Transfer Rumour Abdoulaye Doucoure

[MikeH72]

Doucoure to me is an outstanding midfielder who can do a bit of everything. He can tackle, pass, dribble with the ball, head it and overpower teams. I'd have rather him than Zaha to be honest. You could easily fit our other midfielders around him too.

These are the only two things that you listed that I've ever seen him do well tbh.

His passing isn’t great. I definitely would be paying 40/50 mil

Well you've seen him play about once in your life, so there's that.

Have I? Interesting.

He really isn’t very good.

If you watched him last year against us at Goodison, you surely wouldn't say that's all he can do. Because he can clearly score, create, pass, tackle, pick off passes, run with the ball, etc. He's pretty good.

I remember him doing nothing for about an hour in the game before, funnily enough, Capoue started to run the midfield again in the second half and we fell apart. Oh and he jumped dead high to score a header which was pretty impressive. But apart from that no, I didn’t come away thinking “wow what a player that Doucoure is, wish we’d sign him”.

How is he in the twilight zone (or should I say sector)?

Honestly mate I wouldnt bother, hes that fella at the bar that knows everything despite not having a single clue about anything.

I mean hes chatting about sector 14 for Gods sake!

 

[Coggy]

Of course.

I think Delph was brought in for competition, depth, but yeah, tactical flexibility. No question. Having Gbamin and Delph together with Gomes is definitely a change. That's why I think we went after Doucoure as he's considerably better than Delph. It could also push Sigurdsson into the left forward position potentially, but we went for Iwobi instead.

Doucoure isn't better than Delph mate. This season will prove that fact.

"Yes, I watched the entire game".

What am I missing?

Some chromosomes would be my guess

Scored more goals then Bernard, Gomes and Gana combined last year.

Capoue was running the midfield in that one, too? You sure?

So did Glen Murray.
