2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[blue in oxford]

nice to see him staying young legs but has plenty of experience.
2 years seem short contract but hopefully will prove himself to get another contract or make profit.

Underwhelmed.

Thought we could have done better, tbh.

That's a great price for his age and the bits of quality he has shown. We need to build a squad

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Every chance they'll have an option of another year.

 

[Clarky cat]

2 year deal, 1 year work permit.

Leaving aside the 2 year length of the deal, I see him drifting in and out of games and we need a lot more consistency from our first team players.

He's decent but I cant say he's that signing that gets you thinking we might be moving into a different category of club anytime soon.

Weird that everyone’s assuming the 2 year deal is something the club has instigated rather than the player. He’s 22 and we’re his 5th club, maybe he and his agent want him to keep moving.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Fingers crossed there’s method in the madness!

If we’re doing a deal that on the face of it is disadvantageous for PSR then that seems like a positive. It suggests we are confident in our headroom from the next FY.

2 years is just weird. Feels like an expensive loan. If he plays well next year he is holding all the cards next Summer.

Can’t believe it. Should be 3 years minimum with the option of another year. We are going to be in the same boat next summer trying to get him to sign another contract. 2 years makes no sense to me at all. Some under 21s have longer contracts than this.

Two years is odd. Surely there is an option for a third year. Its not a great vote of confidence and almost like saying we don't expect his value to increase much so that we have to protect the asset.

He would have taken any offer to stay I imagine. I still don't think Moyes is convinced and that this is a compromise of views.

Can we as a club afford/attract the sort of players, particularly in his position, that don't drift in and out of games? Name some names that are not already at clubs in a higher category than us. Even the likes of Cherki are off to City.

 

[Thomasc]

Not arsed about the length of the deal.

Pros and cons with tying players into long contracts.

 

[Librarian]

Does he technically join us in the next financial year?

One step at a time mate. We need to build a squad with options which we havnt had in god knows how long. Alcaraz can be a very useful player away from home and playing on the counter. Be nice to have different types of players to perform different tasks

We need something to complain about though don't we !!!!!,

Like clockwork
