Talking of Ali Mac, wasn’t there a thing about him playing for the U23s around the time we signed him too? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

thanks Sherlock.
Yeh I can’t believe you didn’t know this. He’s stood on the football with both feet. He’s not actually trying to dribble round the player he is taking the mick. He has stood on the football. It is not normal. It is a piss take thing. It’s not a skill.

Even if it WAS PB, he'd still be pre-medical, according to that tweet. Unless the tests had been completed mega quickly!

I still believe he’s flying over like so many of the chancer ‘journos’ on Twitter said 🤣 Love it when minor details uncover the frauds!

It’s a delayed done deal isn’t it?

Yawn. I'm bored of this one now it is in the bag. Who is next, is what I want to know. That Cypriot shark fisher sounded good, what happened with him?

I guess it depends on how fit we expect Lamptey to be for the rest of the season. Lallana’s experience, knowledge and leadership could be vital from the bench to see out a game.

I didn’t realise ALs only mins in the Europa League came in the home game against Marseille, but I believe he was still vital in beating them. It was his quick flick to Ferguson that led to the goal for Pedro.
Ahem, it was a flick to Pascal, who put JP in. So (yet) another assist for Gross.
Really agree on Lallana against Marseille: thought he was sensational in that game. It's really tough to leave players out, although Dahoud is the likeliest. I think Lallana and Lamptey are two of the next most likely candidates, and would prefer Lallana drops out because:
-- he'll take it better, and doing so to Lamptey will be akin to writing him off
-- we need more cover at FB rather than ACM
I take your point about experience, but not sure why Lallana can't become one of the coaching staff for EL games.

This from a Boca fan on the Man Utd forum back in September

I hope we keep him at least one more year.

He is a strange player, he started as fullback but defensivly he was easily overpowered many times.
He is extremely confident since a very very early age, specially regarding taking on players, or flamboyant stuff. That is the sign of a a special player.

Yet:
1. His physique is quite a question mark...he needs to get stronger, not that much anymore if he starts to play as a midfielder
2. His entourage regarding transfers, ownership, it's since day one quite discouraging like the usual nowadyas stuff of financial Groups "owning" players since a very uyoung age...too many talks about him since 16, it's a very problematic enviroment
3. He has lost too many matches to mature these last years mainly because of the above situation, that also includes Boca being quite stupid or confusing too.
3. He doesn't have a role, he really doesn't

So he is a mistery with a very noticeable talent and skills and winner attitude, yet to many questions around him
