Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

[street end]

He isn't even the worst player this season, Niasse and Martina?!

He’s certainly up there and it says something if we accompany his name with those two, he’s also played over 100 premier league games and captained the team somehow, what a daft decision that was

Worse than Tom Davies

NEA

Lol. No.

Sweet Jesus, so his seasons pass % was low at 75%. I thought I'd find a game against a weak team, so chose our game that we won 3-2. He played in a midfield 3 against Delph and Siggy and he had 67% pass completion. We pay over 20 and it's too much.

I had a quick look on the Watford forums and I think it's fair to say that at least 95% of their fans think that if we pay over 20 million then we have paid well above what he is actually worth, scrolling through the Abdoulaye Doucoure thread on the Watford forum it comes across that he had 1 possibly 2 very good seasons for them and he has regressed over the last couple of seasons.

They also think we got rinsed for Richarlison so, pinch of salt and all that.

Niasse has done more for Everton in less games...

I'll be the dissenting voice here - I think he will do well here. If we move to a 4-3-3, he will pair well with Gomes and hopefully Allan

They also took a load of plastic snakes the match, can you take anything they say serious after that?

Would be a good signing alongside Allan, He's more mobile and physical than anything we currently have and I've seen him dominate midfielders with much bigger transfer fees (mostly in 18/19). Davies, Gomes don't have the speed to transition us up the pitch or even keep up with a counter, Doucoure deffo does.

 

[Minimeister]

I mean, they're probably on TV maybe a dozen times a season? And he's been here 4 years I think? It's hardly outrageous to think people have seen a fair bit of him is it?

I've not said it's outrageous?

Not sure about anyone else but i watch non CL PL clubs quite a lot as i always like to watch players we could potentially go for, who can do it in the league and who we can get, i more tune into the player and what they do then the game. Wouldn't be one for watching the Ukrainian second division or anything like that mind.

Ive watched Watford quite a bit over the last four years, firstly for Richarlison, he is a gem, then for Doucoure im on record as wanting him in the last couple of seasons and this year for Sarr - id love him to.

On Doucoure, hes a talented lad, big engine, up and down, is an absolute unit and can basically out muscle anyone in the league, is a massive presence in the center of the park and really difficult to get through to break a line. He has legs and get up the field to, ball retention is good he can assist and score.

Two games stand out for me one, against us when he just utterly dominated us in the center, Gomes and Gueye bouncing of him he was a colossus and just shrugged both aside, Watford won it was at Goodison. The second was against Utd, he made a child out of Pogba and just shrugged him aside. Hes just a massive massive presence, kind of like Fellini was and how we need that at the moment, but more deft and has end product look at his goals and assist record in the last three years from center field

Admittedly he has been of color this season and i think some are right when they say he didnt look motivated, bar a run of ten games when Peasron first came in and he was back to is best, he wained then again though looking resigned.

I like him always did and id fully back his signing, i think he will surprise many if he comes.

I’m so fickle that after reading this I’ve gone from no way to he’s a must have for our midfield

Possibly but looking at his stats I would be very sceptical about spending stupid money on him, he never really stood out last season in a side that was relegated in fairness.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

wouldn’t be a bad signing but surely there is better for cheaper? Sangare is who i would be looking at i think

Slight case of the Everton "don't need him anyway" syndrome.

Welcome to Everton.

@orly

Really Moo, just give up this nonsense...

 

[Loadsofchemistry]

Dont know if anyones mentioned it yet but im sure ive read something about him not being able to train all week. Think pearson brought it up after they beat the cult last season.
