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

[Dave the OAP]

What about Trossard? Booo?

How are Huddersfield doing? Will they lose their best players in January too?

Dreadful season. All their best players from last year were snapped up by forest and a couple of other prem sides recalled their loanees

odds on 3rd division next season

which to be fair means I will be able to get tickets for matches where I can’t get ones for Albion away games.

looking forward to get back to proper grounds again with my flask

 

[Dave the OAP]

I would also suggest that he is going absolutely nowhere and the papers are full of shite. My theory is the only one with evidence

You have evidence he is going nowhere? Wow..everyone we have a bone fide player agent on our board at last

great to know.

It’s the flask that sells it

…and standing on windswept terraces, drinking hot tea , scarves, woolly hats and no tourist supporters caring nothing about the team they are watching just their own player…decent hot pies and jumbo sausages and of course meat and potato pies and Rotherham shepherds pie

i know why so many of my old football mates go to non league football over premier stuff.

I don't have evidence that the moon isn't made of cheese, but given that there has been a lot of rock brought back from there over time I guess it isn't.

I don't have any evidence that Mac isn't available for £30m and Europe's top clubs don't want him. But I do have evidence that suggests Albion wouldn't let him go for that (previous transfers) and that the media makes up much of its transfer news (don't need to even bother producing evidence for that).

Hence I'll assume it's tosh until otherwise proved, in the same way as I won't anticipate Lunar Cheddar on my shopping list just yet.

Good for you

inter are broke, that's why they had to sell lukaku in the first place, and even after that there's still a big financial black hole. absolutely no chance they'd be able to meet our asking price, which will be well north of the figure quoted above

This. Inter can’t compete with us financially.

Yes I know.

 

[nwgull]

I can’t see us selling an automatic first-choice player mid season. When was the last time we did that?

 

[brighton terra]

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that he’s rumoured to have a £50m release clause in his contract

 

[Guinness Boy]

We won't be selling anyone major in January. I suspect a lot will hang on European football as to the transfer activity in the summer.

Could be with the Albion then

I think you can rule out all but one player (the Belgium) as I just can’t see him signing a contract, whatever happens.

I actually believe the club would spunk the vast majority of his fee on a replacement (think Mudryk or Ramos level quality and age bracket) but if they can’t get a top, top prospect in for around the same amount, I think he’ll stay till the summer when we’ll then get about £5m - £15m less for his transfer fee. No biggie I guess, especially if he keeps up his astonishing form.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that he’s rumoured to have a £50m release clause in his contract

I'm sure I've read somewhere that Tony Bloom doesn't do release clauses.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm sure I've read somewhere that Tony Bloom doesn't do release clauses.

Even if he did, you'd have to think White and Cucu would have pushed the dial beyond 'only' £50m.

 

[brighton_tom]

I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that he’s rumoured to have a £50m release clause in his contract

No chance. Tony doesnt do release clauses, and if he did it would be north of £50m.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Does he have a 1 year extension clause that we could activate?

 

[Eeyore]

Does he have a 1 year extension clause that we could activate?

Yes, in the summer. Hence a decision would be made in January on the basis of how juicy an offer was v what Albion would get next summer.

You can never be sure of these things, but he is 28 now and his next contract is the last big one. Also the the next six months or so is likely to be the last big fee.

I can see why he would be dithering over signing. It's an interesting one.

My guess- January £35m (+AO) June £30m (+AO)

Just a guess, of course. Not sure that there will be many takers in January. Suspect there may be a few come the summer. Hence not such a big difference.

Play your hand, Tony.

Just wanted to quote this in case anyone missed it the first time.

Inter can't compete financially with the Albion.

What times we're living in.

Hard to adjust from an era where we needed to rely on the recipient of a Coca Cola competition win to be an Albion fan

Mac is one of those players that I really wouldn't mind if he left in January. Not because I don't rate him - he's a wonderful player, but because he has been a total gent his entire time here. I don't actually believe in the idea of players owing clubs anything and I'd never stand in the way of a player wanting to progress their career. For me, the only move he'd make is to a bigger and better club and he deserves that. It will happen eventually and I wish him all the luck in the world.
