He is just a replacement while Thiago and Martinez are injured. Expecting a struggling start they wanted a good replacement. Alonso is very good.

Well, if by very good, you mean the best holding midfielder of the last 10 years, then yes, he's very good, xD.

Quite surprised by the alonso transfer, like everyone else, but it isn't a bad one I suppose. I wonder why Real were not more keen on holding on to him, maybe they are going after William Carvalho now?

Alonso's prime was so long ago it's not even fun. If he played in any other team he would have a sweet collection of red cards.

The fact that he was RM best midfielder until Modric can be explained by the fact that their midfield has usually been their worst line in the last 10 years.

Alonso is a nice stop gap and with their injuries at the position I'm not really surprised by the move.

Please take Carvalho away. He's too good to be wasting his career at Sporting.

RM/atleti/sevilla didn't get the memo it seems, (.
Also this german team that became world champions are Pep's product through and through.
Same with the spanish team that dominated before and was a product of Pep's barca.

There was some Guardiola in it but not more or less as he coached Barca. Its also not his fault that Lahm didnt work that well at the 6 in the national team.

On the Alonso transfer i tought first it is a bit weird but the more i think about it the more it makes sense. He gives Schweinsteiger and Thiago time to recover, can play in a 3-3-4 and help Alaba. Also he brings physicality in the midfield and is still a pretty good player. He feels a bit like Van Bommel back then: Past his prime but still good enough to play a good ball and a nasty dude that knows all the tricks. Nothing long term but he has still one or two good seasons left if injury free. A pretty cheap one, the last price i read were around 8 - 10 million and i think the rumomr that he makes 10 million/year are wrong.

Real will not miss him as a person i guess (if i remember correctly he was the last one of the mou era) but whenever Real sells a good central midfielder i get that Makelele picture in my head.

You cannot be serious.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

He will make 10m for the 2 years, 5 each. Getting 1 less each year than he had guaranteed in madrid when he re-signed for 6m/year untill 2016

Ruhrnachrichten and Der Westen report that Kagawa will return to Dortmund in this transfer window. Appearently Watzke missed the champions league draw to negotiate the transfer. Der Westen and Ruhrnachrichten are probably the most reliable sources for information on BVB so I'm a very happy person right now :D. #freekagawa. Also it is rumoured that Arsenal wants to sign Sokratis for a transfer fee of 15 million €. Which is absolutely not going to happen. Maybe for 25 million. pounds.
