For a future "told you so comment":
Losing Alaba will be a blessing in disguise for us. Flick won't drop him no matter how suspect he is defensively and Alaba leaving us is probably the only way to get an overhaul of our defense done.
Don't get me wrong, Alaba is overall still a good player but certainly not a worldclass CB and he won't become one either. For all his ability on the ball he is still no Boateng or Hummels in that area and his above average controbution as ball playing CB just doesn't compensate for his weaknesses even in our system. So good luck to any club who wants to buy him as CB and pay him an insane wage.
