Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

[Gwladys St. Glory]

@MarcelsGoat I'm at rock bottom with this team...only way is up, they say.

Abdoul-yay Doucour-yay! He’ll add a different dimension to the squad. He’ll be useful against certain opposition for sure. Good to have options in the squad all over the pitch, and hopefully he compliments other players strengths.

I honestly hate us mate.

But you wont stop me dreaming of a better time.

You hit rock bottom, you think that's all
But rocks give way and you continue to fall
There's no end, and your cries for help remain unheard

@MarcelsGoat don't get me wrong, Rico is a joy to watch but I'm struggling for inspiration pretty much everywhere else...maybe Gordo for the youth factor

The boy Allan will steal your heart.

Now get this one done please too. Surely with a loan (not Gordon) we should be able to pull this deal off

I wonder if the sporadic links to other midfielders such as Rafinha indicate we may have already moved on from Doucouré .
Given the Zaha episode I would imagine Brands would be reluctant to become ensnared in similar intractable transfer again.

Nah i think the player wants it that it will get forced

Are we all agreed that this can never happen again?

Thanks.

Same situation as Zaha though , if the owners aren’t keen it won’t happen.
Does Brands want to repeat the mistake or move on in good time to secure an alternative target.?
I do think we may already have moved on.

Sorry La it’s out there, can’t be taken back, the web owns it now. The fewmin da’s will be shouting it on the terraces when he’s beasting teams and we’re winning

I thought to myself it would make no sense signing both him and James, two similar player profiles (attacking central midfielders/offensive midfielders). What do you guys think?

Doucourè is much more of a holding mid/engine rather than an attacker. If we play 442, can imagine Doucourè and Allan in the middle and James on the right
They’re probably more suited to a 433 with Allan/Doucouré providing the cover and driving the ball upfield for James/DLC/Rich
Just my twopence on that
