2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[stretford blue]

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.

Wonder if it's two with an option for us to make it thee

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.

Far better than Doucs - that's a start.....

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.

They’ve realised signing fees are where the money is. Especially his agent.

A little underwhelmed by the 2 years but at least we have a new player done quickly that we know can work & don't have to worry about settling in. He will be here & comfortable day 1 of pre season.

Still doesn’t make sense though, we could agree to pay flamengo in 2 instalments even if we gave him a 5 year contract. It’s just on PSR it would spread over 5. Not sure Flamengo have the power in a transfer deal to stipulate the length of his contract once he isn’t their player.

We don’t know what Thelwell agreed in January. Maybe one of Everton or Alcaraz didn’t want to have five years in an option attached to the loan so they brokered 2. Therefore the deal is he has his loan and if you trigger the option it’s this price and this is the deal.

If we then went back to them and said we’re not triggering the option maybe they say ‘fine his price is 20 mill and other clubs are also interested and you don’t have exclusivity any more’

Who knows though but from the wording of the announcement it sounds as though the club have just triggered something that was pre-existing.

Maybe want to ensure the next manager isn’t hamstrung with Moyes squad.

 

[SJB]

Looking at it from the players point of view, if he has a belting first season it puts him in a very strong negotiating position for a new improved contract next summer.

 

[SJB]

Maybe want to ensure the next manager isn’t hamstrung with Moyes squad.

He's not a Moyes signing, deal was already agreed when Moyes arrived.

Heads battered, what's the thinking there?

2 years makes sense. If things don't work out for whatever we aren't stuck with a long term contract.

Seems pretty clear. People are making the mistake of thinking we are the only one who decides what the deal is too

Not in my eyes in a year's time the player and agent could well have us over a barrel, let's face it if he does well other teams will be all over him. Maybe that's what the player and his agent want though.

 

[BigBeto1]

When the club made the loan signing they probably considered it a 3 year deal with the intention to always pull the trigger, was probably agreed with the player and agent too back in Jan

It wasn’t, he signed on deadline day.
