fucking legend is xabi god the footballing world will miss his quality

Hearing Xabi speak about it, the hurt of losing him feels fresh again. Rafa was under pressure to sell to raise funds but the idea of selling Xabi never should have been considered. Ultimately, Rafa stuck a knife in himself by putting the seed of doubt in Xabi's head. If the Xabi-Stevie partnership remained, our Reds would have continued to be a force in England and in Europe despite Hicks and Gillette's damage. We never recovered from losing Xabi.

Thank you for EVERYTHING you have given to LFC Xabi, you will always be, next to Stevie G, the best Midfielder LFC has EVER seen
