Apologies if someone did! He was apparently lined up by Benfica in January as the replacement for Enzo but ended up moving to Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sure he was a winger/ attacking midfielder ala Pedro. Could swear he was playing as a striker against us as well? Didn’t realize he was mostly deployed as a centre-mid.

According to this he played DM against us in the cup games and up top against us in the league. https://www.transfermarkt.com/carlos-alcaraz/leistungsdaten/spieler/748319 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean he can play as a six and a second striker? Good thing is - and this is a first in my entire time supporting the club - I have total faith in Ashworth. He'll have a short and long term plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Anyone think we will go back in ? https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1666122131753582593?s=20 ? PSG are open to selling Hugo Ekitiké this summer. ??? The player would rather stay but is open to leaving if he is guaranteed more playing time and the club plays in Europe.

Viana Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'm going to say no. His technique in tight spaces didn't look great. This is pure speculation on my part, but I think we saw him as a great project player when we could play high press counter attack football that we would then sell on. That ship has sailed.

GeordieDazzler Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Alcaraz created their goal against us iirc (Sulemana may have got the assist but he instigated the move) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Could obviously be wrong but I think Isak was the go big or go home option that we went for instead of Ekitike and Pedro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I like Alcaraz, very good player in a very poor team. Think he’d do well here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Much much rather have Alcaraz than someone like McTom. Where is the rumour from? Rumoured price? Talented player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 From what I saw Alcaraz actually looked pretty decent up front too, in addition to very much being an all-rounder as a midfielder. Great energy too. Could be a very smart versatility signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Sounds like we’re thinking about raiding the St Mary’s relegation reduction bargain bin. Livramento, Bella-Kotchap and Alcaraz all linked. Not Ward-Prowse thankfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
