It is believed the Reds are now refusing to budge from their original ₤16million asking price, a figure the Old Lady simply will not – or cannot – meet.
But the situation at Anfield is even more interesting, as Alonso’s non-departure could effectively scupper Rafa Benitez’s hopes of landing Aston Villa wantaway Gareth Barry.

I have always feel Xabi is a good player for us, his style, his range passing is good. If he is not moving, and we get Barry, then we will have more then enough central mids, a situation a north london were in last season (believe currently still in). well, will just monitor the transfer news and see how it goes.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez announced yesterday that he is keeping a very close eye on David Villa, the Valencia striker who scored four-goals at EURO 2008 last month to help Spain to their first major title in over four decades.
Cheers.

wow, if both comes over, then it will certainly booast our attacking strength, but then again, we might need to change the formation to play with 2 striker? Villa and Torres...and SG might have to go back to central or on the right, assuming Rafa plays with 2 defensive mids.
