2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[SuperKev91]

I didn't think he had a poor game at all myself mate, thought he gave us something we haven't had in a long time and that's natural transition through that central channel. I dont think we win last week without it. Thus saying earlier he impacts games.

Sure, no need to rush. Take all the time the confines of the deal allow, but if he continues on his current trajectory - then its a very good value deal.

Dont think its a good comparison between him and Gomes, Gomes was believe it or not one of the costliest players ever to play for this club, about 12 mill a season all in or just shy. This lad will be coming in at something like £5 mill.

Just thinking to myself this morning deals like Garners, N'Diaye and this lads are incredible good value investments in our much maligned recruitment.

A poor game? Seriously? I thought he was fine - nowhere near poor by our current standards. Saying he was amazing would be an overreaction, but calling his performance poor is just as much of an overreaction imo.


The only criticism I can give him is he took a couple shots when he should’ve passed. He grew into the game though and was arguably MOTM, second only to Beto.

It’s a subjective game isn’t it but I didn’t think he impacted us a lot with or without the ball (bar obviously the two key moments!).

He’ll grow into it no doubt.
