Confirmed: Saints sign Carlos Alcaraz.

Carlos Alcarez is nearly done
14m fee agreed
Medical tomorrow for the Argentinian midfielder from Racing - 20 year old

 

Brilliant! Just the sort of player we need - some coup this.

 

Great. We have needed a midfielder who can get on the ball and break the lines for such a long time. We haven’t had anyone like that since Steve Davis left.

Argentine football is basically one big fight as well, so potentially sets him up for PL hustle.

 

Here's a good analysis of Carlos:

 

As well as being very talented, it sounds like this guy would be up for some ****housery. he's obviously crossed the line a few times, hence getting sent off a couple of times but we need someone who will wind up opponents.

 

Wow, nice

 

If he is as good at football as his namesake is at tennis, I.think he might be more than just a useful.player!!

 

Edited that for you, Tom

 

Struggling to get excited for this as it just sort of reminds me of Gaston and Sofiane.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

Read the analysis I posted above. He's more of a Mac Allister than a Ramirez or Boufal type player.

 

You are wrong on Gaston, as there wasn’t 37,667 pages before he signed.

 

Not wanting to urinate on any chips, but the Racing fans don't exactly seem too upset at this turn of events.

Still, let's see how he goes.

 

That’ll do!

 

But on the other hand, every journalist has said he's a real talent.

 

Digging deeper into it, the Racing fans think he has talent, but a lack of discipline (not sure if they mean temperament or positional discipline). Just reading more now. They do also think that 14m is great for them though (and that they've robbed us a bit).

 

Okay I've read more - they think he's very inconsistent and has a lot of disciplinary issues.

Come at us, Dani Osvaldo the Second!!

 

Shall we resign Fonte for him to head butt

 

Come on lads, we can get up to that before 2pm tomorrow
