That’s just a fanzine opining (on Monday) that they think the club should try to hijack the deal………not any suggestion at all that they are.Not reliable to be honest, think they maybe on about Mondays link, below.
Fabrizio Romano claims PL side are now "confident" about signing Man City target
"Ready to activate release clause" 🔥www.manchestercity.news
Humans have the capability to understand what could be as well as what is. Why shouldn't people enjoy the feeling something good is about to happen even if there is a chance it won't? If it doesn't happen people will certainly miss the enjoyment of the signing and seeing him put on our shirt and play for us. Nothing is certain in life, so by your rule, no one would ever look forward to anything.
Did you tell them Mac Allister was bang average and you didn't see what the fuss was about?
Yes I genuinely did lol. Couple agreed that he had a quiet start at Liverpool.
I've heard that a glowing review from Ali Mac very much helped Valentin to make his mind. Interesting that Mac Allister Senior is doing the rounds in South America talking about the deal positively.
Hats off to your dedication!
Double down Dwayne
Mac Allister Senior is very much a friend of the club. He must have been so impressed the way we looked after his son during COVID, pre and certainly post World Cup, but mainly making sure the next move was conducted correctly.
Barco seems to have been chasing this move as much as we have. Seeing as we are at the medical stage I would think this issue (if it is indeed one) has been resolved in the talks that have already taken place.

Maybe, but now I think players, or rather agents use the tactics of leaking that the deal is done, get the fan base excited, then put in a last minute demand to see if they can get away with it. Not to say that will happen here, but I think it has cost us in the past
Brian Owen seemed to pour some cold water on the fact the deal was at the medical stage earlier and he's in direct contact with barber.
Did MacAllister have one when he first came? I'm not sure he did.
Well 4 hours ago he said "The Argus has been told the deal is complex but that Albion "getting there" slowly and are "making progress towards completing a deal".
Absolutely – and most people are of that disposition (as Sheebo assumed), which is perfectly fine with me. All I'm saying is that – for whatever reason – I'm not. I go into most Albion games thinking they'll lose. Then, if they don't it's a bonus and if they DO lose, I don't feel any worse than I did!
The Kudus release clause was said at the time to be a sticking point as his people were aware of the Caicedo stalemate where he supposedly felt trapped by his contract. Who knows if this is true but it was cited several times on here. You're right, I believe the release clause was added to the renewed contract for Mac. Re the waltzing off next January, I guess a contract can have a caveat along the lines of there being a release clause but it not being activated for at least X years. Anyway, I admit I'm speculating here but after the Kudus disappointment I'm trying not to be complacent.
