[Albion] Alzate

[Springal]

The match in New Jersey kicked off on Tuesday at 8pm EST. Presumably it was hotel straight after, so why would he have been flown to Bogota on Wednesday when that is even further away from London?

Steve Gerrard said Morelos only got back yesterday because of air traffic control strikes in Columbia, so assumed Alzate would also have been delayed

 

[Nottseagull]

I would have thought that the club would have paid for an upgrade for him to first class if he wasnt already in that so that he could sleep all the way home.

Why should the Club have to stump up for this?
If the Columbian FA won't, then it's up to Alzate himself to get himself in a position to play in the next match for a club who are paying him what, £40,000+? per week.

International breaks were devised so that players don't miss club matches but some people on this thread seems to think playing on a Friday and Tuesday should mean that a young man isn't up to a full game the following Saturday!

Alzate on £40k a week!? Hahah. As if.

Well, he's a better all-around player than Andone IMHO, who was on a reported £45,000 per week. I thought contracts were redrawn once players get established in the first team.

 

[brianwade]

Yep but seemingly they went back to Columbia

Alzates Uncle wanted him to go back via Bogata as he had a suitcase he needed taking back to the UK apparently . Very kind of him

Firstly, I think others have already ridiculed the £40k a week pay. I suspect his representatives are currently negotiating a new contract since he has broken into the first team but doubt that will be close to £40m a week.

Secondly, you seem to have a short memory. Do you think Cardiff are regretting their decision not to insist on organizing transport for one of their players? Alzate is not just an employee, he is an asset to the club and the club will do what they need to do to look after him. I'm not sure what happens but I suspect that in most cases, the national association that have called him up will pay for the flight.

I can guarantee it will not be anywhere near 40 million a week.

He signed a new four-year deal just seven weeks ago.

Didn’t he only sign a new contract last month ?

I would think that the club will want to protect their assets.

Anyone following his progress at SL? He's one of my favourite players and I think he'd shine under RDZ, but it looks like his opportunity at Brighton may have passed.

Anyone think he's likely to return next season?

[Albion] - The 2022-2023 Loanee Tracker Thread

From the BBC tonight: "Oliver Norwood goes into the book for a reckless challenge on Aaron Connolly. This comes after Tommy Doyle was also booked for a similar late tackle on Connolly. Sheffield United look to be targeting Connolly this evening." Looks like our (ex) Ollie is still giving it...

Genuine question (as in "not a dig") but is he really one of your favourite players? I've always seen him as solid, if unspectacular and possibly not quite good enough to challenge for a regular starting spot.

I was also very surprised to find out that he's already 24. For some reason he seems eternally 21 in my mind

You wouldn’t say he’s a spectacular player, but I very much enjoy watching the way he can play out of tight spaces with subtle shifts of weight and well timed pokes and prods. I don’t think he has much of a long range passing game from what I’ve seen, nor exceptional athleticism But I can very much imagine there are plenty here who would love to see him back in the side fulfilling his potential under RDZ

Bizarre but true story, his cousin came round to mine to quote me on some window blinds. Said alzate loves it at Brighton and doesn't want to leave. Would have preferred the west brom loan.

Hoping to come back into our squad next season.

Oh and he fell out with potter ! So will be pleased he's gone. The cousin seemed to think potter didn't really speak to him that much or give him a clear explanation as to why he wasn't playing. Don't think he will have that problem with the new man.

His chance at the Albion has gone l'm afraid, he was loaned out for a reason, l really can't seem him featuring for us again.

Are you going with him for the blinds?
