Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

[Barnfred 55]

Those three and Gordon behind DCL/Kean and Richy is gonna be tasty

You are far too quick to write off Gomes in my opinion mate. I reckon he'll be different class with those 3 around him.

We really are putting together a very classy midfield there. I just hope Richy and Co are able to take advantage of it. If they are I think we're in for a hell of a ride.

Do-do-do-Doucoure...








... I am so sorry

It's such a shame we didn't appoint a top manager when Moshiri came in, we'd have been a force by now.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I’ve gone full circle and now really want him. It being reported that he was “flattered by our persistence” may have had something to do with this.

Explains why I’m a sucker for a femme fatale I suppose.

If Carlo has been appointed when Martinez was sacked we’d be playing in the champions league by now.

 

[paulbefc]

He's a striker, he wants to be a striker, let him be a striker.

Absolutely.

 

[Barnfred 55]

I like to think Gomes can fit into that somehow. No idea how like, but I deliver parcels, (well did), not manage a football team.

Not sure Carlo will stick to the same format every game. A diamond midfield or 433 will accommodate all 4, even a back 3 if you play James off a lone striker.

Very exciting times. Been doing my research and the amount of carries the ball forward and ends up in the opposition box is incredible.

Allows us to be flexible formation wise too, him and Allan would complement each other in a 4-4-2 and if we want to play a bit deeper and hit teams on the break we can bring Andre into the middle with them for a 4-4-3. Lovely stuff.

I agree with you over Gomes, he will be much better.

I was about to say, we might see Gomes flourish. I hope he allows himself to relax and just play his game now instead of chasing shadows.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Gomes will flourish. He just needs to keep himself fit. Doucoure you beaut.

 

[matty1878]

He scored goals coming off the wing too.

Not as many

 

[Barnfred 55]

What a time to be alive, never known anything like this from Everton. 3 boss players (one being a filthy superstar) signed on the same day. I’m going for a lie down.

After the chaos of last night I thought today might have been a bit of an anti-climax as we waited for the formalities to be completed, but that Doucoure news has just ignited the place again.

I don't think he gets many starts if the 3 new signings stay healthy.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Not as many

As it stands right now he's actually "more prolific" from LW. A goal every 3.3 games as opposed to 3.75 as a striker.
