Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

He's meant to have been training with Watford for their preseason, I wonder if he could start or play a bunch of minutes against Spurs?

...it’s a weird pre-season where lots of them won’t have many playing minutes in their legs. They’ll all have to be managed for muscle fatigue (I’m sure this was the issue with Gbamin), so there must be a chance he gets some game time.
 
Why there is only one Championship player there.
We signed two central midfielders, not one.
The manager doesn't want to alter the midfield , he wants to change it completely. The most senior central midfielder we have by some distance is Andre Gomes , it looks to me as if he just hasn't impressed the manager and is now a squad player or will be sold as we probably need to bring in some money.

Sigurdsson is not a defensive midfielder but was playing deeper because of lack of options however the signing of JR immediately pushed Sigurdsson down the pecking order and from what I have read and heard about him he will not accept that role and will want a move... something that will probably suit the club very well.

Tom Davies is still only 22 and I believe a player the manager lies.
I think he has done well in some games, not so well in others.
Just because he is the scapegoat on GOT counts for nothing...imo.

I said in another thread a while ago I think this is one pre-season you can probably get away with late additions because given the break and internationals there has hardly been any real pre-season to speak of.

I don’t agree. Gomes will stay. We see his quality before and he is still a part of the Portugal nation team. Siggy depends, can‘t see a Msl club pay a big sum he probably see as a alternative option in AM.

There is no way you can rely on Davies to fight a starting spot with Allan and Doucoure as we are aiming for top 6. He is not a scapegoat he has over 100 leagues games and has not really improved. What do you think his strengths are since you believe Gomes and Siggy should not play ahead of Davies?
