Sure, but still wouldnt be my first choice for a team thats badly lacking physical presence. Its already almost like watching Barca, there's someone falling over every 30 seconds.
Before someone says "well it works for Barca , doesn't it?" - well it does, but Barca defends with possession, big difference.
Anyway, rumour is Alonso wants to leave Madrid, so there's solution right there.
Despite his being on the wrong side of 30 I believe I would still take Alonso in a heartbeat. Also now with Rafa as manager and him being the one who brought Alonso the England that could certainly help us get him if the rumours are true that he wants out of Madrid.
