Personally I have no concerns on the loss of Doucoure..... I think the only thing he generally brought to the squad was a level of intensity and press. I think Alcaraz has this in abundance.... we also add CM and a RW who have the same, along with Ndiaye and Barry I feel we are much better equipped.….i’ll prefer to compare it to last seasons squad, the loss of Doucoure is the difficult one to guage (I know posters generally thought he was poor, but he was an important member of the team). I’d be sure Barry will immediately improve our attacking threat.
I will be happy not to see attacks constantly broken down by Doucs.
He did a job whilst he was here fair enough, but feel we will be in a much better position for the upcoming season.
