[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***

[Farehamseagull]

He is class in every position, what a player.

I love him in that 6 position as his reading of the game, vision and passing is absolutely superb but he can also put his foot in in a classic Argentinian way. In the first half against against Southampton he totally bossed the game from that position, was a joy to watch.

One year left on his contract. We need to get him tied down for longer. Grown into one of my favourite players

Absolutely and same here.

I think he’s going to the top. Watching him last week I was thinking with the way he plays he would fit perfectly into both of the Man City and Liverpool midfields.

So Potter says MacAllister has recently played as a six, an eight and a ten. Are we really supposed to know what that means? And who decided the apparent roles of these numbers? Before anyone reminds me I do know that six was left half, eight inside right, and ten inside right in the olden days.But what's the relevance to the present day?

6 = defensive midfielder
8 = box to box
10 = in the hole

Aren't 8 & 10 the same?

The guy is an insane talent. I think it’s easy to overlook him with the likes of Cucu and Moises emerging, but this guy has it all.

Potentially positive news of contract extension. I know Sports Witness is not that reliable but:

Also mentions contract end in 2024, when others on here mentioning 2023. Is it because he singed in January, so goes to Jan 2024?

His contact expires Jun 2023. He signed a 4.5 year deal when he joined in January 2019.

I'd just like to add my own slice of man love for our wonderful Argentine midfielder. Visually and statistically our most improved player and balls the size of hot air balloons to take another penalty after missing one in the same game and score it.

6 = defensive midfielder
8 = box to box
10 = in the hole

I thought this was common knowledge for anyone who's kept up with the game. Although, [MENTION=144]goldstone[/MENTION] 's use of "left half" etc suggests he hasn't.

In my day centre halves wore 6 and midfielders wore 4

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

A contract extension for MacAllister would be as good news as any signing. He's growing into this league all the time and has a great chance of playing world cup football for Argentina later in the year

But do we have an unnounced option for an extra year, which seems very common in our contracts

 

[dazzer6666]

Fantastic player…….can tackle, pass and shoot pretty much as well as anyone we have and hard as nails too. Integral part of the first XI

Deeeaaaannnnooooo

Always have in my mind that Liverpool began the demise of the old numbers when they let the late great Ray Kennedy wear the 5 shirt

Always have in my mind that Liverpool began the demise of the old numbers when they let the late great Ray Kennedy wear the 5 shirt

but that was in a team where a lot of the players could play in any number of roles...

No, Everton beat them to doing that - their CBs back in the late 60s (the days of 4-4-2 and 4-3-3) were Brian Labone (no.5, of course, the right number for a centre half) playing alongside John Hurst (no.10)!

 

[Frankworthington]

The most important business we can do this summer is getting Mac to extend his contract. The guy is class.

The most complete player I have seen in the stripes

 

[albionalex]

I would hope we're already well into negotiations with him.

 

[Stat Brother]

Just a quick word on Jocko.

'Alexis, no Tross today so push on and support DW'.
'Alexis change of plan, now I need you to sit back and support Dunk'.


Absolutely seamless.
