Their scouting team played a blinder with this one. Offers not only similar qualities to Henderson but also superior ball-playing abilities.
Alexis Mac Allister | Liverpool watch

Brighton's scouting you mean...
But yeah, how that fee thing happened is anyones guess!

He had a release clause i think.
Mount money + cash.
Should've been all over him that summer. Him & Ugarte makes a really good midfield for what we need now in the middle.

Henderson on his prime (or even today) has a lot more pace and stamina.
It's Alexis's brain what makes him different, of course on combination with great overall skills, stocky build and mean edge

Seemed like such an obvious signing when we spunked money on Mount.
I remember saying we should sign him after the World Cup, only to have people argue that Mount was the better option because he’s a more physical player.
Now, one of my favorite players from my national team is playing for the Scousers, of all people.

Was hoping we would be in for him when he was at Brighton , he was what we were crying out for.
Top quality player.

Love the gritty little fecker, skillfull, yet always delivering what the game needs time and again, specially clever and focus if it's an important/big one.
He also really connects with what the fans need of a player representing them and he loves that responsability.

Feck him
Agreed
Very good player, but the love-in is irritating. It is a United forum after all.
hahaha, touche I get it.. I'm not a United fan, I just post in the forum, I'm struggling with the idea that he could be in Boca right now if we managed better our affairs
He could even have been at United right now if we had not moved for Mount.
Was there ever even a rumour? I can't recall it.
Yeah, we were definitely in the conversation. Perhaps Liverpool were genuinely his first choice. I'm a bit unsure on the specifics.
Didn't know that, yet I did know that Klopp took personal interest in the transfer, later he took him under his wing.
This is very important for any player, to feel that the coah really wants you and have a plan with you and I even thought that Jurgen's departure could become an issue for him, yet Arne took the same approach.
I guess that he is the typical "coach favorite" type of player, it happened to him with Scaloni, De Zerbi, Potter, Jurgen and now Arne.
Brighton quoted us double the fee than they gave to Liverpool. Just like wolves did with Jota to Liverpool for 2 million up front
Thanxs, didn't know that
Great goal today, yet his reading it's sthg. else, such a clever mofo on every little detail. The other day he took KDB for a ride and today Bruno, he is always involved in the particular aspects that are vital in an specific game to win those, a coach among players.
As a side note, I wish his mates return the ball to him a lot more when he goes into the rival's area, he has an eye for the goal or a key pass.
i don’t watch much of liverpool, but when i do, i can guarantee half of that time is watching him roll around on the floor like a bish.
Typical fecking Scotsman
Mac Allister had a release clause...we activated it.
Yes, but that was added specifically for Liverpool when he signed a new contract with Brighton the summer before he left them.
No one reputable reported that, care to provide a source? Also curious as to when Utd were quoted double the price.
With rumours of any transfer costing in the region of £70 million as recently as two weeks ago, the reveal has shocked many.
Mac Allister's £35m release clause
Romano has taken to Twitter to announce that Mac Allister will be moving to Merseyside for £35 million. In terms of the inflated market in football, this must be seen as a bargain.
According to The Athletic, Mac Allister's contract contains a clause that was designed to "help facilitate a move".

Not what I asked for. I know we activated his release clause, I pointed that out to you already.
I'm asking a) how was it exclusive to Liverpool and b) when were Utd quoted double the price?
If Utd listened to Brighton quoting them double the release clause amount and didn't pursue it further, more fool you. Almost definitely didn't happen though.
It's pretty clear the player wanted Liverpool and his agent would've made sure Liverpool knew that and knew the release clause.
I'm not engaging with this any further. Smug Liverpool fans are not my thing.
No, we signed Mount for £55m because ETH had worked with him before and we were signing players on that silly basis.
Wrong. Brighton never quote transfer valuations. That's THE key part of their transfer strategy. And McAllister didn’t have a release clause in his contract but he did have an agreement with Tony Bloom to let him move for a mutually agreed valuation. Despite what you might have read the £35m fee is the base valuation. There are additional clauses totalling a further £20m.
Bucks more or less, I never put much emphasis on what is paid. That's sthg that it's decided by the market in a certain period in general and on particular, by how the parts interact. Hardly the final sum will be "proper", because there isn't such thing and too many variables are playing at the same moment (included in some cases way darker than we can imagine).
For me the most important in why Alexis went to Liverpool, was the involvment of Klopp in it, how he took action and gave confidence to Alexis taht he was wanted to be a real asset for Liverpool. That's on pair of coruse of being part of a huge traditional Club.

Thanks for the clarification. I've been taken in by journalists writing speculative stuff then.
Also, the pro-scouse journalists at the time did their usual thing of claiming the fee was the only amount that would be paid, no add ons mentioned.
Anyway, as good as player as he is, I also think he's one of the biggest injury faking cheats in the league. Pretends his face has been injured when it was his shoulder. Can't stand the cnut to be honest
Surely not liking a bit those Pool Foes doesn't play a part at it? A bit over the top my man.
Old, yet cool vid:
Think I'll pass on watching that one.
He's a weird player to be fanboying about.
You sound fecking delusional.
Hilariously childish response considering you then turned out to be completely wrong and backtracking the following day.
I don't think he was mostly reffering to the player himself, more about where he plays.I might be wrong thought.
In any case I'm far from the fanboying type, meaning being silly, trolling or extreme, because on the other hand I'm a fan of tons of players. While getting older I have become more of a players "fan" than the more tribal Club young self.
Anyway I just really like his progression and the type of player he has become that usually does not get enough credit or exposure, in fact I wasn't quite on the boat for him to go to the WC and he has been shutting my mouth since, let's say he is an adquired taste, only for connoisseurs
