I've just read your report on the Spurs match where you say with almost complete certainty that Xabi is leaving. But you didn't say why ...?????
I simply cannot believe that Rafa would let him go unless he was getting Iniesta or Xavi to replace him. he is our best passer, he makes our football flow so much better when he is on the pitch. He is simply too valuable to our club to be sold unless we have lined up someone better to replace him.
Why is he leaving? Surely not just so Rafa can get the necessary cash to buy Barry, Downing or any of the other sub-standard players whose names have been bandied about in the press as potential summer signings? This would be complete and utter rubbish!
Please say what you've heard regarding his exit from Anfield. And if anyone else knows anything, please chip in as well.
Thanks.
