I've a feeling both Barry and Alonso will be here next season as Gerrard, I would imagine, will play behind Torres. That gives the rotation of Alonso, Barry, Masch & Lucas for the 2 midfield slots. Also, Barry can play left side and at a push, left back.
When it seemed Alonso was available last summer, don't forget this was on the back of a forgettable 12 months for him. That previous season he didn't show his best at all. this season he has and therefore I don't think Rafa will be looking to sell him unless someone comes in with a very big offer.
personally, before Xmas, Alonso was probably our best player but since then, Gerrard has been outstanding and head and shoulders above every one else.

Imagine playing 15 million plus for a midfielder who isn't likely to start, how many teamns do that?
