ALONSO WON'T BITE FOR BARCA

By David Maddock 14/06/2007

 

XABI ALONSO has revealed he snubbed the advances of Barcelona because he believes Liverpool are on the verge of greatness.

 

Barca were ready to offer the Spain midfielder a huge contract but instead he signed a new five-year deal at Anfield despite often being on the bench towards the end of last season.

 

He said: "There was interest from big clubs but I want to be part of what lies ahead as I know it's going to be incredibly exciting."

surely he knows more than the journo's about the money we have to spend. You'd expect this would have been brought up in his transfer negotiations.

[Eiler99]

Doesn't he know we're skint?

[Cobs]

incredibly exciting = verge of greatness

 

 

feck off, maddock.

[anny road]

all Xabi had to do was read anything written by Dave Usher and he would have known we are skint

 

the silly basque idiot

[Cunny]

Dave has not said we are skint though.

well put some jokie smilies on then

and get back on the booze

 

I'm not being precious abiout either Usher or Bascombe - I don't know how much they know about our current situation but given their track records I'd say they would know more than most.

It makes me laugh when the anti-Usher and anti-Bascombe lobby claim that they are saying we are skint, which neither have. They just think our budget will be around our normal summer spending but we'll not be getting any extra from the new owners.

i am not anti either

 

but at the end of the day , Usher can get it wrong, and i think he gets his info from Bascombe who, imo, no longer has the ear of the club like he used to under the old regime

 

 

hence my sceptisism

[DanielS]

I think the only way to sort all of this out is to have a fight. The Bascombe and Usher Apologista vs the Popular Cynical Front. The Can't Be Arsed with Rumour Mongers Coalition will face the winners.

My take on things? We're pushing prices down by feeding the public that we're not going to be held to ransom.

 

FFS, we're Liverpool, we always manage to get one "expensive signing" every season even under Moores.

 

I'm sure we can afford 2 more, especially with monies from sales.

my take on things, you either get in early and probably pay a premium to close the deal quickly so as to stop a bidding war or you wait till most teams have bought or set the price for your target then go in and buy

 

of course non of this makes sense in light of the Benayoun bid

[McBain]

10 games should do it

[Knox_Harrington]

Xabi, much like Knox, thinks we're going to sign Henry.

'its on'?

 

[Knox_Harrington]

'its on'?

 

Nope. Just think we're going to sign Henry. Huyton f***s us in August and I f*** us in February. Them's the rules.

[SkippyjonJones]

I f*** us in February. Them's the rules.

 

and damn you are GOOD at it!!
