He's played in 3 games (2 full 90 mins and then got injured) for Moyes and scored one goal though. Crap sample size but still.
I just don’t understand how anyone could want him to stay, for one he’s ran his contract out despite us offering to be one of our highest earners, he’s not a natural goal scorer at all and to top it off, he can’t stay fit. We can do far better than Dominic Calvert Lewin, it’s time to thank him for his time and wish him well somewhere else.
Yeah mad how he didn't accept the 235k/week offer but he's worth it really.
I'm not his biggest fan and never have been and i would have liked to sell him last summer, but id use him now as an asset, get him on a new contract on the best terms we can, look to improve up front in the summer, without having to revamp all our forwards in one go and shift him in a year or so.
Its the pragmatic thing to do.
I know everyone wants a rebuild in one window but really its going to take 2-3 and be more incremental.

It's only the pragmatic thing to do if the deal makes financial sense for the club.
That's were I'm coming from to be honest - he has 0 ammortisation in keeping and we renew him as an asset we can sell on.
...and is fit enough on a consistent basis to do it
This
It still depends on the wages. And I imagine he will want a long term contract
I wouldn't stress to much on the wages mate - unless it was something stupid like 160k a week.
He would cost less then another forward, on lower wages but coming in on a fee of 25 mill.
Im not saying hes the long term answer, im more thinking of asset management and our current position - id retain the asset and look to sell him in a year or so and have him as a squad option while we rebuild, it might enable us to realize a value on Beto and go after another Alpha striker in year one of the rebuild.
3 year deal with a club on option on a fourth. Let Moyes breath a bit of confidence into him, build away from him and bin him of to Sheff Utd or someone for a fee.
It wouldn't break my heart if he leaves, in fact i wouldn't blink, im not a huge fan, but as a above i'm thinking pragmatically, taking the emotions out of it.

it’s not a reason to. Just saying it’s clearly not easy to just replace them based off our attempts so far. I’m not suggesting we keep him.

It’s better than that even if not by much. That wasn’t my point though. It was more about just being able to replace the goals easily which we have struggled to find someone to consistently do for years now with various attempts to.
We need to move on from him, im not disagreeing with that.
We are at the end of March and he doesn't appear to be back in the training pitch.
Anyone holding out hope he's going to walk back into this team over Beto is kidding themselves.
Sacking your agent definitely gives the distinct impression he's realizing he was poorly advised not to either sign with us or Newcastle.
I for one hope he enjoys Greece or Turkey whichever one he ends up in.

Probably due to the fact he's injured?
He's probably a gonner anyway, and Turkey/Greece aren't that bad, it's warm and sunny at least, a lot of beaches... Could be worse to be honest.

I thought after seeing how well Alcaraz linked up with Beto from the start in the games with Brentford and Palace that Doucoure would n`t just walk back into the starting XI, but that didn`t happen.
