If you look at his stats for last season he is mate.

The only thing alonso has over barry is his passing...

Still though barry has set up more, scored more from dead ball situations, is a better tackler of the ball, better header of the ball, is left footed can play in a holding role, can play on the wing can play @ Full back and hes quicker going forward, has more pace, the list could go on...

Alonso has been sussed in the prem like i said before, hes a great passer of the ball albeit he needs time to do it and if you close him down quickly hes useless...

Plus hes English, and with this new qouta being threatened it makes sense to sign him...

Not for £18 Million though..

Villa will back down over the valuation...

The have to now coz otherwise there left with a player they dont want now, and a player who doesnt want to be there... Arsenal wont pay £15 Million for him coz Wengers such a tightfisted Frog
