Carlos Alcaraz

[weimaranerblues]

Obviously hope he's a success and we buy him , but most of these" option to buy" never happen,

[Cozzie]

Should link up well with Ndiaye.

Looking forward to this one.

So what’s his best position/playing style? He’s had a lot of moves in last couple of seasons, why are flemengo getting rid after a few months?

They run their club well. Know its a good deal if they get 15 million for him post loan.

Doesn't matter how much they like him, the deal is good.

Where do you get the £15 million figure from ? can’t say whether it’s a good deal for them or for us until you see what he offers us until the end of the season.

[Bluebridge]

Flamengo paid €18m for him.

They paid €18m for him last summer, so we won't get him for £15m.

Ive seen 15 with add ons mooted about.

He's been at Racing Club, Southampton, Juventus and Flamengo since Jan 23 , one of those moves was a loan to Juve similar to our situation. Anyone know why he's not settled? Seems to have played a few games last year at Juve

He's played all over the show positionally, all across the middle of the park and upfront.

Also says on google he's 6 ft 2!!

Just hasn't worked out. Probably because ultimately he's just not good enough really.

Flam have apparently said they like him but tactically he doesn't quite fit what they need, no idea how they play or what they need, it's possible he will fit better here.

He has had a few cases of headloss as well, fighting on the pitch and stuff.

Just one of them I think, talented guy, bit of a low risk gamble on the loan, hope it pays off.

[NomadskiEFC]

Let’s just hope he finds himself a perfect fit here. The thing that gives me positivity was the universal praise Southampton fans were giving him in the bbc website story about the transfer. They’ve obviously got no skin in the game so was good to read.

Classic Moyes signing potentially, talented player who just hasn't quite found a home and settled enough to cement a place in the team. Comes here, Moyes works his magic and everyone down the line wonders why their team didn't sign him.

Or a Manny Fernandes where @Gash is still getting annoyed by people overrating him 15 years after he's left

I saw someone mention him the other day and I nearly went on another rant.

[crackling]

Colleague in Brazil (Corinthians fan) reckons he's a really good player and we have a good deal but just hasn't settled in Brazil.

"it's difficult for Argentinians to settle here, you know". Well not really, but I'll take his word for it.
And I'm sure most players would jump at the chance to get (back) to the Premier League with the money involved.
