Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

[Parker]

Doesn’t tackle apparently...

I see a lot of Barkley in the way he runs with the ball, which is a really good thing.

Could be the first midfielder who can do that for us since the rat left.

 

[Big Dunc's Head]

Most important signing out the 3, for me. We haven’t had a proper no6 for ages. Someone who can drive us forward on the ball, rather than passing it to a full back or back to Pickford for the majority of the game.

Allan is that man too, although he’s not established in the prem. look at him play in Serie A

 

[Paul Rideout]

Doesn’t tackle apparently...

OK I’m in. If we can part-ex a piece of deadwood in the mix I’d be up for that.

 

[bigboy]

There's probably more individual highlights at Goodison from him alone in that video compared to what all of our centre mid options would've been able to manage during the season

I watched a highlight vid the other day and about 6 of them were him just swatting Davies off the ball

Doesn’t tackle apparently...

I must admit I thought he was all about pace and power but he actually looks quite skillful. I can see a tekkers highlight reel coming from our midfielder this season.

 

[bluerobert]

Not for me. He and Allan are the more important parts of steadying the midfield. James is the cherry on top.

I have to agree, without those 2 we may as well leave James on the bench

class player, will do great for us, so excited

 

[tommye]

We're obviously keeping this one back as the 'big double reveal' at 6.00pm with his new team mate Lionel.

 

[Anti]

Doesn’t tackle apparently...

strong powerful box to box who can score and defender, Something we haven't had in a long time, Happy with this.

 

[kev]

Come on Everton, announce the big guy already.

 

[mkrudden]

So so mobile. His best bits video is him winning the ball / receiving it on the edge of Watford's box and driving to the oppo's box.

Exactly what we need.

Him, Gomes and Allan are going to be some force.

 

[Ameen]

Big Doucs box to box, Allan scrapping and dominating the middle of the park, Gomes linking play to James Rodriguez who plays inch perfect balls in Richy and DCL

Inhale that Blues

 

[barneygumble]

Announce him, so we can get our next target to flight track

 

[RomanReigns]

He use to score quite a few goals from corners I recall

imagine marking 50p head, doucoure, mina, richarlison and dcl from corners with Rodriguez whipping them in.

wouldn’t surprise me if we score a lot of goals this season from corners

 

[Deco]

He really gets about doesn't he?

We're going to be so annoying to play against - Allan and Doucoure causing all sorts of problem, Gomes going back to his best where it's hilariously hard to get the ball from him.
