[Albion] Alexis MacAllister

[Jam The Man]

If (when) we stay up, I wonder if our efforts to get this guy back early turn out to be some of the best business done in recent history...?


I just have a hunch he’ll be providing a big impact for us.

Bit of an unknown for other teams I guess and now has the benefit of a mini pre season to gel with the team.

I've been thinking the same. With 9 substitutes, Potter will have a wealth of options if he starts and fails but I don't think he will.

 

[Stat Brother]

I've definitely got unrealistically high expectations for the poor lad.

The one thing he's got in his favour is the fact he's coming into a squad that doesn't have a player in his position and those around him have hardly set the world alight.

 

[raymondo]

Let's hope he gets to play before the 75th minute in games then

 

[Stat Brother]

No. No you haven't.

The lad is a WORLDIE in the making. A young Vicente. Will win games on his own.

 

[albionfan37]

Let’s hope he’s not a very naughty boy too

Good business? With the benefit od hindsight, not really - we'd paid good money to get him back to not play a game, when w'd be getting him back in a couple of weeks for free anyway.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Actually it's usually bloody annoying..................

 

[lawros left foot]

I'll give him the usual 20 minutes before I judge him a complete failure, and offer to pay his airfare back to Argentina.


Ti's the NSC WAY.

 

[Swansman]

Looking forward to see more of him. If he starts or not is hard to tell but probably not against Arsenal, even if fitness will probably be one of the main factors in selecting a team the first two weeks or so, making it even more impossible than before to guess a lineup.

Other than the fee to get him back early, wasn’t there some work permit loophole we excersised that may not have been an option in the summer?

 

[blue-shifted]

One thing about Alexis is that he is a relative unknown. So I don't doubt the clubs we're playing will have scouted us to death over the last 2 months. Alexis offers that bit of unpredictability about how we line up

The reporting around this wasn't exactly clear (to my mind) but I seem to remember that it was implied that the work permit is only for a limited period anyway and there will have to be another application (this summer?).

 

[dangull]

He looked very promising in his few cameo appearances before lockdown. A 50 million superstar in the making I reckon, or my memory is playing tricks with me as it was so long ago.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

It was so long ago I’d almost forgotten about it but this thread has reminded me just how exciting his Wolves cameo was.

Can’t wait to see him in the stripes again.

Your memory IS playing tricks - he made one appearance, for 10 minutes (plus injury time) against Wolves.

Didn't he only initially get a 6 month work permit? Which would have been back in Feb or March so long enough to finish the season.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Don’t believe so. Work permit is length of contract usually and can’t see anything which indicates otherwise online
