Rumoured Xabi Alonso

[The only place to be 11,313]

Romeu isn't a bad player but that injury came at the worst possible time for him. There was an opportunity for him to stake a claim but unfortunately sometimes that chance can be snatched from you and not come back round again. That's first-class sport for you.

Josh has never been overly impressive even at the Championship level. He has plenty of skill but struggles to impose himself on matches and may already be in the last-chance saloon.Personally I'd like to see him have some time under Jose but I'm nowhere near as confident about him making it here as I once was.

Alonso for me is a no-brainer. He is a short-term fix but that's not always a bad thing. He knows the league and he knows Mourinho - that to me makes him a perfect deputy for Lamps in the pivot and I reckon he'd be a great character to have in the dressing room and on the training pitches.

There is nothing wrong with him - there was something wrong with AVB. If he is really ready to play for us (even in a squad role) then why isn't he getting any time at all in a Valencia side that is struggling mightily at the moment? He doesn't even get on their bench at times.

i have no idea of what is going on at valencia. but i ll like to comment on what i have actually seen. and what i have seen is the fact that he is a decent player and will get better with age (unless he is totally hampered by injuries). also avb was not the only one who trusted him. rdm went into a season with just 2 cdms out of which one was romeu. RAFA on the other hand chose him ahead of mikel in the short time that romeu was fit before he had his injury. so that 3 out of 3 managers in chelsea that he had a chance to play for.

He'll never join. He will renew his contract with Real Madrid for sure.

[Rapkun 668]

Yeah. They need him now more than ever so the chances of him leaving are pretty slim.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

He'll probably go back to Sociedad

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

i don't know if you've heard this before, but he has not renewed his contract with madrid yet. things are unclear for the moment and there is quite a hesitation from both xabi and madrid wheter to renew this contract or not - usually a club like real madrid is not waiting that much to renew an agreement and that made xabi having second thoughts and, apparently, thinking about a new experience. rumours or not, but spanish newspapers say ancelotti would be about the only one from the entire club who wants xabi to continue in madrid...

for those who have not watched him this season, he has been in superb form so far, real madrid is a completely new team since he came back after that injury and i think now it's the time for jose to do his magic and bring a world class partner for ramires.

well, spanish media was also saying Ronaldo would leave blabla and than he renewed. I think if Xabi decides to stay, there wont be a big problem to renew his contract. Carlo is a big fan of him.

I think he will play for us. He is one of Mourinho boys in Real Madrid like Arbeloa, Khedira, and others.

I think he agreed with Mourinho that he would come to Chelsea. Alonso (like other spanish players in MAdrid) is loved by the supportes, everyone in the club wants him to continue, I think he can't because he will play here next year.

I would like that very much. 2 years of him and then Chalobah or RLC to take his spot.

never gonna happen

He's leaving Real Madrid according to the Marca but mostly in the summer and not January. I'll pass

CHELSEA are considering a move to bring Real Madrid star Xabi Alonso back to the Premier League.

[drog.ba 239]

We we'd sign him, won't happen though- he won't come back to the Premier League

it sounds like we are talking about a beautiful bubble here. no chance that xabi will come to chelsea at this stage. if he joins us, it would be a genius steal conducted by the club and i probably wake up laughing in the midnight.

The more hilarious part, if it happens, is to see the reaction of those delusional scousers.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

I'd love him here for a couple of seasons. I dunno why he would want to leave Madrid, unless they are going to replace him.

I'm sure Torres would be glad to have his old mate back
