I believe so yes, it does seem that way.
I do think Alexis probably wanted to leave but was pushed towards it, his dad hasn’t covered himself in glory.
Indeed, Alexis is better deeper than further forward, I thought he was very average in that 10 position myself that he played when he came back from the WC
Consummate professional? ???
Having your dad meet representatives of other clubs whilst your employed by another club, then inserting a clause that allows your immediate transfer when the said club comes in, knowing this clause, is hardly professional is it.
I mean I wouldn’t boo but the holier than thou view of Ali some people have is really strange, his dad has obviously been flouting him around, knowing the release clause in his contract.
That’s poor by anyone’s standard, and it’s important to remember Mac definitely knew this was happening, if...
It’s sad really.
Yes I know who we are bla bla bla but it’s such a shame to see him go, and not even to a team playing in the CL next season…
Call my cynical or fickle but I think his dad has been playing the strings in the background for ages wanting this move and he’s got his wish, Alexis...
Have you ever heard of a release clause that’s anything like what he said? :lolol:
On a day where there is pink elephants flying north, when the sun and the moon are in perfect alignment Alexis will be allowed to leave, furthermore if he has hair longer than 1/16th inch around the circumference...
In the history of football I’ve never heard of or seen another clause where the parameters you’ve mentioned would be included. It’s just nonsensical.
All I can imagine this would have done is piss the club off as it would have made it obvious Mac/his family have been talking to Liverpool...
Moises caicedo agent got trashed on here for wafting Moises around like a piece of meat and almost forcing his sale, Macs parents have been courted by Liverpool supposedly since late last year, it just doesn’t sit right with me.
A fantastic player but IMO I find it strange people acting as...
Section C1 of the FA rules, meanwhile, prohibits a player who is under contract, or his agent, from talking to other clubs, or being approached by other clubs, without the consent of the player's current club.
Indeed, if your father goes behind the clubs back and meets representatives of other clubs who might be interested in you, then the deal will be done a lot smoother.
If it was under/around 45m then why are other clubs not coming in? Just doesn’t make sense, there’s so many things about this that just don’t make sense in the slightest.
Yes Ali is a fantastic bloke and a fantastic player but you can’t tell me how his father has acted throughout this is...
If there’s a release clause and terms are agreed then why are they ‘hopeful’
Nobody knows, except the club and probably Liverpool, especially not berks on twitter
Are you a half Liverpool fan by any chance? You sound like the scousers on twitter, if it’s that simple why isn’t he already gone?
Personal terms have been agreed for weeks according to that twunt Romano
Why would we agree to a new contract WITH a release clause for a player that was only going to increase in value?
It makes literally no sense why the club would have agreed to that, would have been better off keeping him on his old contract
People keep sarcastically saying this, and yet still there’s zero confirmation from any ACTUAL club sources there has been a bid let alone the fact there is an apparent release clause.
I’m sure Alexis could have stopped his father and family angling for the move by (according to if you believe Romano) meeting with other clubs since January.
I love Alexis but find the idea that just because he’s played for us and acted respectfully in himself, that he’s somehow earned a move away.
