A thread about a man named Xabi

[James Dean]

This is surreal.

 

I want to lay down and die.

[redrosetints]

Money talks, and I hardly think Ronaldo is moving to a less successful club. Nine times Champions of Europe, the biggest club in the world.

 

Historically, perhaps, but not really in the last 5 years. Maybe you think so and I agree its not clear cut, but to me the mancs have everything Madrid want, only they wont get due to their inability to provide a stable environment for their managers to manage. Just my opinion, but going to Madrid is a step down for him.

[SpeedyG]

Yer, thats how I feel.

 

He's been gone for a while now in my head, and I'm glad this shits finally sorted. But seeing it there in black and white (or yellow and black on the SSN ticker bar!) is a bit upsetting. Don't like seeing our best players wanting to leave us for someone else. Showing all the clips of him and that, bit gutted really. Won't be watching sky tomorrow, really don't want to see him having the medical and his parade and all that bollocks. Hurts too much.

 

And SSN saying Poulson is his replacement, fuck please no.

 

I'm convinced Macia contacts every single player in the whole world that is potentially available.

[Ted]

Poulsen? A player who can't get in his current team ahead of a player we deemed surplus to requirements and not good enough? Oh yeah, that makes sense, innit.

[redrosetints]

Been coming for well over a year. Relived it's over, but devastated that he's gone.

 

Rafa's future rests on what he now does with the money. I have a terrible terribl feeling that I'll be calling for his head come Christmas if he fucks this one up even more.

 

Will you be 'putting it out there' again Tom ?

[cochcaer]

He's been a class act and I'm a tad sad his exit has been so protracted. He gave us good service and we recoup a hefty fee so it's not all bad.

 

Hopefully we can now pinpoint a worthy replacement.

[redrosetints]

You're catching up RRT. Have you seen he's left yet?

 

And spoil the fun ? no way, I'll find out sometime tomorrow afternoon, Ive the other thread to catch up on first.

Bollocks to that; we've lost much better than him before.

[Guest LFD]

I will always love Alonso and will never say a bad word against him.

 

He was a bloody good player for us, on and off the field - a class act.

 

Good Luck Xabi.

That's the mature approach but unfortunately not one i share; in football if you're not for us you're against us. Probably not big or clever but there you go.

[NelCarra]

What the fuck is going on! Sad day for liverpool fc, hes the best at what he does in the world! We need him!

[Gods back]

We"ve lost bigger and better players than Xabi,and come back stronger.

 

Time to move on now.

[redrosetints]

Poulsen? A player who can't get in his current team ahead of a player we deemed surplus to requirements and not good enough? Oh yeah, that makes sense, innit.

 

Yes, when i first saw the Poulsen link I was a little worried. I like Defour, Aquiliani (or whatever it is) sounds exotic even if I have nothing to base an opinion on, but Poulsen ! Isnt Poulsen Danish for Zlatan ?

[John101]

Didnt he try to avoid handing in a transfer request, to keep his loyalty bonus?

 

Class act?

 

The king is dead, long live the king.

[Code]

Real Madrid have been splashing the cash this summer. Bargain hard.

 

I wont come cheap thats for sure.

[NelCarra]

Fuck off we dont want Poulsen

[Carradona]

Fuck sake.

 

Good luck Xabi.

 

Rafa had better get this right or there'll be a lot of people calling for his head.

[Kurt]

Fuck sake.

 

Good luck Xabi.

 

Rafa had better get this right or there'll be a lot of people calling for his head.

 

 

Doesn`t matter what Rafa does. Some people will call for his head no matter what.

[redheart]

Sorry but I am not sad to see him go. He first season was good as was last season. In between he was very average. In particular his lack of pace and mobility was a real fault. If we got £30m we can get a younger, faster replacement and money left over to strengthen up front.

[philyhamann]

who the fuck are we going to sign

 

this is the worst day in the history of the world im gonna get durnk

[Sweeney287]

Glad this entire charade is over.

 

Get on with getting a replacement in.

[Red Banjo]

That's the mature approach but unfortunately not one i share; in football if you're not for us you're against us. Probably not big or clever but there you go.

 

Is the approach i adopt.

 

I wish him well as long as it has no direct impact on us. Whatever his reasons for wanting to leave, he's disrespected us by considering any team in the world as a step up.

 

See you in the Champions League Xabi when your newly assembled team of primadonna's will be taught a lesson.

 

Bye

[ToxtethTerror]

It doesn't matter if he is gone, I am sad but we move on. I am excited about how we replace him and who we get in. Bottom line though, a championship challenge or the sack. Simple.

Doesn`t matter what Rafa does. Some people will call for his head no matter what.
