Xabi Alonso is first guy in EPL who has make over 1000 successful pass in a season. Being vote the favourite player of liverpool last season. Yet he is the man who was wanted to be offload away by manager during last year pre-season.

Real Madrid has been working on getting him to Bernabeu for few weeks already. Manchester City and Chelsea has then express their interests in the midfielder too.The latest update has been the wonderful passer has been label on a £35 Million price tag by Benitez.

Pro for the move
-For a player to play in their homeland is definitely better than in foreign whereby all their family are there.
-To be involves in the Changeover of once know as Galactico in Real Madrid and play alongside with the like of Kaka and C.Ronaldo
-It better to work for a manager which treat you better instead as Benitez didn’t really treat him well enough.(To put on a price tag on a player shall mean that players are allowed to leave the club)
-There is more spanish player in Real Madrid than in Liverpool which will help in their teamwork and chances to get into Spain squad for World Cup 2010.
-Higher chance of getting silverware i would say

Con for the move
-Can the glory memory of winning Champion League in 2005 make him think twice of consider moving
-Real Madrid have too many player at the moment which will reduce his chance of performing( Will be drop easily if no decent performance being make immediately)
-Harder to shine in the match with World Class star like Kaka, Ronaldo and Raul in your team
-Biggest rival Man Utd just sold their key player, C.Ronaldo, which mean Liverpool got better chance of winning EPL Title now
-Liverpool has a better manager compare to Madrid current manager

I think he should move to Real Madrid consider that its a once in a lifetime kind of offer in this kind of project of creating of era of Galactico. Benitez haven’t do much in trying to stop the move also, by saying he is important player to the club yet put up a price tag doesn’t show compromise. There is also higher chance of getting silverware with the new Real Madrid squad than Liverpool squad.

New of £3million agreement deal has been made, are being spread around. Are Sunderland captain Dean Whitehead going to be Stoke City first signing in the Summer? He has been previously link with Stoke City, Fulham, Ipswich and West Brom since last summer. He has been in Sunderland for 5 season and play a big role in the championship title in 06/07 for the return to EPL.

A loyal servant i would said about Whitehead, would be a bad move if Sunderland really decided to offload him to Stoke, loss for Sunderland but gain for stoke then.

Man City are still not giving up on John Terry after being rejected number of time. They previously had a £20m, £30m and a £32m being rejected, and coming back with their new bid of £50m this time with weekly wage of £250k contract. Number of factor shall be taking into consideration in this transfer.

Pro for the Move
-Increase in Wage and income
-New Environment might be better since Chelsea only won 1 FA Cup after the season Mourinho left Chelsea
-New Challenge as John Terry have been in Chelsea since he making senior career debut

Con for the Move
-No Champion League football
-Might not in top form for next year World Cup compare than staying with Chelsea
-Hatred by Chelsea fan to join rival club.

Afterall i think he should stay in Chelsea instead, its a win-win situation for him and the club. For him, its better to focus in football than in wage or income, David Beckham is a good example who move to USA league and eventually regrets his decision and wanted to play for AC Milan and he missed those Champion League football. Since his standard are good enough, Man City will definite wait for him, he can wait for Man City to perform into top 4 and convert the move next year instead. He has been an influence for the clubs and fan, he also help fortify the defense of Chelsea along with Cech to achieve the run of 4 year unbeaten at home ground before got break by Liverpool’s Alonso goal in the end. Without him in Chelsea, Chelsea shall never be the same.
