[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***
- Thread starter ChazzyBHA
- Start date
We are a funny bunch we moan that we need a playmaker and that no players are being signed then when an opportunity arises we start looking for reasons why we should not bring Alexis who by all accounts is the very type of player we need in!
If this work permit story is true and the player has said he wants to leave Boca to join us then book him a plane ticket ( just don't use the same airline as Cardiff )

Why wouldn't he be properly available until after the next break? He's playing regularly in the Argentinian League so will be match fit, I can't see it taking till the end of March for him to be up to speed with our tactics etc, that's longer than a summer window signing would get before the season starts. With the winter break coming up there will be plenty of time to get him up to speed if we get him here in the next few days.
If he's got the work permit lets get him here now.
If Boca have paid a fee to take him on loan for the whole season and we are cutting that loan deal short it's not unreasonable of them to want some of that fee back.

Has he, though? Said he wants to leave, just now at least? He might want to finish off his season at Boca first. We need someone who's fully GAGGING AT THE BIT to fight the good fight right now

I guess now we’ll find out if he actually has any intention of coming to us or not?

Oh good , let’s not worry about potential points if we can save a few quid
Probably do his knee in the last match of the Argentine season

Great news if true!
I don’t know if anyone saw this but he played for Argentina u23’s in an Olympics qualifier against Colombia a couple of days ago and was brilliant. Scored, was man of the match but also got sent off late on!

We need more reaction to this and comment from the club.
Did the club expect the permit to be granted before the end of this season or has this come as a surprise? Does this change their plans now?
Will the player be upset if forced to move to the UK at short notice?

Imagine he wasn't already ours. Then imagine the excitement on here if we were signing Boca Juniors creative number 10... an Argentinian international for say 25m.

To be fair, id imagine rushing a young lad over to a foreign country, doesn’t speak English, and throwing him straight into a relegation dog fight probably isn’t the best thing to integrate him

No point buying anyone then unless they're Premier league battle hardened

I’ve imagined it.....
Do we know that he doesn't speak English? He's been owned by an English club for some time, it's reasonable to assume that he's had some English lessons in that time
We’ve already bought him. And agreed to loan him out for the season. Chill out

That's right dwayne, Tony Bloom -- and the way he's running the club -- is "absolutely ridiculous"

He plays for Boca in a shin kicking league, I'm sure the poor little darling can cope.
No really? This is breaking news, hold the back page!
Point is if he's too fragile for the lower Premier league dog fight, after playing where he currently plays, then you've really narrowed the pool of available players capable who we could potentially bring in.
We're desperate for creativity further up the field so I'd bring him in now, this doesn't mean we have to throw him into the first match on arrival, but he can train with squad, Potter can look at him and introduce him to the starting line up.
If we wait 3 months to save a few quid then that would be asking a lot of the lad to hit the ground running with just a handful of games to go in the premier league.

They would have paid a fee to have him for that long so hardly a surprise.
