

With camo nedved(gio) sissoko and alonso, i think our midfield is one of the best in europe.

This would be really great.

Typical Goal.com article.

The headline has nothing to do with what is actually said.

 

[cyril]

Technically it doesnt, but I believe thats what we could assume from what he said.

Theyre playing mind games on us now.

 

[Red]

Alonso is certainly an attainable target.

It will most likely come down to what wages he wants though.

 

[Ahmed]

what is he earning at Pool?

 

[cyril]

Come to think of its, this also means tiago is on his way out.
This makes me sad, I had a feeling he'll turn things around, hes class to me.

 

[cyril]

what is he earning at Pool?

From what Ive read he earns 3.5M a year.

 

[Red]

what is he earning at Pool?

Around 3.5m per year, supposedly.

Similar to what we are meant to be offering.

but isn't he paying less taxes?

 

[Red]

Don't know.

Maybe our offer is after tax.

puh-leeez he was never going to be the answer for our central MF situation...better for him to move elsewhere

 

[mondo1]

Don't know.

as far as i know players in england don't pay such high taxes than the ones in italy do

 

[Boudz]

So what is the general consensus on this player? I think it would be a great signing. He is one that can truly boss our midfield. Our very own Pirlo

 

[Mark]

I think he's getting 3.2m and Juve offer 3.5m €. I think it'll be done if all goes well.
