Why on earth would Alonso go to Red Bull? He does not need to money, he is at a team that is so focused on him they keep on an inconsistent (but potentially fast) number two to the detriment of their constructors title hopes and the tifosi worship the ground he drives on. Yes, Ferrari have struggled* since he joined but James Allison will be joining them next year so they will more than likely have a MUCH more competitive car given the step up in resources available to him.
Also don't forget that next year is a rules refresh, the cars will be significantly different and therefore the form guide that has been built up over the last few seasons is out of the window.
I think that Alonso is playing a game with the press to remind Ferrari that it is him that has brought any success to the team over the last few seasons and to make sure that they deliver on the promises they have no-doubt made to give him a championship winning car.
*By their own high standards.
