I don't consider him a legend, but a significant highlight. In recent years . . . He Found his feet here, honed his game and PL craft, under our tutelage, over a 2 year period . . . Shined for a season then f***ed off asap for the big ones . . . . . .which was expected, with TB's blessing, clearly a pre arranged financial agreement, which pleased all parties. . . The biggest deal is that he went with respect and dignity, which is better than most. That's what endears.

He will be a Liverpool legend, he is that good.

I love Mac Allister. What a player.

I don’t usually get that attached to players but I love him. Love the way he plays football, love the man. It makes me happy just watching him. I love him. God I wish he would come back one day.
Yeah, absolutely adore him. He's the sort of player you imagined all footballers you admired were like when you were a kid. A match winner who genuinely cares. As you get older you start to realise next to none of them are actually like that. Alexis is.

He's a pretty standard midfielder. I always thought he could never really handle the big occasions tbh. Think we did well getting as much as we did for him. Has hardly set the world alight. If he wasn't Argentinian he wouldn't have won a world cup either so that doesn't count.
Yep the hype on here is ridiculous. He struggled the first half of the season but now he's a had a few good games against the likes of us Sheffield united etc (us!) he's a monster player.

Watch very carefully when he plays a real big boy like city or arsenal and things don't quite go the same way. He's a very good player but if I'm being really harsh he's not quite good enough for someone like city.

You're softening your stance!

Previously you said he wasn't good enough for a top four team. Now he's only not quite good enough for man city.

Give it another six months and you'll be fully on board the Ally Mac love bus.:love:

He has to. He just HAS to. What are the press gonna do with all their "Return of the Mac" headlines if he doesn't?
I really hope we can move on from giving ex Liverpool players a boost to the retirement fund. Apart from Jack Hinshelwood no longer wearing a snood in training Milner has been crap for us.

:lolol:

Next you’ll be telling us about how James Maddison regularly terrorized us and how you’re a seasoned traveler 😉

He has the talent to have a long career at the top as it’s his football intelligence that powers his superb game, not so much his physical attributes.

That means that when we re-sign him in 2030, he’ll still have plenty of good seasons for us left!

This entirely….

I really do think he is already one of the best in the world.

He’ll probably go to Real Madrid, and given the pace of the game out there, he’ll look even better….

For me the drone footage of THE penalty elevates Alexis above 99% of Albion players, even more so than the World Cup.
Legend feels a bit much but he's as close as you can get.

Someone's been whooshed here by @Somethingdean, either me or @dwayne pretty confident it's not me though :ROFLMAO:

Loved him as a player for us and has always come across as a thoroughly decent chap.

But when I look around at other transfer fees (including the £110m for Caicedo) I will forever have the feeling that we gave him away. For only £35m Liverpool got a WC winner and one of the most versatile midfielders in world football.

Is this another of the dullard's comedy accounts? :clap:
