I don't understand how Pirlo is great and Alonso is useless.

13m. THIRTEEN!!!!!

If Alonso had to go (which he did because of the public jerking he was
subjected to the previous season, what a blunder that was--not trying
to sell him, but the unapologetic public way it was done) could've
even done a 15m+Sneijder deal.

Sneijder probably would've been played on the left, or benched for
Leiva (and I'm not even being ironic).

To make maters worse, apparently the Mancs are in for Sneijder (one
wonders why they need him though, they've got Carrick, the best
playmaker in the premier league).

15m, not that it's much difference.

They are looking to replace Scholes. Carrick didn't play much last
season, and the former "best midfielder in the league" Anderson
apparently is being sold. So my guess is Darren Fletcher is the
current "best player maker" and "best midfielder in the league"
according to RD.

Lots of current and former Liverpool players may play in the final,
though: Potentially all of Kuyt, Babel, Arbeloa, Alonso, Reina and
Torres could get on the field. Don't know how you Liverpool fans would
feel about that - probably mixed, I guess (i.e. knowledge that in
2008-2009 you had in your ranks 6 players good enough to be in the
squads of the two WC finalists, plus others like Mascherano, Gerrard,
Agger, and Carragher might remind you of the missed opportunity last
season was).

I always did believe and state that we were the best team in the EPL
in 2008/2009, so this doesn't surprise me much. Last season though was
something like an episode out of The Twilight Zone.
