[Albion] Where is Alexis going? (Liverpool - for an undisclosed fee...)

[phoenix]

Bloody glad to see this thread get back on track after it was derailed.

Nearly all the threads get derailled nowadays sadly.

Yeah, we really messed up by making massive profits on White, Cucarella, Trossard, Bissouma, Burn and Mac Allister. Non league, as you say.

Massive profits on trossard burn biss ok

Interesting they’ve given him the number 10 shirt too. I hope for his sake they don’t think they’re signing an elite number 10 position wise or their fans are going to be disappointed.

Maybe that's why the alleged 35m fee. The other 20m in add ons is if they play him in his proper position...

In all seriousness, even though we've known for months he was going I'm still surprisingly sad now it's come to pass. I'm going to miss him, I think he's my favourite player since Zamora

 

[Goldstone1976]

Thank you for everything, Alexis. A fantastic player and a thoroughly decent human being too. You brought so much to the Albion; I’ll be forever grateful. Good luck.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I'm so pleased that Ally Mac's dad has got the big-money move he always wanted.

Alexis was happy to stay, but the financial needs of the family come first, it seems.

Shadow, contemplating loss.

He’s no Solly but he is up there!

Now to tell the kids after school, there will be tears! And his kit will probably end up at the back of the cupboard along with their White and Burn tops! I think the Lallana and March ones are safe for a bit though!

Best of luck to him, magnificent for us

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Best of luck to him, nothing but superb for us a model professional and it was a privilege to see him in the Albion kit.
Who would ever have thunk it, a World Cup winner at Thee Albion....

 

[A1X]

Sad he's gone. Gutted he went there.

Thanks Alexis.

It seems clear the "release clause" was a mechanism which specified £35m cash and add-ons to be negotiated based on our valuation of the player. So it both is and isn't a release clause.

Interesting that Fibz is one of the few sources that still hasn't referred to the add-ons on this deal ( he has on other deals).
I think Naylor may have got under his skin.

Yeah seems pretty clear Fab is holding on to the £35m idea and purposely not reporting the add ons that all other journalists and sports publications mention just so he can claim he was right.

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.

White, Burn, Mac Allister. I've spotted the theme. For the love of God don't get them a Caicedo shirt!

[Uh_huh_him]

Well the good thing about it being Liverpool, is he will probably come back to us, on a free, at the end of his contract....

 

[willalbion]

Did anyone really expect him to stay? Seemed he only had eyes for the 'pool. No other bids. Thanks for the memories Alexis. Gonna be very painful watching him line up against us.

Not sure if this has already been posted

Lovely bloke, cracking footballer, sad to see him go and he'll get a big old clap from me when he comes back
