Masch and Alonso are not for sale..How far is this true?

To be honest,the more Rafa opens his mouth denying that these 2 stars are leaving,the more I doubt that they are staying.Can we deny the spending power that Real have and what about the temptation to play alongside Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez- two best midfielders in the world..Can Alonso say NO to Real and missing the op to go back to his homeland and wud Masch resist the temptation? Wow they must bleed Reds all over should they say no to those massive offers.Rafa on the hand would surely love to gain profit from the sales -Alonso was only bought for 10 mills and now Real want him for 24 mil= 14 mils profit,while Masch was bought for 18 mils and Barca want him for 23 mils=5 mils profit.. The sales would generate 47 mils and a profit of 19 mils..Isn't that good biznes? Whew..

Surely I dun want them to go..but I am already resigned to accepting that the chances of seeing our duo together next season is very very slim...Just hope that if they really are leaving,Rafa wud make good use of the money and buy quality players..not only just team players..We are too big a name to go fo players like Distin,Tuncay or even Owen for that matter. We should go for players like Tevez,Silva or David Villa..

Please Rafa..get it right!

REDS DUO NOT FOR SALE
SKY Sports 14 June 2009
Liverpool have moved to quash reports that Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano are set to leave Anfield this summer.
Argentina international Mascherano has been linked with Barcelona amid reports that his wife has struggled to settle on Merseyside.

And Spain midfielder Alonso is just the latest in a long line of players believed to be on Real Madrid president Florentino Perez's lengthy and expensive summer wish-list.

Madrid's young strikers Alvaro Negredo and Alberto Bueno have been suggested as makeweights in any possible deal for Alonso.

Reds boss Rafa Benitez recently stating that Barcelona "could not afford" Mascherano and that Alonso was "not for sale" as he sees the midfield duo as key to his plans for next season.

And Liverpool backed Benitez to the hilt on Sunday by indicating any approaches for the pair will be firmly rejected.

In a statement on their official website, Liverpool said: "Despite repeated media speculation on the futures of Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano, Liverpool has received no official approach or offer from any club regarding the players.

"Neither is for sale and furthermore Liverpool has no interest in the long list of Spanish-based players being linked with a move to Anfield as part of any deal."
