2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

[TheBlueBlitzer]

….he’s certainly a better no10 but he’s still an attacker and should be able to adapt to a wider role if that’s what his team needs and he’s less effective there.

I always think that when you’re in a different position, put yourself up against your opposite number for the first 20mins or so. He should have enough about him to do a job, he’s a talented footballer and he puts in a shift but was chasing shadows at times.

The problem with him trying to adapt there is he hasn't got the pace to affect on the wings. If we have no RW by next game it will be grealish- alcaraz-ndiaye

….he’s as fast as McNeil, it’s more about game management.

Generally speaking you get what you pay for.

And pace on the wings or dribbling ability

 

[twoblue]

I did enjoy him momentarily forgetting what league he's in and asking the ref for a card. He's a bit of a nutcase haha

Which incidentally was a yellow all day

 

[whiteshadow]

I like Alcaraz, he's skillful, always works hard etc.

Just has to be played either 8 or 10. His best strenth is his passing ability, but his lack of pace limits him.

Didn't Charly Alcaraz have our only shot on target yesterday?

Yep.

First one and only one to have a touch in their box first half too i think.

Did more than KDH, who cost twice as much playing in his preferred position.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Some people have already made their minds up about him, it's proper weird behaviour. He's a squad player, brought in for cheap, who has the ability to change a game. He's not a winger.

 

[WilliamBoo]

He's not a winger. Putting him in other positions rather than 8, 10 or false 9 is spoilness

 

[HTCHERO]

I think Moyes might do a Bilyaletdinov on this kid and play him in all the wrong places

Nice little cameo. I like Alcaraz in a central role but the spots are pretty full. Guess he is vying with KDH in the long run for that position. Still reckon he will get decent playing time but injuries aside will be largely off the bench, which does show some nice squad progress.

Bit of a temper, leave a challenge on him or two and if the ref doesn't come to his aid gets a bit petulant. Good at picking up cheap bookings.
