So I guess it´s all happening. I´m sad to see him leave but it´s a fact he hasn´t progressed too much the last couple of seasons and I trust Rafa knows what he´s doing. In fact I know he knows what he´s doing.
But what about the Barry vs. Alonso debate. Alonso has a big name on him, but is Barry much worse? I haven´t seen too much of him but I have noticed a two things he certainly does better than Xabi:
- Great delivery into the box from set pieces. Alonso was pretty much useless on this.
- He´s a quicker and more mobile player.
You go.
