[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister: Albion legend?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not for me, the first player to win the World Cup as an albion player is a special if pretty niche achievement.

Great player and human being, but not anywhere near the legend status of Dunk etc

This comment is hilarious to me. Hopefully being whooooshed here

Class act too. Genuinely loved his time here, paid his dues, shows respect to the fans and ex-teammates.

Contrast and compare Sanchez.

I think that due to his personality, respect and attitude whilst here and his progress as a Brighton player, he is nearing Peter Ward as my all time favourite player. There is of course the small matter of WINNING THE WORLD CUP WHILST A BRIGHTON PLAYER as well. Amazing amazing amazing. That's insane.

 

[Bozza]

Bang average. Championship at best.

 

[Shooting Star]

Get in there Ali Mac!

Post match Didn’t he go over to the away support on Sunday as well

If Liverpool win the title (gritted teeth), & we get his true value (another £40m) = legend

I hope one day that we have another player as good as MacAllister. Brilliant player for us, Argentina and now Liverpool.

I am not holding my breath.

So, it’s a big yes from me.

Yep, he did

 

[maltaseagull]

Ironic that he went to Liverpool for £35 million and has become a key player for them whilst Caicedo chose Chelsea and we got £115 million and he has generally been poor for them.

 

[A1X]

We got f***ing rinsed by them

 

[Triggaaar]

Ironic that he went to Liverpool for £35 million

I thought it was more like £50m? (maybe inc add-ons, but I think he'll be fine for those)

 

[Weststander]

Very average player who somehow lucked out with a WC. Liverpool fans don’t rate him. I just don’t get NSC’ers rating him.

Enciso is my guess for the next one.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

In terms of what he achieved and how long he spent here; not quite.

In terms of the effort, commitment, and like-ability - yes.

I have a suspicion that he will go on to become a Liverpool legend but will still pay us our dues/nods.

Impossible bloke to dislike.

 

[Hamilton]

I still love Ali Mac.

Maybe one day he'll play for us again? Return of the Mac?

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

It's mad really to see how much he's progressed. Remember watching him at a pre-season game (Getafe?) and he was so pants and taken off quick smart, and now look at him

Always liked him, cheered him on when he set up di Maria for Argentina's goal in the WC final and was so proud that he played for US at the time.

Good goal tonight but not a patch on the best goal ever/never to be scored against Leicester last season in Potter's last match.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Should be hitting the target from there tbf. 18 yards out, middle of the goal and no-one pressuring the shot.

 

[Reddleman]

Absolutely love the guy, delighted for his success.

Winning the World Cup while playing for us is an unbelievable achievement which may never be repeated.

But, for achievements on the pitch in a Brighton shirt he’s not legendary status for me.

He was an integral part of last season but if we are being honest that was the one and only season he made a really big impact. Gross is a legend, compared to Gross he doesn’t quite reach the legend level.

And not called Lallana
