2025/26 Charly Alcaraz

[blue to the bone]

He is 23 and if he leaves will be at his 6th club. Not sure he will ever be a star.

 

[skumar55]

I would like to give him another season, otherwise need to replace him

 

[Bedfordblue]

He's really not that good.

We’ll see.

 

[coollino]

I feel like if he goes, he will be back in a top league within two years and we’ll all be asking why we sold him

And within two years he'll not be starting and will be moved on again

Yeah it's a bit odd, like he has a good first season and then that's it

 

[AndyP94]

I think his decision making has been poor at times, but it's difficult to make much of an impact when he's only coming on for a few minutes.

He has put in good performances though when's he's come off the bench at times and brought more energy into the team and I think he should have come on more at half time when trailing, but Moyes doesn't usually bring players on then, and he doesn't seem to fit into his plan or system.

No, he's not the finished product. Needs another type of manager

 

[COYB75]

Another interesting thread where a player, who has barely had any minutes, is deemed to not be good enough based on a couple of poor showings. I’ve lost count of how many poor performances we’ve had from guaranteed starters like Gana, Tarks, Myko and many others, yet the manager gives them a free pass every time. I don’t mind if a player is seen as not reaching the standard we want for this team, but that applies to a much larger number of our players. If we’re stuck with Moyes for another season I do not want to see his constant selecting of the same ineffective players. First job is to start Branners and O’Brien at centre back. (If both fit).

Never had the chance, confidence knocked out of him after some decent performances and seems to be the only player who knows where to put the ball for Beto. Garner did it once. Must be difficult to come on as a sub in the late stages when the team is struggling. Lots of potential wasted , needs a change of manager. Also scored decent goals for us from midfield.

 

[GoldenToffee]

If he's not deemed good enough to start then the club should look to loan him out.

He might flourish under a more modern manager than Moyes, and hopefully this is his final season with us (although sadly it probably isn't). A loan might be ideal.

Fully expect him to be sold at a loss though.

….the assumption is usually that a loan spell will be a success but that’s often not the reality.

 

[toffeeblue9]

He's the modern Besic. A player some fans seem to love for no discernable reason other than a few early promising contributions, but ultimately has no footballing IQ at all.

Looking forward to him going so we can debate players being left out who are worth the argument.

 

[MikeH72]

Didn’t get a fair chance, manager made his mind up last season that he didn’t want him, which is why he kept banging on that the only reason we signed him was because he was “available”. Could’ve contributed as a squad player.

What if they aren't?

Agree. I like him and he definitely hasn't been given a proper chance. He's in that 1 mistake and you disappear bracket with a few others. He's not a CM and not great out wide. Moyes is very rigid in his positions so there doesn't seem to be a fit positionally.

But ultimately, if he's not going to be used by the manager for more than 10 minutes the odd week regardless of the opposition, the score or injuries then we may as well sell.
