2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[witchdoc187]

Is he actually trying to put himself in the same category as Salah?

No. But also he's right. Who goes into contract negotiations saying they're worth less? You'd be an absolute idiot. So although I don't agree he deserves it, he's just saying the right things. Really don't see why anyone would have a problem with that tbh.

Well, the midfielder has clapped back at the supporters who say this, as speaking to the Fozcast, Doucoure has made his stance very clear.

“I see Everton fans saying to lower my wages. I’m amazed, I deserve to have my salary right now,” Doucoure said.

“To be honest, I won’t readjust my salary to stay at the club. I’ve seen Mo Salah get a pay rise.

“I’m playing every season, I’m important for the club, no, I should have an increase!”

“People talk about my salary, and I’m just surprised, like, no, I’m sorry, I don’t agree with this.”


Bye bye abdoulaye

The lack of self awareness by some footballers is staggering.

To be so poor technically, to produce so little yet get paid circa £120k per week and think that's good value and even deserving of a pay rise is beyond belief.

I'm actually pleased by his comments though because hopefully that's the final nail in his coffin as an Everton player.

Are you trying to tell me his wife had another baby 2 months after having one? Or has he had another baby with a different woman?

If only he was as good as Kyle Walker on the pitch

I've got no issue with anything he's said. He's his own man and has a right to his opinion.

The fact it makes it more likely he moves on to pastures new is a bonus. Let's shake hands at the end of the season and move on.

 

[Lord Byron]

Let him go and get a better player on lower wages.

He’s not in contract negotiations
But he also would have seen the reports about, Everton only wanting him, if he takes a drop, Everton could have took up
The option and he would had to have only 120k a week next year, the poor thing.

There’s not a chance In hell hes getting pay rise. And he surely knows that

He’s a rich idiot. Let him go to Saudi and play infront of 300 fans

 

[blueboy72]

Yikes!

Battle lines TFG will laugh at him. See you later doucoure

 

[maccavennie]

Wow, someone's slightly out of touch with reality.

Unless he's only getting paid £500 a week and we've had his wages wrong all along, then yes he should get a pay rise to £600 a week!

 

[Paul E]

Yikes!

Battle lines drawn!

Hope this means he's gone. 32 years of age with a 1 in 10 goal scoring record this season thinking he deserves more. Epitomises the modern footballer. Shocking player and, now, clearly a poor attitude. Good riddance.

@davek he means you if you're wondering.

 

[buededw1]

Yikes!

An increase.... I need to take this attitude for my pay review.

Important goals... just the 3, in the number 10 role.

Blokes delusional, he can hardly pass a ball.
