Rumours about Masha and Alonso are still going round if they don't want to stay here thats fine by me close the door on your way out lads.
Don't think Masch will go anywhere. I think the whole links with him to Barca were just Barca trying to force Toure into signing a new contract, which looks likely. Might have even been signed by now, I've not looked over the past few days.
I think Xabi will go, though. After he said 'I can't answer that' when asked would he be happy at Liverpool next year, I think it shows he wants a new challenge. Hopefully we can mug Madrid off something around £30m. Not sure if we can find a direct replacement, but maybe a younger player with potential. It's unlikely we'll sign a similar style of player, too, as there aren't many players like Alonso around.
