COULD THIS BE TRUE?? (Answer: no. But a girl can dream...)

I'm sure it's not. Not. Why would they let him go? They won't. Plus the source sucks, and there's no way he would cost only £12 million. Still, says the Daily Mirror:

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to make a new bid for Liverpool's Spanish midfield supremo Xabi Alonso - and bring his strength and experience into his side.

I refuse to get my hopes up (really), but wow, what if this were true? Wouldn't that be something. And just look how cute he is! (Sorry, Dave.) So...dubious fingers crossed. I guess I won't turn off my "Xabi Alonso Arsenal" Google alert for a while longer.
