He may even have a release clause in his new deal. Either way I could see the club asking for £20-25m.

I can definitely see Alcaraz going before the window shuts (if we get a good offer). For me he's been poor this season apart from a couple of good goals and I'm not sure Martin trusts him. He does have potential though so would it be a mistake long term to let him go? The club wouldn't need to sign a replacement either as we are pretty well stacked in that department. It'll be interesting to see if anything comes from the rumours.

He is a lovely lad. Had a good chat with him whilst he was helping out with a kids summer holiday football camp in Poole a few years ago. Told him I was gutted he didn't come to us instead of Bournemouth!

Bazunu, KWP, THB, Bednarek, Manning, Downes, Smallbone, S.Armstrong, Fraser, A.Armstrong, Adams. Lumley, Stephens, Bree, Charles, Rothwell, Alcaraz, Brooks, Sulemena, Edozie. Potential match day squad from February. That would take some stopping. Wouldn't even be able to fit in Aribo unless someone is off.

With Armstrong, Brooks, Fraser and Adams we've got 4 extremely well proven championship attackers at our disposal.

They are such a limited team but despite their poor GD they do actually have a very good goalkeeper who will surely be snapped up next season.

I swear one of their players threw the ball at one of ours after he gave us a free kick? The ref was looking straight at it and didn't bat an eyelid. He was terrible.

We certainly owe them for their smash and grab draw at St Marys. Could see Leeds slipping up but the other two should win comfortably. Agree with the OP regarding the team. Pretty much picks itself at the moment.

Can't say I noticed him do anything particularly badly, likewise he didn't do anything that stood out. It's probably just about him getting minutes and up to speed with the style of play.

He has a very good record of coming off the bench and scoring goals from the right hand side. Pretty low risk and gives us something we don't really have. A decent left footer.

I must admit, SAA really impressed me when he came on. I think the youngsters are better from the bench, making an impact. They just aren't good enough to start games yet. Although Meghoma was decent against Walsall and ok today.

Maybe in this league. If our ambitions are higher then I'd disagree.

We are going to need our Injured players back sharpish because there's not too many out there today I'd like to rely on.

Absolutely terrible up until that point. Can't hold it up, can't beat a player, poor in the air.

We were miles better than Watford in the last 15 minutes with our better players on.

How much more time do we give this guy?

Yeah tbf I forgot him. Can't blame me really, forgettable performance.

What a terrible, terrible half. Embarrassing performances out there. Alcaraz, Rothwell, Holgate, Doubling, Adams all poor. Mara has been absolutely shocking. Really wouldn't be against selling him now.

Very close to an agreement for Manuel Benson according to a Belgian journalist.. Will believe it when I see it.

Yes

Tbh the Palace youngster is more "our type" of signing. I could see it happening if we are genuinely interested.

Pretty sure it's all competitions

£25-30m seems quite cheap, I guess Leicester need the money.

Personally think that youngsters these days have unrealistic expectations and think they should be playing just because they do well at under 21 level. Doyle looked distinctly average in pre season, then gets injured and thinks he should be playing?

Surely you'd rearrange your wedding? Priorities and all that...
