Xabi Alonso, A-No-Go

Why are we talking about the future of one of the best Liverpool midfielders in Liverpool history? Why are we trying to get Garath Barry, just to replace Xabi?

Gareth will end up replacing Xabi in the central midfield position, even though he's not in the first team all the time. We've also got other world class midfielders such as Mascherano, Lucas and Gerrard. 

The thing that's confusing me is why are we trying to get a central midfielder to replace another world class midfielder who is younger and, in my opinion, better at being an all-round midfielder for around £18million? Is he really worth that much?

We all know that Kuyt is being played as a right-midfield player know and that means we're one striker shorter than we were. We struggled finding the net with four strikers and its going to be harder with only three.

One player I feel would be great with Torres is Kun Aguero (Athletico Madrid). Liverpool still need to boost up their strike force and personally, I don't feel buying Garath Barry is the answer.

Alonso has already said he doesn't want to leave the club but wants more first team action. With Garry, he'll get less first team action and us Liverpool fans have already expressed that we do NOT want the 2005 Champions League finalist and 2006 FA Cup winner to leave Anfield.

Spend the money on the part of the team which we are weakest at and make it stronger. That's why Man Utd and Chelsea are currently so strong.

Fingers crossed Xabi Stays, Gareth stays and Rafa stays... Come on lads, get the Premier League.
