[Albion] Alexis Mac Allister

[Pevenseagull]

Close to being MOM in the world cup final.

Undeniably one of the players of the tournament.

Was an Albion player at the time.

I used to hope than Denny Mundee was going to have a good game against Carlisle.

And do his special trick*

One trick I remember he had was being able to make it from the pitch to the dressing room to the bar with a pint and a fag on the go quicker than myself who was in the stands.

I can’t remember which away game it was, but I had hospitality and after clapping the players off the pitch I made my way to the bar only to see Munday already there, showered (although his shirt with wet patches all over it and his head had beads of sweat on it) with a pint and a cigarette. That’s some going.

BUT - won the World Cup when playing for Brighton & Hove Albion.

That's almost enough for legendary status here.

The fact that he scored some great goals, is an incredibly nice chap and left in the right way gets him over the line.

I very much hope he'll be back here in his 30's doing the sort of stuff Groß did for us in his 30's.

I’m not as annoyed by Liverpool fans as some on here but one of the exceptions is when they harp on about their 35 million bargain basement deal. It would be lovely to know how close we got to the 55 million that was also regularly mentioned at the time of the transfer and if today’s events has sealed that. A few of you with sources at the club must be able to get an inkling pretty please

To be fair, £55m would still qualify as bargain basement in this case.

I have no problem with Liverpool. And was happy that Ali Mac went there (also appreciated them pushing the price of caicedo into the stratosphere). Proper club, run well (now) and even the southern plastic fans are generally less annoying than other clubs ('Brighton Kop' excepted). But I did have to turn of the radio yesterday ahead of the 'big game' as the media wankfest ramped up and Scouser after scouser was interviewed talking about how 'special' they are and how they are different from other clubs and fans and just care more etc etc...

What he did for for Argentina while he was here makes him a club legend already in my eyes. I am so pleased for the little guy who is such a wonderful player and seems like a really nice bloke. Hopefully he will win in Europe next year and the World Club championship after that. (Anything to increase the money Liverpool may still have to shell out for him!)

 

[Hamilton]

Aside from the finances involved, he's becoming a bit of a football legend.

World Cup winner. Now Premier League winner, with a goal in the title winning match.

Unlike a majority of those departing, he left the club on good terms and we would all love him back here one day.

Knowing that he could be earning the club more money just adds further merit to his time at the club, not that it needs it.

He’s an absolute diamond

Absolutely. He left the club on brilliant terms, if I remember correctly the last match he played he left the pitch in tears, was always thankful for his opportunity. Well played RDZ when he came back to the Amex with Liverpool and he called him over to receive the applause he didn't get as the last match with Brighton was away.

If certain conditions are achieved the Albion could receive up to £58.4 million in add on fees from player sales in recent years. One of those conditions *could* be Liverpool winning the Premier League following the sale of Macca. If so some of the contingent asset could be heading south.

Equally Arsenal winning the CL could result in add ons from sale of Trossard and White in terms of the £58m

What sort of chunk of the 58m are we talking for the Liverpool PL win, hypothetically?

 

[Insel affe]

Tall order after Lawro. Except the small matter of a WC.

Lawro means nothing to me, he was before my time really and his ramblings now, have sullied any respect I did have for him.

What was it Naylor’s reported at the time? I can’t remember the exact quote, but he implied that the add-on triggers were fairly realistic. Even Liverpool winning last year’s Carabao cup was supposed to result in a 5m bonus.

Based on previous deals, such as Ulloa and Barnes, they’re probably mostly based on percentage of appearances and league positions/European qualification over a 2 year period. Mac being a regular starter in a team winning the PL must’ve triggered most, if not all, of the clauses.

I'd guess 2-5m, but that's just a guess. Hoping we got a sell on in too!

They got a great deal, but Albion did ok too.

He wouldn’t have signed a new contract without a (modest) release clause, so we could have lost him for nothing.

We got several seasons out of him. He was a slower starter than most, partly due to COVID.

Hope Tony/Barbs/Dave Weir included a chunky sell-on fee in the deal...

The James Milner of 2038?

I'd like to think that he has the grace and common sense to hang up his boots long before then.

On the one hand plaudits to James Milner for carrying on, but his contribution in games and fitness levels have fallen away alarmingly, and it's been a very long time now since he last took to the field.

Not exactly - he had decent games against Everton and Man U, then got injured early on v Arsenal.

 

[GJN1]

Max payable is £563,83,000 …I wonder what Albion achievements trigger these pay outs?

That's either a lot of money or not as much as we first thought.

The odd ok game l grant you, but not nearly enough of them in my book. Time for him to mover aside gracefully in my opinion.

Where he does remain useful though, is imparting all of his top flight experience to the younger players in the squad. I think he may well still have a part to play at the club in and around the dressing room and training ground, but not starting games.

Agreed, but is it value for money when we have other experienced folk around the club? Nice for a while but I think his wages could now be spent better elsewhere.
