Dont get me wrong, i think alonso is a cracking player, well, he was in the frist season but unfortunaly teams have worked him out. With him and mascherano our only attacking threat comes from torres through gerrard and so natrually we become predictable.

In the first season he seemed to get so much time on the ball, but now teams tend to close him down from making that killer pass ie against spurs in his first seasons.

He sits far to deep to be an attacking threat... if we get an offer of 12 million + i wouldnt be upset to see him leave.

That could be put towards some quality wingers which as its been repeated so many times, i what we desperately need.

Quite clearly rafa has confidence in young Lucas and im sure next season he'll begin to shine.
You could say the same thing about Carra and likewise that might be unfair the fact Alonso gets a shirt means he is doing the role that Rafa has asked him to perform and that role might not be to score goals

And Harry Kewell seems to have had a good run at the club for a man who's role it is to do both the thinks you state at the club and yet ?
