I was disappointed with Alonso for a few seasons, I thought he struggled with the tempo and had two mediocre seasons on the bounce, but his form this year completely swayed me into the pro-Xabi camp, he's proved his worth this year and although I maintain Barry is a great player, Alonso is better.
As for Rafa reiterating Alonso is staying, I know he has, but I still believe if Real offered 30m+ Euro's, Alonso would be a Madrid player.
The link with Silva is back in the media today, £15m sounds like a bargain to me.
