Maybe pick up someone like Sneijder from Madrid. He's looking down the barrel of a bench warming season. Same boat for Vand der Vart and Huntelaar??
Sneijder would not be a direct replacement for alonso or the masch - in liverpools set up he'd be more suited to gerrards spot. And both are far too good to leave on the bench so i wouldnt think sneijder would be a good option. Van der vaart maybe - is more in the alonso/pirlo type mould... should alonso leave.
There's a few midfielders at Real who might be sniffing around other teams now that kaka and ronaldo have arrived - they've still got sneijder, van der vaart, L Diarra, M Diarra, Guti, De la Red, Gago, Robben, Drenthe, and a couple more fringe players... perhaps some bargains available.
