[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***

[Mancgull]

Buonanotte/ Sarmiento will then be our No 10. Rumours are that Man City are eyeing him up as a Gundagun replacement.
If true, perhaps a transfer ban for City will scupper their plans.
I’m sure we won’t stand in his way if the right offer is received. He’s behaved impeccably and I hope he goes on to great things.

wants out this summer, or at least his agents do. same source that broke the story of him signing here

Or his family are coming over to see him?

Sussex Senior Cup?

Or perhaps even Lancashire Senior Cup!

Stuff of dreams for someone who as won noth.......

Oh.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I'd love him to stay but if we have to lose one player(and I'm desperately hoping it is only one...) this summer then Ally Mac is the next cab off the rank. He's put in his time, performed well and acted with class throughout his time here.

If he does go he'll get nothing but good wishes from me. A class act on and off the pitch.

Is it too much to hope that a second half of the season surge into the champions league places would keep all our players here for another season? Yes, it probably is.

What does this even mean ?

His uncle has come over to speak to clubs what they can offer? Is it as blatant as that?

I read it as his father coming over to discuss his future as he will certainly leave in June. There are plenty of possible suitors

 

[Javeaseagull]

Well, Messi loves him and could stay at PSG. If he does he may ask for Ale Mac to join him. I just made that up but it has as much chance of being true as all the other bollox!

 

[nickbrighton]

Or perhaps "Father travels to visit his son and watch him play football" doesnt really make good clickbait

If he keeps missing chances like he did at Palace I am sure there will be a queue of posters offering to drive him to wherever he goes and buy the sweets too

Caicedo - Okay I am struggling a little bit with this one. Doesn't score enough goals?

I heard a biased Arsenal pundit declare this whilst bemoaning that we’d ‘overpriced’ him and we’re holding him back.

Unfortunately for Moises, he is required to provide defensive cover for players like Estupinian, Mac Allister and Groß when they get forward. He is does not get into shooting positions often but when he does, his shooting is vastly better than Bissouma’s. When he played with Yves, he was allowed to get forward, nowadays there are very strict instructions imposed on him. It’s a shame but someone needs to play the defensive role and he is the best at it in our club. I believe he’d thrive as an attacking midfielder or a box to box players as he was alongside Yves and Enoch.

On the football friendly podcast, Paul Barber said that Sarmiento was the player earmarked to fill Mitoma's position, should we get an irresistible offer for him in the summer.

I think that Buonanotte and Enciso will fight it out for the no.10 spot.

 

[The Fits]

Moder and Moran could also make a claim for his position. Moder can play 6, 8, 10 or wider. It's not just about the S Americans.

I agree its unlikley to be Champions league at The Amex next season, but if we actually get an Europa League or more a possible Conference place, the list of suitor clubs for ALL our players reduces massivley.

Of course we arent going to keep all of our players but the requirements for other clubs to have enough pulling power to "turn " players heads has already gone up several magnitudes over the past 18 months. Realistically we are approaching the the point of only the traditional big six (plus Newcastle now) having the"of course Ill go" response , and every other club is going to require serious thought

Its depressing to see our players constantly linked with moves away-but trhat comes with success, but I think its best to treat most of this speculation as just that, speculation. The fact that a players father comes over to visit his son and watch him play doesnt necessarrily mean the player is off

 

[Javeaseagull]

It’s a fine balance isn’t it. We need to sell one or two players every year to help the finances so TB doesn’t have to keep funding us. We also need to make room for players coming through. As long as we keep a core of stalwarts, Dunk, Solly, Pascal etc we should be good.

Yeah this.

But we need to be developing the next tranche of stalwarts though.

yes it will be interesting to see how far we go with that this summer. caicedo is definitely gone, can see Mac going too, but in terms of proper first teamers being sold, that's where it has to stop for me, this summer. I will be especially gutted and probably very annoyed if we sell mitoma

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Mit, Mac and Caic will be bid for..............hang onto the local lad!

I disagree(a little bit) . I think we're already at the point where the list of suitor clubs is big six and possibly Newcastle, and have been since the end of last season. No one else can afford what we'd want or offer anything that we couldn't. I really can't see many/any of our players kicking up a fuss about a possible move to Villa, for example.

I think if we make the minor European competitions it won't really affect whether we can or can't keep our players. If Liverpool don't make Europe next year but come in with a suitable bid for Ally Mac or Caicedo I'd still expect them to go.

I think our only hope would be Champions league but even then I'm not confident.

It's all a bit irrelevant without any bids, isn't it?

We will lose Caicedo in the summer. I suspect Ali Mac will go too, but only if he and the club get the right offer. Mitoma I'm a little more optimistic of keeping hold of.
