2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Bedfordblue]

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

For context, he was comparing his contractual position with Salah and VVD, but also stated ‘clearly I’m not at their level’.

He shouldn't be so modest.

One of the promoted teams i could see throwing big money at him.

That’s exactly the sort of team his ability and style of play is suited for. And why he has been important to us. Lots of pressing and running for 90mins so you might grab a few late goals.

Anyone with any ambition of not being in a relegation scrap needs better technically,

Leeds may give him big money. Not sure any of the others coming up could afford to.

Walk away Everton. Ignore the puff pieces and walk away

Also talking to Ben "Fozzy" Foster. Not for me Clive

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Stop moaning. Learn to make a 5 yard pass.

The ruthlessness I want to see. Move on.

We've been that team really hanging on by our finger nails.

I can see a Leeds, Sheff Utd or someone - throwing 120k at him to try to get what he brings and get a foothold in the league.

 

[GoldenToffee]

100% off to the middle east. He'll be playing behind CR7 next season on 650k a week.

 

[Number_25]

I love the guy, but he's not worth what we're paying him.

He'd need to take a substantive cut to stay.

 

[Neiler]

The question is how do we pivot away from him - i think we miss him when hes not in the team, we know his limits and what he brings the team - hes an enabler.

I thought Ipswich got the better of us in midfield without him last week.

Im not sure Idrissa and Garner are enough of a two to winning most PL engine room battles without a Doucoure.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He’s massively deluded, another case of a player thinking that they are better than they actually are. He’s got a good engine for 60 mins, but overall as a footy player he’s cack.

To stop forward play
That’s Doucoure"

 

[akkers]

I really do think now is the time to get away from this axis of Doucoure and DCL, both positions tricky and costly to replace admittedly, but we've had years of these fellas, years of setting the team up around them and its been holding us back

The answer to that is we have nobody to replace him, this isnt because he is good but more that the squad is threadbare and very short on quality.

We are playing the likes of Doucoure Young Harrison because we dont have anyone else.

A huge summer coming up, the likes of Doucoure can be replaced in a heartbeat, he is in the side for his 'legs' but the fact is he is the biggest culprit for us needing to win the ball back again.
