[Aries]

This seems the typical response from the majority of Southampton fans in the comments under the official tweet. Always a positive sign!

LFC will be trying to "Escape from Alcaraz" next week.
Oh yeah.

Carlos Alcaraz leaves Southampton to join Flamengo

Recently, Southampton have completed the signing of Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in a £25 million deal. It was followed by the season long loan signing of

Doesn’t seem to have been anything untoward or attitude related.

Is he Carlos or Charly?

My one concern is that one or the other seems to flit between clubs on a regular basis.
May be BMD will become his spiritual home

Alcaraz , you lucky , lucky thing .

I automatically thought he was a traditional number 10 but after reading up on him , it seems he’s more of a number 8 .

 

[bullybeef]

I bet he doesn’t play and then goes back at the end of the season.

Glad we are addressing an issue but i really am curious as to what this guy is doing to get shopped around like this.

Jan 2023 he signs for Southampton, on a deal running to summer 2027.

October 23 he gets a new contract, extending to 2028.

Now, just three months later he is shipped off to Juventus on loan.

The next summer, late august 24, he returns to Southampton and goes to Flamengo in what is their record transfer fee paid.

They are so thrilled with their record signing that they send him back to England after 5 months, and now he is with us.

Is someone using poor Charlys career to lander money or something?

Drug running...

Plays a Doucoure-type role from what I've seen. Better with the ball though obvs.

 

[CielosGrises]

One positive thing for him is that there is definitely a place for him here if he's any good - not loaded with attacking players are we ?

 

[Terrarian]

Box to box, will probably take Mangala's place in the squad and fight it out with Garner, Gana and Doucouré

 

[CielosGrises]

Seems to retain the ball well, press, bit of running, through balls - advanced midfielder.

We've been spoiled by NDiaye recently, he doesn't look like a forward in that vein.

 

[mightymoyes]

anyone have any idea how many starts he has to make before it becomes a permanent transfer?

I’ve read 8 not sure how accurate that is though

 

[Nymzee]

I like the fee. Any player we can get £15m or under is smart business in todays market.

 

[Neiler]

I actually remember him at Southampton hes a good quality player, he's going to surprise a few and plenty of head room.
