Maxi Rodriguez?

[Dim Glas]

BBC saying £55m?

BBC all over that when it comes to Liverpool!  Yesterday headlines of Bellingham to Madrid - quoting only the initial fee, today Mac Allister to Liverpool, not quoting the initial fee!

[MJD-L4]

Welcome Alexis!

Looking forward to watching him grow in an LFC shirt

[Musketeer Gripweed]

I thought he older than 24 for some reason. An even better signing than I first realised then. Top stuff.

Next.

[Draex]

Such an exceptional signing at all levels, exactly what the team has been missing.

Oh yeah, thanks!

Pellegrino too.

We haven’t had many though. I liked Insua and he left when Hodgson bought Konchesky which always felt a backward move but only Masch and briefly Maxi have been a success. We’ve had a lot better track record with Brazilians. Feels like it’s been the other way round with Man United.

[AmanShah21]

Think it's £35m initially and can reach £55m if he hits all the add-on clauses based on a couple of Brighton fans I saw on Twitter

Doubt it, Romano is absolutely certain it is 35 million. If it's a release clause as everyone seems to agree, I doubt there'd be that much in addons. Perhaps some outlandish clauses like Ballon d'or etc. Added to make it seem like Brighton did not get robbed. For all instance and purposes, this is a 35million deal from most reliable sources.

[jacobs chains]

Very good start to what will hopefully be a big summer.

[JackWard33]

Great deal

He’s 24 year old James Milner basically
Versatile, runs all day, doesn’t get injured, not elite at any one thing but very good at almost everything

[PaddyPaned]

Good signing this - good age, Premier League ready, World Cup winner, goals from midfield, and a decent penalty-taker. Bring in another midfielder, perhaps more defence-oriented and full of energy, and we instantly address the biggest weakness from last season.

[Mighty_Red]

Well that was a bolt from the blue, didn't see this one coming

Welcome welcome Mac 2.0, hope you write yourself into Liverpool legend like Gary did!

[Kennys from heaven]

One down, hopefully three to go...

[amir87]

And boing goes the penis!

[Jean Girard]

Could he be a good outside bet for the new king of the lactate test now JM has abdicated. Huge hole to fill there in preseason week 1.

[ScubaSteve]

Great signing…confident he’ll fit into our system no problem. Nice way to get our summer signings underway

[gray19lfc]

Plenty of time before the season starts for you all to learn his song…

[Mister Flip Flop]

BBC saying £55m?

They always take the negative slant with us. I'm surprised they aren't running a "but but Haaland only cost 55m" article alongside it. Tory bas tards.

Yep..

OptaJoe@OptaJoe
1 - Among players to play 1,000+ mins in the 2022-23 Premier League, Alexis Mac Allister was the only player to average 2+ shots (2.68), 2+ tackles (2.18) and 50+ passes (56.2) per 90 minutes. All-rounder

[lfcthekop]

Im so happy , Cant wait to see him play for us... he's going to be amazing.

[Red-Soldier]

The guys got a great engline.

[oojason]

The BBC corrected their previous inaccurate article (their reported fee for the Mac Allister originally being £55m - it is now been changed to £35m):-

[koptommy93]

BBC saying £55m?

They've changed their headline now to 35 with the potential to go as high as 55. A very good deal for liverpool.

[StevoHimself]

Yep, as well as a few other issues, a big problem with our midfield has been the age range, most either too young or too old. The other two we've looked at are about 22 too.

Great stuff! Gotta be an improvement on what we have .

Someone got a slapped wrist! Amazed they changed it.   But a 20m discrepancy is a quite the difference, and makes little sense on a buy-out clause. That’s quite a big part of them - you pay the fee, and that’s the end of it.

[Roady]

Welcome to our great club young man.

[redk84]

Surprised at that price. Hopefully means allowance for more players....

Although this has happened only a week into the transfer window opening feels like its been going on forever.

Let's hope he can find his rhythmn in this team and be available consistently.

[keyop]

Welcome Alexis. A great piece of business, and he looks the perfect fit for us.

A combative, energetic, midfield playmaker that could be deployed as an 8 or 10 (and possibly a 6 when needed), who scores goals, and is a world cup winner. He fills part of a big void left by ageing or injured players, or players that left this summer. All for a fee that isn't silly money either. Happy days 

Can't wait to see him playing in a Liverpool shirt. Please don't get injured.

[jillcwhomever]

Welcome Alexis looking forward to your debut now.

[duvva 💅]

This feels like a good signing and should improve us plus add a bit more resilience.

Hopefully a couple more will follow
