Xabi Alonso:
"Time flies. I have already been here for five years, and it has gone so fast.
"There have been ups and downs, but I have tried to enjoy and learn from every situation. I have developed into a much better player and person.
"A lot of things have changed for me during my time here and now I am looking forward to my sixth season as a Liverpool player.''
I hope that means he's sticking around.
