great to see heinze leave :beer2: now on to VDV, robben, huntelaar & drenthe...there are still too many players in the squad, with xabi alonso (cross fingers) & ribéry (cross fingers) yet to arrive.

i hope valdano & pellegrini can somehow convince negredo to stay...judging from his interview, he wants to stay. though understandably not as a bench warmer.

If Liverpool could get Sneijder or VDV in a swap deal that wouldn't be bad business for them considering they are getting a few bob.

my stance is no for Ribery.. keep Robben and move forward.

Sneijder is not part of any deal he is staying .. however they can have Negredo or Huntelaar to be a sub or play with Torres and VDV.. than again the cash would be something like 3-4 Mil

any deal for xabi alonso involving players, would IMO at this moment be the worst and most stupid thing madrid could do, since that would mean a big step back in the negotiation. currently, there is like 3-5m € diffrence...put in players and shit starts with, what player, only one player or maybe two, what's the cash price that's left, how do the club value the player/s that should be involved etc...too complicated at this point, this has gone for too long already, finish it for good and that's it.

well, as you know, i hate robben...but besides that, what good is he anyway??? when he plays on the right, his selfishness is a pain in the ass to watch. moreover, he always makes the same move, it didn't even work against LDQ. and once it does work, his shooting is awefull.
i wonder wether playing him on the right would make any diffrence...at least he would not be able to run STRAIGHT at defenders with the ball on his left foot in order to cut in and shoot the ball into the crowd.

well, milan are said to be interested in sneijder as pirlo replacement.

while pellegrini said he wants sneijder to stay, i'm not sure if pérez & valdano would resist a big offer from milan

Xabi Alonso requests transfer as Real Madrid stall over £26m tag

Sid Lowe

Xabi Alonso sought to bring his move to Real Madrid closer today by handing Liverpool a formal transfer request but the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement. Although Madrid consider Alonso fundamental to their plans their president, Florentino Pérez, remains reluctant to meet Liverpool's price. Rafael Benítez is determined not cede ground, with around €5m separating the two sides. In taking the first public step, Alonso is hopeful of forcing the two clubs to broker a deal.
Real Madrid have made an offer of €24m (£20.5m) for Alonso while Liverpool originally quoted €40m – even though Benítez had been keen to sell him to Juventus for half that amount while he pursued Gareth Barry last summer. Having missed out on Barry, Benítez is holding out for €30m (£26m) plus incentives which would see the total exceed €33m. Pérez, though, has resisted increasing his offer above €25m.
The departure of Alonso, who is the Liverpool fans' player of the year, would be a blow for the club. Fernando Torres recently said it would be a "serious loss" if his compatriot were to depart. Liverpool would then turn their attention to the Wigan midfielder Lee Cattermole, while there have also been negotiations with the Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani.
Real Madrid have made little secret of their desire to sign Alonso. "We need a midfielder and Alonso would fit our system: it is no mystery that we are interested in him," Manuel Pellegrini, the coach, said. He also admitted there are "no other players" like the Spaniard.
That does not translate into a big enough offer to convince Liverpool, however. Pérez draws a distinction between "investment-footballers" and "cost-footballers" and Alonso falls into the second category. He said Liverpool's price tag was "detached from reality" and he could not understand how Alonso's value could be "twice as much as it was a year ago".
Alonso told Benítez he wanted to leave at the start of the summer. He has been determined not to be forced into an ugly stand-off or a rebellion and the transfer request suits both clubs.
Madrid feel their position has been strengthened by Alonso handing in the transfer request but that it was also an attempt to flush out an renewed offer from the Spanish club and hasten a resolution two days after Benítez told the midfielder that he wanted his future clear before the weekend. Benítez does not want to appear to be responsible for Alonso's departure after fans reacted angrily to his proposed sale last season, supporting the Spaniard and chanting against the signing of Barry. Alonso's subsequent form increased the pressure on the manager. His declaration of intent relieves Benítez of that burden.
The transfer request is designed not only to pressure Liverpool into letting him go but to push Madrid towards making a bid acceptable to Anfield. Madrid wanted Alonso to go public. He has now done his bit: it is up to Madrid to do theirs too.
Javier Mascherano's brother has revealed the Liverpool midfielder wants to join Barcelona – but admitted that he will probably be forced to stay at Anfield.
Sebastián Mascherano said: "Javier wants to go to Barcelona. That would be the best thing for him and his family. I am sure he and Leo Messi have spoken about it. Leo is one of those who is most insistent on Javier playing for Barcelona. Hopefully, the opportunity will arrive."
