If young mr Alexis and comrade Roberto could quit f***ing around and put the bloke in the role where he is a King, I think it would be a decent step in the right direction.

While I understand and respect that Alexis wants to play in that role and that Robert wants to help him do that... he needs to get back to his more defensive role. For Argentina he often had plenty of space as the opponents were putting multiple players into dealing with Messi, but that just...

Wouldn't worry about any transfer stuff in January. Looked way too happy to force a move somewhere. Summer is a different thing.

He might be but don't think it would make them any less likely to go for Mac Allister.

Colossal sum of money seems very likely... best wishes I suppose depends on him not leaving for Chelsea...

Of course he will be off in the summer

Will be good to see him on the pitch again. I have low expectations though after seeing several players who went far in the WC have really miserable games in the last few days.

Because other clubs didn't let their players have two weeks off.

Don't think they need him. Jonny Howson is quite solid in that role.

Good. Kind of expected though. Bloke was given 14 days off and is now returning after 14 days.

Beautiful But yeah obviously disappointing and surprising he's not finishing his vacation a day early on some airplane at New Years Eve since that would be useful for exactly no-one. I'm sure he'll be back in the next few days.

Whether he is better or not than Kante is not very relevant as he's an aging man who has been injured all season and played not so well last season when he was half-injured. They also need more midfielders than just one. I think Ali Mac is good enough for top 4. He'd struggle with game time in...

Disagree with all of this. He's better than all of their midfielders (except maybe for a fit Kovacic). The equation "they're playing Loftus-Cheek nearly every week but Alexis isn't good enough" is not working for me. Also don't think he's a confidence player at all, rather the opposite. Win or...

Based on a rumour in the Gazzetta... which is basically worse and less truthful than any English tabloid.

Yup it does, but if TB wants him in another country rather than in a competing club then Brighton might have to accept a lower fee than otherwise. But £35m is still low and not happening unless there is a really, really fat sell-on fee.

It is fairly likely that it includes some kind of clause that limits how much Albion can get for him. Or it would have been frankly f***ing stupid for him to sign it. But lets just not think too much about that.

That is not an actual quote.

£45m... they'll get his dads hairdo for that fee.

Struggle to see him making a sideways move like that

Two weeks off after the final should mean he'll be back in Brighton by then but would be surprised to see him in the matchday squad until Boro in the cup. Expect him in the starting lineup against Liverpool.
