2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

I wonder how much his wages are and whether it's a way of getting around the loan rule that would have affected this player?

Still a cost we could have seen put toward a player who they do want to sign.

He's 22 and hasn't even pulled on the shirt yet. Let's just see.

Absolute snip...Sign him up.
He is going to be a star.

He's becoming so emo at this point, I just envision him writing angsty poetry while sitting on a gravestone in his local cemetery

Bielsa can speak English he just chose not to where the media were concerned.

Didn't pochettino do the same while at Southampton ?

He’ll be sound. All the other lads just need to speak loudly and use lots of hand gestures.

Always serves me well abroad.

One or two in particular, I'd wager.

25 years in the case of a couple of friends of mine. His directions technique for taxi drivers is perfect, if they don't understand, say it louder (shout).

Sadly, this is the case with Brits in many countries... embarrassing and rude actually. In the countries I have lived and worked in I have always made an effort and dOne OK

 

[Ged G]

You can communicate quite a lot without words, especially in Sport. The struggle will be the tactics I suspect - but he will know enough from Southampton & Moyes will know enough from Spain to be able to manage.

I imagine the harder thing will be the day to day stuff and not hearing Spanish at all. I assume the club will get him a liaison.

He probably knows enough but not enough for a TV interview or is not confident

 

[Ged G]

The downside is they've wasted a lot of money on finding out what the rest of us can see via his time at S'ton and his stats.

He's a Championship player.

"what the rest of us can see".... speak for yourself, no for "us". And I bet Moyes can certainly see more than you or any of us...

 

[Ged G]

Heard him say in an interview he tried to learn some Spanish but wasn’t very good at it. Imagine he would have picked up a few bits though.

I bet Charly is better at English than Moyes is at Spanish...

 

[bluerobert]

A few I believe, I’ve only heard about her from a Red fan unsurprisingly!

Understandable when out of towners come to sample the delights of the city

 

[Ged G]

Yes he use to read the forecast on his days of SCORCHIO Was the only Spanish he needed

Scorchio was Italian

Not that it matters, but a lot of websites say Charly is 5'9", and I've seen some folks post that here as well. Transfermarkt has him at 6', and that matches the photos, both past and present. He's clearly more than half a head taller than Messi, and about the same height as Doucouré, whom he may replace behind the striker.

I bet Charly is better at English than Moyes is at Spanish...

I'd imagine you're right.

Not keen on a mandatory purchase based on starts tbh. Could tie us in a bit of a knot towards the end of the season if he’s putting in 6 out of 10 performances. (Which I expect tbh)
