2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

like when we were beating bournemouth 2-0, then he came on in 83rd minute and we lost 3-2?

personally, i prefer my club to have players with both skill and effort not just one or the other.

also im not a huge fan of stats like, when x doesn't play, the club loses more games

sometimes these stats can just be purely coincidental

wasn't there a stat going around that when gareth bale first played for spurs he never won in 24 consecutive games

well he has 5 champions leagues to his name

i prefer to judge with my own eyes rather than stats and from what i've seen he is a donkey

…we’d all prefer our team to have players with ‘skill and effort’ but unfortunately we haven’t been in that position for a long time

That’s a wild take about Spurs not giving youth a chance.

On the pitch on Sunday they had a 17yr old, an 18yr old, a 19yr old, a 20yr old, a 21yr old and a 22yr old.

Don't let facts get in the way of my bad point.

Like the sound of that. Sounds like a type of player Moyes loves to work with. Also a fair bit of snideness to his game. Missed that for far too long in our teams.

 

[Curtis]

Sounds very richie like in the fact he puts himself in every game and is truly invested in the results of the match, hope it works out as I believe he has the ingredients to thrive here

….they don’t ’love him’, they see how valuable he is to the team and they see what our results are like when he doesn’t play. Was it 20 points gained from games he scored in last season (arguably our most difficult season on record) and never lost a game he’s scored in?

Despite being poor in possession, he’s made a huge contribution in maintaining our status, I remember when he got sent off in the incident with Harry Kane and then suffered injury and posters were wondering how we’d manage without him. He’s been handsomely rewarded here but he’s earned it and I will always be thankful for his contribution.

I believe Séamus Coleman shares the same luck. We've never lost in a game he's scored in as well. Not chirping in on the debate just thought it interesting

Feel Tarkowski has added a decent amount of snide?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

James Charlison?

Rich Charlison?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

I think we should just refer to him a 'King Charley" after the current ...er... king?

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Hope he gets at least 20-30 minutes against Bournemouth.

Is it wrong that I have serious Besic vibes about this lad?

 

[anton66]

Can confirm most South American women are mostly insane.

And smoke cigars.

Yes

 

[GlosBlue]

Is it wrong that I have serious Besic vibes about this lad?

I did too but I think it was something about his appearance more than anything?

So true Theo Walcott comes to mind straight away with no effort
