2024/25 Charly Alcaraz



Gonna be an Odemwingie situation with him sat in the Finch Farm car park waiting for Everton to OK it?

This is a really interesting move for me.

I thought two years ago he looked decent in a terrible Southampton team, scored a couple of goals but for some reason could never get a run of starts. Even when they dropped to the championship he wasn't really playing much...then Juventus took him on loan!

Wants another go in Europe and I think him and Ndiaye in the same three behind the forward could be really interesting so as punts go this isn't a bad one as he already has prem experience and only 22.

I'd love to know more of what actually happened at Southampton. They signed him in January 2023 on four and a half year deal. He then signed a five year deal in October 2023. Then went on loan to Juve in Jan 2024 and then they sold him to Flamengo for similar fee to what they paid in August 2024. Flamengo now loaning him back out.

Kid's had an odd career so far so he needs to find a stable home where he can play week in week out. 18 games and 4 goals last time he was in the prem. Pretty good considering Saints finished 20th by a distance.
He joined in January and played 18 of the remaining games that season. Which must have been most of them. Then played 23 the following season in the championship up to January. You said he didn’t get many stats yet figured in virtually every game,
Surely he didn’t come off the bench 40 times
 

Apologies if this has already been posted but had a look at the only Southampton forum I'm aware of and it has plenty of opinion on him from page 6 when he started playing:


First comment loves his bravery, runs and not afraid to get shots away.

"Full of energy and got a turn of pace."

Pretty much all liked him and him being benched in the championship was due to Russell Martin not rating him amusingly.

Think Moyes may just have a new Cahill to play with...
