2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

[zebedee]

It doesn’t make sense for the club. It affects PSR by only amortizing the fee over two years instead of 4-5.

But if the fee isn't that large your not really saving that much. Say 15 mill that's 7.5. if the fee was over say 30 35 100% with you. Get it off the books PDQ makes more sense to me with smaller ones

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.

i would love to hear your opinion on what we should have done wrt to the OOC players, loans etc.

And while we’re at it - Duncan Ferguson: opinions?

I also think Patterson can be our starting RB next season - what do you think?

If it’s 12 million, a 2 year deal is 6 million per. 5 year deal is 2.4 mil. That 3.6 million difference is another 18 million spend this window (3.6 x 5 years).

That’s a decent player.

If we exercise the extra year does it decrease to 4 million per?

I think it is what you file for every FY. So the extra year is not guaranteed.

 

[siddharth]

Super that we got this smashing player. Using FM logic, a shorter contract can mean lower wages than normal or we are making a habit of giving out 3 year contracts at the maximum.

I think theres a question many people have been missing...

What about future years? Because structuring the deal as it is means we have more money for 26/27 and onward. For example if we extend him at some point, for 28/29 his amortization may be 0(or near to it), versus 2.4m. Unless we plan to spend TO THE LIMIT of PSR this window then theres no benefit to a lower hit this year for him. If hes not any good we dont keep him. If hes any good, we will trigger the option clause he will at most cost us 3m per year for 2 years. I think we intend to spend a lot, but I dont think we plan to push the PSR limits this window.

I am sure that Charly will do well and will attract suitors after Year 1, so then what happens? He runs the second year down and gets a big contract elsewhere, maybe. A 2 year contract beats me!

We have an option for a third year which we will trigger if he scores 10 goals and has 15 assists in year 1 so relax...

PSR is only around for another year, might as well go out and smash it to bits, the % to income is coming in next year with our improved income from the new ground and much of the high earners punted it makes sense to give short deals this year, Get him off the books quickley.

I would hope that it’s been sold to him that if he does well in year 1 then we will renegotiate the contract after that for a longer period. Gives him the incentive to want to do well rather than the risk that he doesn’t kick on and we are stuck with a player that we can’t get rid of on a long contract

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Decent backup, assuming we're being serious.

 

[TX Bill]

Thrilled with signing him. Don't get the two years but not gonna argue.

 

[RomanReigns]

Stop crying about the two years

Jeez we’ve signed a player and everyone is moaning about two years

Wouldn't be Everton if there wasn't at least some moaning.
