[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister returns!

[Mustafa II]

Meant a lot to see his tears in his final game with the club.

Not for a moment did he act unprofessionally during negotiations to leave for a better paid job at a bigger club, unlike several others.

Great player for us, and will always be remembered for being the player who won the World Cup while playing for The Albion.

Plenty of former players deserve boos at the Amex - but this is one that deserves a round of applause.

 

[Littlemo]

I echo most of the other comments, when it came to be time to go he behaved professionally and in signing his new contract with us, made sure we got good money for him.

He looked upset to be going, when he went round that day at Villa. I feel like he really did care about the club and so I hope that he gets a good reception today, I feel like his behaviour has earnt one.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Of all our departing young superstars, he's the only one about whom I found myself thinking "this isn't the last time we've seen him in Albion shirt". I honestly think we'll get a swansong from him when he's at the other end of his career.

 

[Conkers]

Genuinely concerned about the mental wellbeing of the 3 people who said they would boo

 

[Triggaaar]

I like Alexis, but today isn't about him, so I hope he's just another away team player and the club/announcer doesn't single him out for special treatment. If he chose to walk around clapping us, I'd clap back.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

A warm welcome back from me and will be every time, as long as he doesn't do a 'Dan Burn' if he scores!

 

[Wellesley]

Do what any other club does if he gets subbed clap or do something if you want at full time, anything before hand is tinpot we play to win.

I agree, he's out to hurt us today. Loved him while he was here and he seems like a great fella. As you say when subbed or full-time only for me.

 

[fly high]

What reception will you be giving him?

You missed out warm applause. Certainly not going to boo but equally no hearty cheers just a warm welcome.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

He was a class act on and off the pitch and clearly has love for the Albion. He'd get a rousing clap and cheer from me if I was at the game.

That said, despite the muchos love I have for him(he's one of my all time favourites) I hope he has the kind of shocker that will have @dwayne telling us all how he's always said he was overrated.

He will then get another rousing clap and cheer after the end of the game.

I miss him

 

[ukpolska]

Although I believe in free opinion and the right to express it, anyone who boos this guy must have a screw loose.
I don't know him personally, but in everything he did for the club, he came over as a very humble and dignified guy and deserves nothing but respect from myself.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Knowing Alexis it would fire him up If he was booed.
Liverpool will be fired up enough already and will want to make us pay for VAR’s mistakes last week.
Let‘s not poke the bear.

If you want a lesson in how to leave a football club properly, just look at Ali Mac. I won’t be there today, but I hope he gets a brilliant reception.

The main thing I was worried about when he left was the fact that we’d finally found an ice cold penalty taker. We’ve found an even colder one in JP though, thankfully.

In fairness, he’d agreed a contract meaning we had to accept a vastly lower fee for him than his actual worth. This made it substantially easier for him to leave than, say, Caicedo or Cucurella.

Saying that, the guy was great for us.

But on the opposing side of that argument, he’s just an ex-player to me. Once they go I don’t invest in them either way. It’s healthier to be like that.

 

[Mustafa II]

I'd be very surprised and disappointed if he celebrates if/when he scores against us today.

 

[aolstudios]

Might clap him afterwards but would never encourage an opponent before full time

 

[nickbrighton]

Great to see him with RDZ and our players walking around at the end of match lap . Good reception for a player that did the transfer thing right. Bot different from Cucurellas " homecoming"

 

[dwayne]

Pretty good player. Definitely not good enough for Liverpool (if they want top 2)

 

[Albion my Albion]

He's a Red. He wanted to be a Red. Like any other Red. Bored by him.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Thought he had a solid if unspectacular game today much like many of his appearance s for us

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

He should have been booked at least 3 times today.

 

[dazzer6666]

Classy from Roberto to grab him as he was walking off and get him to walk round a bit with our players, and equally classy acknowledgement of the fans from Ale Mac. No surprise really.
