This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What would you do if you were Xabi Alonso by SCOANGERS

I was reading both German and British press and realized he has not finished a season yet but he has all the top clubs asking for him.

FC Bayern - It’s clear you are the target number 1 - they are going to try to add players including many Bayer players Florian Wirtz - they have money and winning the Buli is easier

Stay at Bayer - would in my view work if you can keep the roster - We are in a. Euro year so many players will be high in demand - can you despite the limitations of Bayer keep some of the key players do another year and look at options

Liverpool -you spent great years there with huge connections with the fans but can you succeed Klopp after 9 years , can you really compete with Pep and city ?

Real - this is your real home - My sense is Ancelotti will be gone in a year especially after Mbappé signing the expectations will be huge - I think he wants to be there . You will get Mbappé Bellingham a young team . Succeeding Ancelotti is not a stretch

So would suggest spend another year at Bayer try to convince Florian Wirtz to stay and then go to Real

Thoughts ?
