Ex-player: Xabi Alonso

That’s a shame but don’t worry everyone Slot will turn it around next season. Just you watch.

I’m at peace with us not wanting him because even if we do move on from slot it isn’t necessarily the case that he’d be the best choice. But I HATE him going to Chelsea

If he actually held a strong desire to be here he wouldn’t be making any decisions for a couple weeks.

Could be a stalking horse sort of thing. Negotiating with Chelsea, progressing along and apparently ready to sign - but he hasn’t signed yet. Is he waiting for another suitor to emerge?

I hope Alonso comes here but like Limie, I’m chilled and what will be will be. Iraola looks like he plays the sort of football we want to see, and maybe there might be some fruit to come from a Bournemouth connection? E.g. Kroupi?

I’m the opposite. Raging if we didn’t want him given our current circumstances. But if he goes to that basket case of a club then he’s gone way down in my estimation

Masterclass by Hughes and Edwards. Massive egos and a determination to be the smartest people in the room has cost us a world class manager.

Confirmation slots staying.

:see_no_evil_monkey: :sob:

I wouldn’t be so sure.

With Mo’s tweet and many players piling on, it is looking increasingly untenable for Slot. If we don’t sign Alonso then either Slot is staying, or more likely for me, we have our eye on another.

Theyre not even at the stage they realise theyve done anything wrong.

I would keep Edwards though, for a time anyway, he’s good at the business side of the game. which we look like being knee deep in for the next 12months.

Confirmed now.

Did he wait until they’d lost the FA Cup :laughing:

Chelsea said they would wait until after the final.

Cunts.

(and I’m not talking about Chelsea.)

Time to lock this thread.

Not really too fussed about missing out on Xabi.
I agree Xabi is charismatic and tactically astute, but what we need right now is someone who commands this team with authority.
This team is currently filled with a bunch of softies and I am sorry, Can I trust Xabi to handle these prima donnas. Nope, he himself comes out as a very soft personality as a manager. We need someone in Klopps mould … Sebastian Hoeness may be !!!
But, deffo questions needs to be asked from he suits if this was your primary target before Slot was hired, why did you not get him now when he was available!!!

Oh fuck me! This just keeps getting better. We’ll start the season with Slot and Xabi is at Chealea. :sob::sob::sob:
