Alcaraz Set To Complete Loan Move To Italian Giant on 10:42 - Jan 31 with 1328 views
“Juventus was one of the last teams to be interested in ‘Charly’. On Diario AS, yesterday morning, we talked about Nottingham Forest, basically, all that was missing to conclude the negotiation was the club’s offer.”
Adding: “Juve closed it in less than four hours. The only concern came from the Southampton management, who were not willing to let him go on loan. In the end, the purchase option for 45 million euros ended up convincing them.”
I would imagine RM is disappointed that Charly has gone... although Brooks arrival should make up for it.
Old School is Cool

Behind Aribo, Smallbone, Mara, Rothwell etc in the pecking order at Saints but good enough for Juve and Argentina - very strange
Talent should be embraced and not be seen as an obstacle - imagine if we had had that attitude with Matt Le Tissier (though Branfoot nearly did). I am not saying Alcaraz was the perfect article, he wasn't. But, he was one of very few players that seem to show something in the miserable season last year and he made it clear he wanted to stay and help us through the Championship. May be his temperament or whatever didn't suit the manager etc and for now his loss may not be as great but I cannot help thinking, we are letting a good one slip through our fingers here.
But, players come and go all the time and often it comes down to the money and the club moves on and right now we are in a good position, but it does make you wonder whether a Le Tissier type player now would ever be able to stay the course. There seems to be no place for that sort of talent any more.
In the meantime I wish Alcaraz well and look forward to seeing David Brooks playing, whom I do think is a good aquisition to the team.

At least he's only on loan but I can't see his individual talent working in Russel's style of football, shame really Yes Brooks looks good
