Alexis Mac Allister | Liverpool watch
- Thread starter Dans
- Start date
İn Turkish "doğan" means "born from", and "oğlu"or "oğlan" means "son". I'm half Turkish.
Was hilarious. The missus came down at one point and was asking wtf they were on about
Makes sense, maybe a long term relationship where you don't have to be careful with words.
Its just like "I won the world cup"
Well, who can blame him, he surely was very happy and wanted to keep the party going on
Only if we agree to split the 9% with us in recognition of his shared Scottish and Irish ancestry. I mean this bloke must have Scottish blood coursing through his veins.
Feck off! If he (Alexis) missed a penalty yesterday he’d be 100% Irish.Fascinating. Are you familiar with Hedo Türkoğlu, the former basketball player for the Sacramento Kings? He had a massive impact on the team during its glorious run in the early 2000s.
No sadly I'm not (but will do some research on him now). His surname roughly translates to "son of a Turk"!
I'm weirdly fascinated with Hedo. Like homeless version of Jokic, without the rebounding and defense
Hahahaha. But that's just a mistranslation.

Vamos carajo = Let's fecking go.
Thought it might be a mistranslation from auto translate. A weird one for social media when you can just say it to them in person
cannot post media but Mac Alllisters return to brighton was pretty awesome.
That is so pure and beautiful- well done Brighton!!
In contrast, Spurs boo’d Romero off the pitch yesterday!
Who else thinks he would be a good addition to our midfield? Also would be nice to get an Irishman in the team after so long 
Love that.
You misspelled "Scotsman". HehWho else thinks he would be a good addition to our midfield? Also would be nice to get an Irishman in the team after so long
You clearly didnt get the news Pigeon old mucker
I think we should consider him if De Jong is not attainable, he could be excellent alongside Cas, let's see how he performs for the rest of the season.
Would rather get him rather than Enzo. But he will surely cost absurd money.
Enzo, De Jong and Bellingham are all great players and will cost an arm and a leg, so is any quality CM player who is contracted to his current club on a long term, so the question is, is Mac-Allister good enough to play and help us to compete for trophies, if the answer is yes, then we just pay what BHA deem acceptable.
Yeah, my reasoning is I would rather spend 100m euros on a top quality striker rather than a top quality cm next season. Priorities, unless we got a super rich owner.
Which I think we will get.
Could be great competition for Eriksen which we desperately need.
It's difficult to tell just how good any of these Brighton players actually are individually because their system is so good. Will Mac Allister, Caicedo, Trossard etc. look as good once you've taken them out of Brighton's system? I'm not so sure, look at how poor Cucurella has been for Chelsea.
Given how Mac Allister played at the World Cup we can definitely remove his question mark
Yeah I think the World Cup performances is the answer here. I don't think anyone can question his technical ability.
A poor man's Stephen Ireland
He does give off Liverpool vibes.
Ooooioh. Harsh. Mind you, he does have an Irish great great great great Granny, so there is that.
Happy they are going for that level of player rather than the top drawer. He’s good but his status is being elevated because he’s a World Cup winner.
He's really good, but for the likely high price, I'd be happy to skip on him. If the reported price for Maddison is accurate, I'd be more interested in exploring that option.
Caicedo is the midfielder to be plucking from this Brighton side. He elevates the levels of everyone around him.

MEN stated United already held talks back in March, seems like quite comfortable situation for Ten Hag in having more than one option to choose from in the summer.
Won't even take it with pinch of salt, because this sounds actually realistic option opposed to wait for Frenkie... and as for price problem, just look at Grealish deal, or Maddison's upcoming move, how much it will cost.
Take the relatively young player with winning WC experience now or take risk and try finding someone substantially better, very likely for also elevated price, perhaps even higher.

The new Gary McAllister?
He's okay, nothing spectacular but would be good for Liverpool - assuming they bring in two other midfielders to play alongside him.
I wouldn't judge him on the World Cup as international football is a step down from top level club football.
His performances week in, week out for Brighton would be the key for me. My hunch is he would be a useful addition about the same level as Sabitzer but he wouldn't be someone we could expect to usurp Casemiro, Eriksen or Bruno in the midfield 3.

Suits Liverpool's system very well sadly I think he will be a success there. For me we need a different type of midfielder, a more controlling presence like De Jong or Kroos.
Case's & Eriksen's best years are behind. If club have some better midfielders in mind, it would be a good time to hurry and get the players before others will.
I agree completely, which is why I think it is critical we spend the money shrewdly on the next players we recruit.
We don't want to be in a situation where we are having to completely overhaul the midfield from scratch.
Eriksen and Casemiro were savvy short term signings but we need to find players of equal quality who are a bit younger and there for the long haul.
That won't be cheap.
