do like doucoure and he is completely different to what we have
the best thing about this though is how annoyed them fans will be, taking their 2 best players 2 windows in a row would be magical
small, terrible plastic snake waving joke of a club

Unfortunately Watford like to moan & hate us then wait until we give them money to shut them up.
Not sure we need him when we’ve got Delph and Gbamin who play in centre midfield. Someone persuade me otherwise?
Delph lasted 5minutes of our last game.
The same Delph who’s already out injured

Are we trying to get a midfield that consists entirely of players whose names begin with either D or G?
Don’t even want him, but it’s satusfying taking these hard cockney nob heads best assets off them.

This is a mad thread. Just mad.
Gbamin is not coming here to be a backup CB. He's going to be a DM, holding or otherwise. He is not a CM. Please, please, please for the love of god stop with that nonsense. He was put there last season to accomodate Kunde and because Mainz sucked. They were TERRIBLE in possession. Gbamin could hold the ball a bit, that's what he was playing more advanced on the right. He's just good with the ball. In any legit side he's a DM.
Doucoure is not coming here to play as a 6. He RARELY played that role at Watford. Capoue played behind him. Sometimes as a pair, but almost always as an 8 in front of Capoue, who is more of a 6. He can play the position, but that's not where he's best.
I know we need goals, but our biggest issue is still central midfield. Gomes is a terrible defensive mid. He's lovely in the build up, he's critical to our team, not good enough without the ball. He can press high, but that's it. He's a turnstile, a post, he's too easily bypassed and is positionally clueless as a defensive mid. He DOES however have a prayer of settling in and being more productive in attack. There is some past evidence that he can do that.
So it's pretty simple - Doucoure/Gbamin behind Gomes, a true 4-3-3. Siggy can play one of the forward positions and rotate in with Bernard and Richy.
Doucoure/Gbamin would be awesome. It's what we've been missing for a LONG time. Gbamin can sit behind him or they can pair up as twin destroyers. Gomes can roam free. Doucoure and Gbamin can both support our FBs pushing high.
Kean, Siggy, Richy puts a lot of goal scorers closer to the net. Digne and Coleman attack wide, more aggressively supported by Doucoure and Gbamin. Gomes can roam free, push higher, Gbamin's distribution will help, Doucoure's ability to also carry the ball when teams try to mark Gomes will be key. Doucoure can also score.
Get another CB and that's a really good team.
Would I rather move for Sangare who is a lot cheaper? Sure. He's very similar to Doucoure. But this would dramatically improve and transform our squad.

Obviously we are very keen on Doucoure, but it begs the question why we didn’t put a bid in earlier prior to us signing Delph. We could have used the fee and reported wages we have offered Delph towards Doucoure, who in my opinion will offer us more on the pitch.

Watford isn't London mate although i agree with the sentiment.
Yeah that was meant to say jarg cockney nobheads.

If Zaha comes in to add to that you are potentially looking at first 11s that include none of Bernard Siggurdson or Delph. I would love it if Silva was that brave and went for it but I can’t see it.

This will probably go to the wire with Watford demanding £50+ cause they hate us.
That’s if Watford refuses to sell to us out of spite

I’d rather put the money (reported second bid of 36m) towards a centre half and I’m a fan of Doucoure, but feel we need a centre half more than Doucoure at present.
