Reports on yesterdays tribalfootball.com allege that supporters rallied against the Real Sociedad board over the sale of Liverpool new boy Xabi Alonso. Also several players were dismayed over the fact he was transfered for only £10 million when some suggested he was worth more in the regon of £16-20 million! If these reports are fact then Liverpool could have a truly exciting prospect playing in our red jursey weel in week out.

After the Owen deal the Real S fans should get the balance off Real M

Alonso.. is supposed to be better than Gerrard.... that says it all really... Benitez ..good business

Better than Gerrard, then why did he say he was in awe of him in training. From what I understand he is going to be a less of a powerhouse than Stevie but has the intelligence and range of a Cruyff. Once he gets used to the physical nature and adapts we could indeed have found ourselves a very special player and the combo of them both in the middle is starting to make me drool. Its a bit early to compare him to Stevie G tho IMO.

no 1 midfielder compares to gerrard, the only players whose remotely any where near him is vieira, and maybe appiah! U carnt ompare to the likes of zidane becuase zidane is one minded, hes got the flair the skill but has he got the crucnching tackles stevie has can he drive a team forard like he can thats y not many central midfielders

Vieira is a better player than Gerrard.

Gerrard has alot of drive and power but lacks the intelligence of Vieira.

vieira and gerrard may play in the same part of the field, but comparing the two is not right. both players bring different aspects to the beautiful game. one being better than the other is a matter of opinion. And everyone has their opinion. in other words Vieira lacks drive and power, plus he uses his arms to smack folk in the face. thats just my opinion

Comparsions between the two should also take into account that Viera does have four years on Stevie G.
It will be interesting to see what sort of player Stevie G when he is 28

Right so its a matter of opinion? Ok, well in my opinion i'm a better player than Steven Gerrard... hows that for an opinion?

Get real lad.

The facts are there weather certain people can see them or not Vieira is better than Gerrard in practically every aspect of the game with maybe the exception of shooting, dribbling and acceleration.

Arsenal don't finish top of the league because IN WENGERS OPINION Arsenal are a good side with great players. Arsenal finish top because they ARE a great side with great players.

Teams don't win games down to opinion, they win games down to doing things and being better at things than other teams.
