Rumor has it that Alonso is gone.....rumor also has it that the Reds are working their way to signing one Clint Dempsey (not that he would fill Xabi's role with the team, but he would be a cheap option and effective too).

You serious Lyle?? Dempsey is totally different player to Alsonso, i think Benitez knows Alonso is going Barry was the replacement he wanted, I dont know what people think but how about Scott Parker who had a great season with West Ham.

I don't think Parker is creative enough. I read about them going for Aquillani at Roma.

scotty plays infront of the back 4 in that covering role which he has been amazing at all season.

When we 1st signed scott i genuinely thought we`d bought a bowyer esque mercenary making his reputation off of 1 good season. But had it not been for him green and matty upson we`d be in all sorts of trouble right now.

If you want a essien type defensive midfielder who`ll grab you the odd goal or 2 and likes to get forward whenever possible then parker wont be to your liking. But parker is indeed the best in the league at playing that grinding role in the centre of the park that makes his presence felt with heavy tackling and can ping a football around like no other

Benayoun wouldn't be horrible to fill in for Alonso, as long as we have another guy to sub in for him.

See THIS is why you keep Sissoko!!!

Can you really replace what Alonso does? Doesn't seem like there are too many guys with similar games.

Meh, they could get Xavi to replace him. Not likely.

True but it would be nice if they got someone who mirrored what Riera did last season
