Xabi Alonso was one of the best players and one of the first names on the team sheet when Real won the league last season. He's been among their better players this season too although they obviously didn't win the league they did get to the CL semi-final. He was also a key player in Spain's Euro 2012 win last summer. He has PL experience, never relied on pace anyway and is a fantastic footballer.
Re-sale value schme-sale value I say.
I'm guessing some of you aren't realising that the guy thought they got Yaya on a free...
they got Kolo.
Lol, I know thy got Kolo and not Yaya. I'm saying that Alonso at 12M would be way too expensive at his age.
Kolo is not the player he was but as a free transfer, even with the wages, is a better deal if that frees up money to be spent elsewhere, such as their left-wing. They need CBs and having an experienced one like Kolo Toure can help them for ghe short term.
I mean why aren't we going for Alonso if he can still cut it in the PL?

Signing Kolo doesn't really free up any money, it takes a large chunk of your wage budget. He'll probably be on something similar to what Carragher was, but any free transfer requires a decent sign on-fee.
Read the rest of the tweets.. It ones big wind up laugh at Liverpool account..
LFC's wage budget is already ridiculous anyway. However, it'll be unknown what he'll be on. What will be known is the transfer fee, and it's not like Alonso will be getting paid peanuts either
I know, I follow them :lol:
They scary thing is that the tweets are copied and paste from their forum, so they really are that delusional!
Can any of you clever mods embed this? Made me smile!

Ta, thx Little Mods
I still think, even at his age, that Alonso for £12 million would offer more value for money than Kolo Toure.
He's officially Wantaway Luis Suarez.
Telly, Daily Mail, others all quoting his interview with Uruguayan TV saying he wants out of Liverpool. Tired of being hammered by the media, hounded constantly by paparazzi.
