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

[spence]

Sad he's gone. Gutted he went there.

Thanks Alexis.

Absolutely this. Brilliant player and human being. Gone to the worse big club imaginable.

 

[Gwylan]

I With that in mind, the mystery is why no other clubs came in for him. A nice little bidding war, perhaps! But no, just Liverpool.

We know that it wasn't a normal release clause. Perhaps the clause was £35m (plus add-ons) to Liverpool, £75m to anyone else

 

[el_ciddy]

Seems pretty cheap and a sideways move from the mighty Seagulls.

 

[GT49er]

Just maybe the deal with Liverpool was in place before he signed the new contract and we insisted on it being signed so there could not be shenanigans this summer?

His Dad has been banging on about him going to Liverpool for ages

Yes, maybe - that's what I mean by it would be interesting to see exactly what was included in that contract!

I see that West Ham have just announced the price they want for Rice - depending on which figure for Mac to Liverpool you believe, it's 2 or 3 times as much as Mac Allister!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Meh. Sideways move.

Yeah, that would make sense, as for £35 mill upfront, one would think there would have been a disorderly queue. Wonder if he'll be as good there. Anyhow, he's Liverpool now, adios.

Been reading that from a minority, ridiculous.

 

[Reddleman]

I think he a brilliant man but only a very good player.

Despite playing for much of the season in his preferred number 10 role he managed two league goals from open play and very few assists. He’s good on the ball and very tidy in possession but he’s nowhere near the level some seem to think he is.

I’m not sure we will truly miss the player but we will miss the man and for that I wish him all the very best.

Yes, perhaps - so yes, it would be interesting to see exactly what was in the contract!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Certainly not convinced that is or was his best option and a bit surprised that a European club unless their skint didn't come in for him?

 

[Clive Walker]

35m! Waiting for somebody on here to tell me that Bloom the poker playing wizard has pulled off another blinder!

The list of clubs who can spend £55m on a player is quite short.

Rising to £55m with add-ons, which are presumably achievable.

 

[Klaas]

I'm so pleased that Ally Mac's dad has got the big-money move he always wanted.

Alexis was happy to stay, but the financial needs of the family come first, it seems.

Ooh, interesting, a shame if we could have had a bit longer out of him but still won't begrudge his moving on.

 

[Bold Seagull]

35m! Waiting for somebody on here to tell me that Bloom the poker playing wizard has pulled off another blinder!

Better to believe Twitter and some media headlines than trust our owner I suppose...

 

[Icy Gull]

I am quite frankly staggered that TB is getting pelters from some over this transfer.

He can oversee my financial dealings any time he likes

It might be because most folks were valuing Alexis at 70m a few weeks back. What has changed?

Agree to an extent. There’s every chance he will go up a level at Liverpool though , if there are better players around him.
There is no doubt (putting to one side the whys and wherefores) Liverpool have the better end of this deal.

Hilarious really. Too much sunshine I reckon.

So when is Dahoud and Milner being announced?

Yesterday someone said the club can’t do that until 1 July , but that hasn’t stopped Liverpool unveiling Mac
