2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[Street end man]

Teach him to batter the corner flag Moysie. This is history repeating itself.
He made big bad bollocked Dan Burn look like a dwarf without a clue

tv lineups suggested

Harrison N'Diaye Alcaraz

But that wasn't right was it.

 

[maccavennie]

Hopefully he will be even better with better players around him.

He's got a very good partnership with Beto, and Ndiaye ain't getting dropped. That just leaves 1 more playing partner on the right required.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Which is pretty much covered by us finishing 13th as opposed to 17th

His 2 goals were both winning goals, 6 points gained. Basically pays for his fee.

This gets at something that's pretty big for me: if both Beto and Charly are starting in the middle, it's going to give the opposing center halves nightmares. Both are just constantly running at you - with or without the ball - and if they're not running by you, they're both apt to make you feel it the next day. Meanwhile you can't even get the ball off Ndiaye half the time, even if you try and foul him. Just seeing the three of them on the team sheet, everybody in the league is going to know they're in for a rough afternoon in every way possible.

I don't know how to deal with these feelings of hope going into next year.

imagine if we had a fast right winger as well

He's got a very good partnership with Beto, and Ndiaye ain't getting dropped. That just leaves 1 more playing partner on the right required.

A Beto or Delap up top will leave defenders with a few bruises.

Alcaraz & Ndiaye just run directly towards goal and must frighten defences.

If we can bring in that elusive player on the right then we'd be a threat across all 4 attacking positions.

Alcaraz is a bargain and takes our team up a level. He's like a Cahill/Richarlison hybrid.

So glad he got a deserved goal

 

[USABlue]

would love to keep him

 

[DaChunk]

The fume if everton balls this up...

 

[Gilbert..]

Must sign.

Struggled to get a regular position but no Doucs and him playing that role and it was a brilliant second half. Him and Ndiaye gives a genuine threat on the counter for first time in many years, just need to sign a rapid RW now.

It sounds ridiculous even typing this as it should be basic stuff. But even that shot he had that pope saved. He travelled 25/30 feet with the ball and never looked uncomfortable. If thats doucoure he's either falling over or the ball is bouncing off his shins.
Basic stuff for many other clubs but we've been deprived of players who can carry the ball with threat.

 

[COYB75]

I’d be amazed if we don’t sign him now. MoM against a Champions League placed team and looked to be the best player on the pitch. Clearly loves playing for us well, which isn’t an always given these days. Sign him up Moysie.

 

[Miked1e]

Please sign him….

 

[Terrarian]

has he signed yet, FFS Friedkins, why haven't we bought a new squad yet, shoddy

 

[Bedfordblue]

Just watched the MOTD highlights, his movement for the goal was magnificent, dragged his defender deep and then ran into the space.

Good to see Myko getting on the overlap a few times too and putting crosses in. No doubt Moyes will be getting him doing that more often than he was given license to under Dyche.

….i do wonder if he’ll be more effective away from home, breaking against the opposition as opposed to trying to break teams down. Terrific yesterday.
