[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***
- Thread starter ChazzyBHA
- Start date
I guess the flip side is if we get relegated he’ll never play for us anyway.
Selfishly I would bring him back as we need to freshen the team. He’s our player.

A winner against West Ham would be kinda nice
To send them down. The irony would be palatable.

I think the ideal plan went out the window when we found ourselves deep in the relegation mix and all of our linked targets started to be hoovered up by other clubs.
So as risky as it is I think the club should take a gamble here as the alternative could be us out of the premier league and we won’t have to worry about when he is ready to play for us at all.
Given this appears to be one option that has not been completely written off by the club or journos yet says that could be the way the club are looking at the situation as well.
Potter needs options and if we can’t buy new ones we might be left calling some of our loans back to the club

Tremendous work.
There's a few on here that could do with that as a new user name. Me included.

I really don't know how much credibility we should give this website, but if his father's comments are to be believed then we might have a problem in the summer:
http://sportwitness.co.uk/players-father-confirms-offer-brighton-says-work-permit-issue/
"Something interesting claimed by Carlos is that Mac Allister only has a work permit for the next six months, and it’s not guaranteed he’ll be in the same position at the start of next season.
“Today he does not have a community (EU) passport and we don’t know if the permit will be granted after June. Why? Because today, the FA gives it to him for having played most of the games of the last tournament, because he started semifinals of Copa Libertadores, because he was called up to the national team and because Brighton are willing to grant him a special contract that is required. We don’t know if all these conditions are going to happen in June. That’s the only issue that makes noise today.”"
I can't think that these conditions are going to change too much between now and the summer, but it is a concern.

Sorry probably already covered but why can't he get a Scottish passport?
Ancestry too distant.

So Mr Naylor says no firm decision yet, interesting.
"- No definite decision yet on Alex Mac Allister staying at Boca or coming to England after work permit secured"

I'm sure Mac's dad is asking the club how much his Under 23 Argentinian poster boy will play if he jumps ship form Boca "68 times Argentina title winners" to BHA?
We have come a long ****ing way from Priestfield

I really don't believe Albion's big cheeses are undecided on what to do with Mac Allister right now.
If nothing else, surely someone has a coin they could toss to come up with a decision.

One "would" like to think this is all dependent on signings or signing that is in negotiation currently that we know nothing about.
If that target falls through, we will drag Alexis kicking and screaming to the Amex, where he will sulk until the end of the season and then return to Argentina....
