"You have got be joking! I believe a lot of things I read especially when it comes to football 'cause I'm a bit of a "late bloomer" in this area. But I find it hard to believe Xabi will be coming back. Not that I would not welcome him with open arms!"
"Now this would be a fantastic xmas present. Would increase his legend status and we know he loves the club and the fans adore him. Please please come back Xabi. YNWA"
"It was just a matter of time for this Bull$h!t story to happen. Would love to see him back. But it is NOT going to happen anytime soon. Also, what would we do with Stevie, Lucas, Allen, Hendo, Jonjo, Sahin etc...its just not feasible."
"Too late if we are moving forwards. Let Suso grow into the team - within two years he will be an even better player than Alonso with the right development."
""prompting suggestions"...that says it all. What happens is that the player attends a mate's wedding, causing him to miss the contract negotiation meeting, which the press then interprets as the player "refusing to sign a new contract", "prompting suggestions" that he 'wants' to sign for this club or that!
Anything to sell newspapers nowadays!"
"if you sign nobody else this jan, pull out every last stop to get Xabi back at our club. pay whatever Real ask, do NOT quibble or hesate, do something swift and positive for once and get him back"
"it don't exist any word to describe the massive talent of Xabi lad and how I 'd love he came back, anyway I am sure that BR's downsized project will push him to give up on the purpose to come back to England"
"He loves the club, he loves the fans & more importantly we love him. I believe Xabi will come home maybe not in January but he will come home one day."
"this is such a teasing story...... bit like that winning lottery ticket to realise its the wrong week!
who cares about other midfielders like hendo, downing - see ya! we have got to get rid of the bench-warmers who take our money for no return.
gerrard, lucas, suarez and alonso.
would love to believe this story but dont see alonso returning. "
"COME BACK XABI !!! ALL REDS WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR CLASS STRUTTING AROUND ANFIELD AGAIN. A QUALITY PLAYER WHO HAS BEEN MISSED SINCE THE DAY HE LEFT. YNWA XABI ALONSO !!"
"This is more than just a rumour i reckon. A few months ago Xabi said in the interview on the website that he never wanted to leave and wouldn't rule out a move back to Anfield. He also said his son speaks scouse and supports Liverpool!!! ;)
"
"This is something that would be good for the club at this time as Stevie G is off his game and maybe having a true quality midfielder next to him will ease the burden. If this happens though i would be most surprised."
""Xabi Alonso has admitted he misses Liverpool and has refused to rule out the prospect of returning to Anfield before the end of his career.
The Spain World Cup winner remains a firm favourite with the Kop... And the 29-year-old told Liverpool's in-house TV station LFC TV that he would jump at the chance to return to the Reds...""
"i watched a replay of the RM vs AM game last night purley to see Alonso play ..he was damn good and i was wishing he was still at LFC ..an i read this piece today ...good omens coming LFC way ???
come back Alonso .."
"This just makes me so much happy. I mean to see Alonso and Gerrard playing together for Liverpool what more can one ask for. The sheer quality he brings in and those killer passes....ufff too much to handle...hopefully this rumor is true and we see Alonso back in the red jersey of ours :) YNWA"
"I have to add one more interesting comment. I am a Liverpool fan from India and Xabi Alonso is like Sachin Tendulkar...just his mere presence in the team sheet lifts the spirits up in the team and opp fears... Plz FSG make this happen there are very few ppl who can lift the team when its badly needed. Alonso for Liverpool YNWA :)"
"Wish it could happen but a long shot. Madrid may be out of the running in the league but they still are in CL. Even if Xabi doesn't mind losing that chance Mourinho might have other ideas. Unless MAdrid have a replacement ready for Jan. Would be fantastic though."
"A bright star shone over a stable, a choir of angels sang Hallelujah, Tiny Tim threw away his crutches and spoke. A bell rang and an angel got his wings. Rudolph's red nose shone as he pulled a sleigh across the sky with a big dude in a red suit giving out presents. And you guys WON'T believe Xabi coming home could be true?"
"Selling Xavi was the worst decision ast a string of bad decisions made by Benitez. Now he's making a hash of his return to the the Premiership I hope the idiots that called for Benitez to return to this club when K.D. was fired now realise what a catastrophe that would have been."
"FSG, forget your youthful transfer policy and sign him. We know he bleeds LFC blood. Forget your youthful policy, it didn't work for Arsenal, they woke up just recently and are looking like they have a bit more steely grit in their team (compared to previous years)."
"It is fantasy this, but it would surely shut the chronic Lucas lovers up as Xabi is the real deal...Lucas the shameful pretender. In fact try and swap him with Lucas and watch Jose laugh his gonads off!!"
