From the guy who brought you the glen johnson and robbie keane rumours first. Here is the official word from Anfield. Alonso deal is done, he's off to Madrid on 19th July, not a shock for anyone really, but Liverpool will be getting the 30mill asking price.WIth this cash Rafa buys 2 players. Aguilani and Silva. That will end the spending apart from a couple of youth players. Word on Melwood is that Rafa is gambling on TOrres' fitness for the sake of getting the wings sorted out. With Silva and Aquilani the midfield will have enough bite to play an effective 4–5–1. Plus the fact that there is no more money.Masc is staying though for an increased 84000 a week, deal to be announced in the enxt couple of weeks, as his agent has several meetings with Benitez this week.Dont expect any other players to join it won't happen. But with most teams significantly weakened, confidence is high on Anfield
