Eds, is there any particular reason why Aspas, Alberto and Ilori are hardly getting a look in?

Also, what did you make of the performance yesterday?

Cheers

Good evening Eds,

Just to take a break from the transfer rumours, I have been enjoying reading through the posts on players we have missed out on over the years. Though I have a few more questions.

What was the story with the Rafa, Alonso and Gareth Barry drama and why did Alonso actually leave other than the Real Madrid interest?

Is it true that we almost signed C. Ronaldo back in the day when Houllier met his family?

I know these questions have been answered before but I searched and couldn't find the answers.

Cheers Eds

{Ed001's Note - Rafa was unhappy with Xabi's form, after he returned from injury and tried to sell him to Arsenal. Alonso rejected the offer and wanted to stay, but Rafa tried to sign Barry to replace him anyway. Alonso left because the club was in money trouble and the Real Madrid offer was too much for us to turn down. He had little choice but to leave being honest. I very much doubt he would have wanted to turn down the offer though, it has meant he became first choice for Spain.

Houllier did agree a deal for C. Ronaldo, if I remember correctly the amount was about £3.6m, which was much less than United ended up paying as well. The only problem was that interference from the board blocked the deal as being 'too expensive'.}
