2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Marius57]

Thing is, that’s not agent chat. That’s direct from the guys mouth isn’t it? On a podcast? As in, himself.

Mental.

100% the reason he was left out at the weekend. Hopefully it was a Moyes decision and not him throwing his toys out the pram.

As if it was a Moyes decision, I’d think that’s the last we see of him and he gets jettisoned with not even a single discussion about renewing at any wage.

Surely, fake news.

I mean, Doucoure is a donkey, but even Shrek's number two had more self-awareness than those quotes...

Great goal. The initial launch into the box by Farrelly reminded me of Doucoures first touch.
He's scored some very important goals, but time has come to say thank you and good luck for the future.

 

[Bryan+]

As much as you won’t want it to happen, time will be kind to Doucoure and he will be remembered for scoring some big goals for us.

He’s ruined his little legacy he had there for me, he did you’re right and if he had some brains he would know the what blues will remember if he wasn’t offered a contract, now this is what most will choose to, his public greed.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Reminder he missed the last game for, ahem.

Personal reasons.

 

[Clarky cat]

For context, if Doucoure doesn’t play the last couple of seasons then someone else does, Everton wouldn’t be starting games with 10 players would they?

Someone else getting his wage who might be able to control the football, pass the football and not make numerous attacks break down because they have all the footballing ability of Stephen Hawking’s wheelchair and perhaps Everton would not have been in such a desperate position in the first place?

I cannot wait to finally get rid of the foul stench of mediocrity that has held the club hostage for the last few years, purge the underachieving, overpaid charlatans and embrace a new positive dawn for the club. Tara Abdoulaye, enjoy the Middle East.

 

[Mrk]

Good riddance. Thanks for the goals but we need real footballers, and this guy isn't one.

 

[Neiler]

I sincerely hope that Moyes has seen his arse with him after this and that we never have to watch him slowing down breakaways, misplacing passes and failing to control the ball again. Wants a rise from £120 K, for running around a bit. FFS

Those comments also might suggest there may have been a falling out behind the scenes.

Bridges burning all over the show.

Id be surprised to see him play for us again and rightly so.

Moyes shouldn't and cant take any prisoners as a good manager.

I say all of the above as one of his biggest advocates on her over the years.

Sharpie back

Doucoure out

 

[Azza]

If you didn't need another reason to clear him off.

 

[Bryan+]

Just FYI.

Here is the video:

Here is the podcast:

And here are some actual quotes from him.

think personally I don't wait for them to to give me a contract or not because you know my my contract is finished I have already some proposal on the table to be honest and I think in the next 3 weeks I will have to take my decision whether I stay or not whether I have a proposition or not obviously uh but I want this to finish within 3 weeks to to announce if I stay or or I leave. Is is this an interesting is this a really interesting part of being a footballer when it gets to this part for you

almost every game so I'm quite secure uh to have other proposition I know I going to have some some offers I already had and u obviously like I said you know Everton is is massive for me u but maybe you know the chapter is finished and I have to accept that and uh I will be happy end of the day if I leave

I think he knows exactly what hes doing with those comments, think hes been told hes not being kept on and is lashing out and likely already has a deal in place elsewhere.

Hes going to regret how hes handled this is years to come.

Game Over for the Duke.

 

[Bryan+]

I think the timing of DCL return + contract versus this outburst is very interesting.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Reminder he missed the last game for, ahem.

Personal reasons.

He’s almost definitely been told he’s not in our plans next season and has got the arse on so now he’s pimping himself out for the biggest contract he can get

I reckon Moyes will have the sense to leave him out the final few games too… certainly don’t play him against Southampton and do anything to ruin that day

 

[windymiller]

Yikes. What a way to ruin any goodwill there was towards him in a heartbeat. I get that he's unhappy he's not been offered a new contract but having a pop at the fans, comparing himself to Salah and unfavourably comparing us to the RS is the podcast equivalent of a dirty protest!
