I will give Aquilani the beenfit of the doubt until start of next season, but I must say, he is looking quite crap and nothing of the player he showed at Roma. For the price of Alonso, surely Liverpool could of snagged De Rossi instead.
Should've steered well clear of Italy completely. Let alone buying a permacrock.
Alonso should've never been sold so late in the window - and given our scouts are absolutely diabolical, probably should've never been sold in the first place.
He wouldn't have wanted to leave if Benitez hadn't ****ed him around in that ridiculous pursuit of Barry, either. The whole Barry-Alonso-Aquilani shambles has been a disgrace, and it's pretty much entirely the fault of Benitez.
He has to be sold back to Italy, and hopefully we can recoup a similar fee to what we paid, given some of the fee was performance dependant. Fair to say we won't have to worry about that!
Sell him, and buy a half decent striker - with Jovanovic coming in - it's a good opportunity to hock Babel or Riera off, and spend the proceeds from that on a replacement central player - ideally one with an attacking mindset that has the abilities to adapt to the high tempo of the league.
