[Albion] Where is Alexis going? (Liverpool - for an undisclosed fee...)

[The Fits]

Selling MacAllister doesn't prove there was any release clause.

It proves we are sticking to our model of not standing in the way of players moving to bigger clubs.

Wow.

 

[Weststander]

Anyway, that's that then. I'm confident that we'll spend the 45-55m very wisely on players that no one has heard of but will have armchair fans of big 6 clubs will be moaning about us not letting them buy them for peanuts in 3-4 years time.

Sorry, Alexis, but you're just a scouse **** to me now.

At least it wasn't to vile Manure or the petro state cheats.

 

[The Fits]

Who's the new number 10? João Pedro? Maybe Enciso? Ferguson?

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

He was rubbish anyway.

Is he tall? No.
Is he a speed demon? Not really?
Can he tackle like Caicedo? No.

What's that? He can scoore when he is only 12 yards from goal and the ball is put nice and still for him on a spot with noone trying to get him?

Big whoop. He didn't win the world cup. Messi and 10 blokes did.

Naylor saying 55m

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Wow.

Wow what?

Have our club said anything regarding a clause?

Until they do it's all un-substantiated speculation.

Sorry if I require actual proof and not here-say.

Well even Naylor isn’t denying it, or being briefed by the club to deny it.

1 out of 3 at this stage.

He also predicts Milner and Dahoud. Will he get his hattrick ?

Naylor's just confirmed both of those will be happening.

3 out of 3 for Mr Not in the Know.

 

[WhingForPresident]

So in summary:

Yes we aren't getting as much as we thought we would, but we would have got far less had he not signed the new deal with this 'clause'.

Romano is probably the most well connected 'transfer guy'. Of course a lot of what he reports is fed by agents, and circumstances can change, but he is rarely wrong when he reports something as fact.

 

[The Fits]

Weirdly excited about Milner. Having two Lallana's, even if they rarely play, is very good I think.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Sorry if I require actual proof and not here-say.

Where say?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Well even Naylor isn’t denying it, or being briefed by the club to deny it.

Or they are just not bothering to address twitter nonsense.

 

[The Fits]

And this would be the perfect tweet to say 'understand no clause'. Naylor would love to get egg on Romano's face again but clearly can't on this one.

 

[The Fits]

Beyon-say.

 

[A1X]

Even £55m seems cheap, not entirely happy with this TBH.

Yes trust Tony and the club, but even so it's tough to take.

 

[Hiheidi]

Naylor saying £55m, but The Athletic are saying £45m!!!

 

[The Fits]

45 + add ons. That would've been what we were discussing this week.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Naylor saying £55m, but The Athletic are saying £45m!!!

Athletic just cut and paste what some other twitter account posted.

 

[The Fits]

Whatever the amount the one thing we can all agree on is that he has been a fantastic servant to the club. A wonderful man who's partly responsible for our increase in profile and goes down as one of the greats and definitely one of the very best to wear the stripes. Good luck Ale Mac x
