Hindsight is 20/20. If we had battled Brighton for MacAllister everyone would have said we had no ambition. At the time GLC looked to be a good buy and most people on this board were excited for it

Sure to some degree its a moot point, but in other ways, though very difficult to predict, these are not random throws of the dice.
At the time there were at least some of us warning that Lo Celso was a redundant buy at CAM, that he was too small and not of the style to play CM, and that he would not be a success for us there in the prem- and we turned out to be right.
Brighton had by that time apparently learned how to spend 7m better than we how to spend 42m- the equivalent of 6 tries for a MacAllister. Its definitely worth it for the club to reflect on why that is, and see if they can improve.
Yeah, but if Lo Celso had been fit he would have started every game and MacAllister would only have got scraps...he's a bit like Hurst, got all the glory because Greaves was injured for the final...
He wasn't. He just tagged along anyway.
How He get a medal? Did they still have him listed in the squad?
I assumed it was Messi's medal.
Probably listed him as a member of staff, that's how Aguero got a medal.
Yes and there's every chance Lo Celso would've played in the World Cup including the final...if he wasn't injured as usual... and therein lies the main problem with him.
It's Messi's medal. He's just doing a John Terry but without being in the squad.
Aguero was also there and he's retired.
Lo Celso was a typical Levy signing. We were being linked with Bruno Fernandes but Levy went for a cheaper version in GLC.
I agree with that 100%
He would have been dropped after their first game
Always thought it was known to be a Poch choice.
Who knows. Probably would've got injured, I'll give you that.
Poch was key for getting Lo Celso on board but we only looked at him after we fucked the Fernandes deal by dithering over the cost
Played every game except one in last years Copa America, MacAllister wasn't even in the squad...
Another one we are going to struggle to off load
yup, I for one was glad we finally got it over the line. Not because I had seen and knew anything of the player but because he was our long-term target and a player the manager wanted. At the time the transfer fee was big so I assumed it was going to be a great signing.
Me too. Though I wanted Fernades more. Pound for pound an even worse buy that N'dombele.
