[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister - *** New Contract Until 2025 ***
- Thread starter ChazzyBHA
- Start date
If IF we're talking about a World Cup winner, you'd want Cucurella money for him?
One other positive from this:-
palace fans seem to have forgotten their log in details - again.
Which is nice.

If it wasn’t for Bissouma leaving he wouldn’t be a starter for the Argies.

Come along way granted yet life without Caceido or Mac would be a tad worrying.

can't see either leaving in January and I would hope we'd have at least one of them going into next season. Big job to replace two potentially world class players in the same part of the pitch

I don't want him to go somewhere just to sit on the bench. Not saying this will happen, but he deserves to start every single time. With his performance at the WC, his age, and how much press he has gotten if you will, anything short of 60m will or at least, should, be shot down by TB.
Give us £90m and maybe they can...Spurs fans think they can get him

You can't say that with any certainty at all.
Mac Allister was starting regularly for us in the second half of last season with Bissouma here. He was getting called up to the Argentina squad because of those performances and there is nothing to say that wouldn't have continued this season. In fact with him still playing the more advanced midfield role that he plays for Argentina and would have been playing for us had Bissouma stayed its very likely he'd have still made the squad. The reason Ali Mac is starting for Argentina is his performances in training with them and taking the chances on the pitch when selected. It has nothing to do with us selling Yves.

To stats reply Argentines would say anulo mufa.
A counter jinx they've been using that seems to be working so far.
Currently in the Dominica Republic. Lots of Argies around. My boy wearing his Brighton shirt. Argies coming up to him because of Mac. Showing them photos of Mac signing his shirt at the Amex. They can’t believe it. Amazing how recognised Brighton have become.
Am I not allowed to be a contrarian?
Time will tell.
For me Argentina are greater than the sum of their parts. A great team with Messi as the stand out. If you look at some of their players they are hardly world beaters at club level. Otamendi is past it , Alvarez barely plays. Romero doesn't always play. Tagliafico not amazing at club level and so on....
Maccer would struggle in a bigger team than us at the moment. Not to say he couldn't in the future.

Disagree with the last line. He would be comfortable in a major European side. Very tidy intelligent player, nothing spectacular.
If he went to a major side he would be competing for a place like he isn't now though. Not a guaranteed starter.
Comparable English player- probably Declan Rice. Although if Mac was English I don't think he would be in the first choice XI, but would play from time to time.
Contract fee- I wouldn't make comparisons to Cuc because Chelsea paid well over the odds. But I wouldn't stop him going for an offer of £60m. I don't think a club will offer more than that. He's a decent player at the highest level, but there would be other non Premier League options around for cheaper fees.
Still he's made a WCF, albeit in a team that took a cheeky route. But he's there, and that makes me happy as an Albion fan. Just needs to score the winner now.

Unlike others who have moved on from the club he is a potential club Captain should Dunk ever step down from the role.
That might not stop him going but it's something that could sway him to also stay longer term.

He was doing fine for us last season too. Bissouma was still here then.............

He is not a big talker though but suppose some captains lead by example rather than words and you couldn't hope for much better in that respect.
Hate to be contrarian, but I think Argentina are a bigger team than Brighton and he's doing pretty well in that team...

Silly old bat
And Alvarez rarely plays? He has 4 goals already only one behind Messi so both contending for the golden boot along with Mbappe.
