2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

….presume you mean Doucoure. It’ll be good if we find an alternative, but he’s done more than enough to maintain our top flight status over the seasons and has been far from a monstrosity.

I see you thought of him first, awful player, and your opinion means nothing because you thought dyche was the dogs... same as the other weirdo on here, see if you come up with his name 1st as well.

Huge overreaction, Harrison's cameo was better and productive than this lads.

Harrison was good is more people trying to see the positives with the lad ofc needs more games to get a better view. But for his first game had some good moments

Has a touch. Looks like he can handle himself. A replacement for Doucoure who unless scoring isn't much use to a premier league club.

Doucoure to run like hell for 60 minutes.
Alcaraz to isolate any yellow card carrying defenders subbed on at 60.

Time to use the rules to our benefit for a change.

Where does Ndiaye and Alcaraz play when McNeil is back and fit.

I think the question is where does McNeil play.

Too many people overlook the importance of the press, which is why many managers like Dacoure but not as many fans.

Don’t rate him I’m afraid .
Always thought he was average at Burnley .
Occasional flashes of brilliance surrounded by dirge.
He will always be an ‘almost ‘ player, I think.
Never quite living up to the potential he displayed as a young player.
Which is why he ended up at Burnley really .
Seems a nice enough bloke though and I wish him the best of luck ,

Yeah I see your point, however I think he still has a part to play and we will see more of him under Moyes. Don’t see him going anywhere just yet. I also don’t think Dyche’s tactics brought the best out of him.

….the signings of expensive misfits who barely contributed is the reason we are where we are.

Exactly! Charly represents a tangible shift in the profile of player that the club have went after in recent times.

That window when we threw money at Williams, Sandro, Keane, Klassen, Gylfi then when we signed the likes of Tosun, Walcott, Schneiderlin, Delph etc notwithstanding terrible luck with injuries to Mina, Gbamin and Bolasie was huge blot on our copybook and set us back massively as a team and organisation.

Players like Lookman and Kean who have eventually turned out to be excellent were also duds for us at the time.

Considering the restrictions on operations in the last 4-5 years players like McNeill, Doucoure, Tarkowski, Garner, Onana, N’dyiaye and Iroegbunam look like exceptional pieces of business when compared with the above and that says a lot.

If only we got the Football Manager version!

Ah yes, the age old GOT tradition of half the forum making a decision on whether a player is great or crap based solely on a 30min cameo.

Guarantee half of you won’t budge an inch on those opinions regardless of how he performs

That’s what makes me laugh on here one, a player can be England regular one week and a championship player the next.
I’m not even going near the Beto thread.

Make your views known now and stick to that opinion through Hell and high water.
It's the GOT way.
