Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

[nsno-chris]

Poor bloke must have been shattered carrying that team.

give over Zat, he’s a ‘kin professional athlete. He’s not shattered he’s just crap.

Every time I’ve watched Watford Capoue is by far the best midfielder, and he’s average at best

Look at his stats for games played...

After starting 36 league games + 1 sub hes far and away there most frequent player.

Looks like he had a dip last season but different managers again...tactics and had bids in from PSG and us in 2019.

I quite like him when i see him.

LOL

I had a little mooch on there the other day... remember when that gaff was king.

NewsNow was like the go to source back then, you’d get at least 5 transfer rumours a day from TribalFootball. Good times.

 

[ValBlue]

In the season that he got a fair few goals and assists, he also had Capoue next to him doing a similar box to box role well. No surprise that his form dipped when Capoue’s did (as well as the rest of the team). But it goes to show what COULD happen if we get Allan alongside him

 

[Huyton Layne]

Not really. We conceded 27 goals in the 15 games Silva managed, with 3 clean sheets, and 23 in the last 15 games under Ancelotti, also with 3 clean sheets. The defence didn't really improve at all.

That's not like for like. What 15 teams are included in these runs? I remember Silva never got many hard fixtures but still had a terrible points haul

 

[Dougie]

Is this actually true or just a lazy stereotype? Because I’ve never seen anything from him ever to suggest he has high energy levels or any pace.

Times I’ve seen Watford on tv he is up and down the field. And only have to go on the Watford fan forum and most off them say they will miss his energy levels. They watch him week in an week out so.

 

[Dougie]

He's not even a tenth of Gana without the ball.

Only one gana so that ain’t fair.

Well it's not really possible to do like for like is it, because there's always going to be a difference in home and away games etc. 15 games is almost half the season though, so it's not like it's some mad data set that's giving a totally false picture. Just the eye test should give you the answer to be honest, if you think we defended well in the last few games of the season then i'd really hate to see us defending badly. We got cut to pieces by Wolves, Bournemouth, Southampton etc.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Oh how the tables have turned. Watford have probably opened the negotiations with us going from “never doing business with you again” to “please give us some of your cheddar daddy”.

The scamps

 

[Lloydystark]

Should we put him on the list of overpaid players we can't move on for the summer of 2023 now or do we have to wait?

Chuck a loan spell for a season elsewhere too

 

[Lloydystark]

Seems like a player who has a good game every 5 or 6 games...will fit in perfect to our inconsistent average players we already have... can’t wait for this transfer to go through....not

 

[LABlue2]

He really was utterly rancid in that game.

Big game bottler, will fit in perfectly

Welcome to Everton

 

[Blue Parkender]

If Carlo rates him that will do for me

I mean he had literally just had a 3month break.

I just don't think that is right at all, he is different to Gana but I think (when playing well) he can have more of an influence on the performance of a team.
