ALONSO ON HIS WAY TO MADRID
Word on the street is that Liverpool and Real Madrid have agreed on a £30 million fee for Spanish international Xabi Alonso. Liverpool sources confirm that there is an agreement in place but would not release the details.
Alonso trained with Liverpool on Tuesday but as the team headed for a friendly in Norway, Alonso was on a plane headed for Spain.
Real Madrid issued a statement saying that Alonso will have a medical on Wednesday.
If everything goes well Xabi Alonso should be a Galactico by Wednesday morning USA time. Alonso will be Madrid’s 8th signing of the off season.
Spanish international defender, Michel Salgado, has been released from Madrid in a mutual agreement after 10 years with the club. The 33 year old defender has won multiple trophies with the club, including 2 Champions Leagues and 4 La Liga titles.
Does the signing of Alonso make Madrid the most talented team in Europe? How do you think these players will mesh together? Do you think Liverpool are fools for letting Alonso go?

I think alot is riding on how the coaches of these BIG-spending clubs will deal with the personalities and form a cohesive unit out of individually skilled players.
Hughes and Pellegrini will have their work cut out for them, but the ability of their teams to match their talent lays in their coaches hands.
