I think Doucoure was a solid player for us. Never a question about his work ethic or dedication to the club. Bournemouth goal will never be forgotton, but he is never going to start on a team with real aspirations. I think it is a good sign we...
Flawed but very important player for us over the last five years. His importance has been symbolic of our mismanagement, but his commitment and timely goals deserve a lot of respect. Definitely wish him well. With that being said, I would have...
Well, one thing this does do is force us to play properly.
For years now, the Doucoure chaos factor has been something we've fallen back on repeatedly.
There was that mad stat that we only won 4 times without him in 5 years.
That has to change...
Is very true. And i had a quick glance at players in teams who have more options, just on assists. All based on minutes on the pitch. You cant just say he's played 17 games as you cant do anything while you are sitting on the bench, which he...
Will always be grateful for the Bournemouth goal, and for some of his performances under Dyche particularly early on. Think it’s one of those scenarios however where it has run its course naturally and it’s best for both parties to move on. Good...
Right decision. He’s scored some important goals - for which we should all be thankful.
Glad we can part on good terms. Indeed I think it’s nice to part on good terms generally in life. So I wish him well. And Michael Keane. And anyone else who...
You do realise it was tongue in cheek? It’s one thing wanting to stay at a club and another agreeing terms that suit your needs on the pitch and satisfying financial terms. I’m not sure Moyes could have been any clearer or complimentary towards...
I’d agree, though I’d perhaps add DCL as his all round game does tend to make us play better. He won’t stay based on his bird though.
My big worry is if Gana chooses to leave, and I expect he will as otherwise he probably would’ve signed by...
To be fair it sounds as though virtually every player bar DCL and Gana has been offered vastly reduced terms to reflect their actual value. I seriously doubt either Keane or Doucoure will stay.
Honestly I don’t think any of the above 4 will be...
The most obvious frees are Fabianski and Coufal, Moyes loves a lad he’s worked with before. Don’t actually mind Fabianski as the backup for a year but reading everywhere that Coufal’s legs have gone. Robin Olsen part 2 and Walker-Peters would be...
