What if he just turns into a solid Premier League squad player for us rather than turn into Rooney or Barkley? Is that an issue?

He definitely 100% doesn’t.

So? Are you one of these people that lives on a planet where a young player has to be either the next Rooney or “not good enough lad not even League 1 level lad get rid of him lad”. Personally I struggle to believe that there is no way he...

Because he’s on huge wages and will want security to match what he’s got at West Ham. Alcaraz is probably one of our lower paid players, so from his point of view a shorter deal that can be renegotiated in 1 or 2 years to bring his wages up made...

Nobody is making out that he’s a Rooney level talent, not one single soul.

Fair enough I made assumptions that weren't accurate my bad

I think he's a bit better but at the same time not someone I'd like to be signing unless it's on a free.

And my post didn’t mention the article, it specifically said “if we signed Soucek”. I’m not saying we are definitely signing him. I don’t think we will and am happy about that.

He would be first team up until the moment Moyes left, which will be some time in the next 2 years, and then we’d be left with a 32 year old on £100k a week who’s surplus to requirements with probably another 2 years left on his contract. Let’s...

If we signed Soucek, what would that have to do with Henry Wilkinson?

I would be concerned that there is no long term planning or strategy in place if we spent significant money on Tomas Soucek if I’m being brutally honest.

Or a Schneiderlin/Delph-esque expensive old flop that gives up 2 months in. Could easily picture that tbh.

How on Earth would Bobble know what Moyes has planned for Alcaraz next...

Derby fans would probably disagree with you that he can’t progress the ball up the pitch.
