Alonso will probably go to be honest. It's a real shame as he's by far the best in the league at what he does. Great vision, ability to read the game and play an inch perfect pass. The problem is who can replace him? Lucas will be a very good player in the future and has shown glimpses of being exceptional in patches, but for a title contending team I'm not sure if he is reliable enough yet.
Masch is a strange one, again he's the best at what he does - break up play; would probably be easier to replace though. He owes Rafa alot - he was sitting in the West Ham reserves when we got him (o.k through their incompetence) and he's now Argentina Captain and a world star.
If I had to call. XA = gone/going
JM = staying
