Alonso might have loved the club, but despite having a great season last year, the previous 2 he was garbage. Thats what led to Rafa trying to sell him. As for Crouch, he was coming to the end of his contract and wanted regular football so had to be sold, Keane was bought by Parry and never stood a chance and Arbeloa's days were numbered when he fell out with Carra for being too laid back on the ball, only one winner there!!
