Not at all. You shouldn't just get in the team because you happen to play for us, you should have to earn a spot. too long have we had mediocre layers waltz into the team just because there's nobody else to challenge them.
no of course, i was kind of being tongue in cheek anyway
just got a bit of a soft spot for Alcaraz. NDiaye aside he was vastly superior to any of our attacking options last year but barely got any starts because of the transfer clause it seems (and the Doucoure conundrum) and then it seemed like he'd finally won Moyes over with his performances away from home against Forest, Fulham and Newcastle. capping it off with a Tim Cahill esque goal.
I would have been quite happy with him being our starting 10 this year, had we say got in the likes of Dibling, Barry, a Douglas Luiz type and bolstered the full backs. i would have been satisfied with that as a starting XI
what i didnt expect was us to get the likes of Grealish and KDH who are much better and rounded players than him, and then Rohl who is also highly rated and seems a Moyes style player, and someone bought in to appease his wish for a Soucek style player
now I think he'll barely feature, which is great because i think if Alcaraz is getting limited starts it means we'll be doing well as the other attackers will need to be firing on all cylinders to keep him out. I just really rate him and think he brings something that others in the team don't. I think his ablity to break the lines in transition, his ability to pci ka through ball and his long range shooting is a combination of skills no one ese at the club really has, except maybe KDH
Think he could still be a great option to have away from home. And also it's great for us to actually have options and players for different games and scenarios. Past 4-5 years we've just had to scrap together a side that could somehow get us a result. it's not since the Martinez 13/14 season when we would have players like Osman, Naismith, Deulfeou, Pienaar etc who wouldn't start every week but were used ofr different games and circumstances to great effect
