What is Xabi Alonso...?
A deep lying playmaker or a box to box midfielder?
For me he is the former, what about you?
This question was inspired by Thuthuka who thinks everyone will agree he is box to box *facepalm*
Thuthuka. Box to box means you defend and attack, like the name says you run from box to box and typically have a lot of stamina! Now does Alonso cover any of the criteria to be box to box? No but he stays deep in midfield and dictates play while keeping defensively aware to give stability, exactly what a deep lying playmaker does, he is the perfect example of one now sit down and stop talking a load of crap!
Haha MJ I never even noticed he put that I couldn't even be bothered looking at any more of his crap, guess that sums up his understanding of positions :P

Enough of these ridiculous answers
Xabi Alonso is not an out and out No.9
Xabi Alonso is not a supreme goalkeeper
Xabi Alonso is not a marauding right back
Xabi Alonso is clearly a d̶e̶e̶p̶ ̶l̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶m̶a̶k̶e̶r̶ proper centrehalf who will kick it out if in doubt and is gonna lead Spain to the cheese rolling championships in Gloucestershire

You're both wrong.
He is an out and out No.9 and he will lead Real Madrid to the final of the world cup next year, scoring hat-tricks against Barnsley and South America.

All of you are wrong and you're all idiots.. Everyone knows he is a marauding right back and will lead South Africa to the joint rugby/football World Cup in South Africa (sponsored by aids)

Nah, he's more of a goal poacher in the mould of Jurgen Klinsmann... the fact that he's vehemently defending his argument as well is hilarious.

Xabi Alonso is an all-round midfielder you idiot. Don't you watch football?
Alonso plays as a box-to-box midfielder while Illaramendi plays as an attacking midfielder in a position of a defensive midfielder.
*facepalm* you have embarassed yourself so much Maestro. You need to stop making yourself look like a fool.
