Confirmed Signing Abdoulaye Doucouré

[Arteta10]

Results in lockdown football have shown that there is virtually no advantage at home without fans. I’m too hungover to understand if that is good or bad news for us

Haha. I would think bad for us given we have to play the better teams at home without fans.

By the time we get fans back in Goodison, our fixtures are against the lesser sides, who you would expect us to beat regardless

Here’s hoping.

But he is better than what we currently have and we aren’t exactly going to be attracting much better I expect.

Our crap midfield finished higher than their crappier midfield.
Is there any guarentee hes better.

We are probably about to bring in someone much better so I’m not sure where you’ve got that from.

Of course we can, it’s pointless buying someone at inflated price because he’s slightly better than Tom Davies.

There’s a whole raft of players around the world who’d cost a fifth of the donkey and be better than our current selection

Take your word for it as i dont really know much about him. Or watched him.
I just look at nearly 28 and height of his career is watford and granada. And thinking if he is any good he would have played for better than that by 27.

That's the market we shop in,if he had been a 9/10 every game he'd be a Real Madrid player already.

sorry yeah that’s why I qualified it at the start , I think the lack of fans clearly levels that off . The villa game for example , I think we win that with fans . I also don’t think the likes of Norwich’s home form collapses completely with fans .

That makes sense

 

[14_dollars]

If Wolves want him they will get him.

let’s hope so - he’s worth £20m max
any more is a joke

One could argue that their defence was an even higher level of crappy than our midfield was to be fair, some shocking defenders at that club

I’d agree if it wasnt Everton
We seem to lose the easy games and put up a bit of fight in the harder (then still lose).

Maybe. I just question the age thing and why hes never played for anyone decent. Which then brings in why is he so costly.

 

[Papa Shango]

Shame we've been shafted with the fixtures then. By the time fans are back in Goodison, all the games that we generate a decent atmosphere for will already have been played BCD

Surely by the time fans are allowed back in every game will generate a decent atmosphere?

Our home form was pretty good this year before the lockdown (Norwich and sheff united defeats aside).

We had the 2nd longest unbeaten streak after the RS

You would think so.

But my point is that you would expect us to beat the teams we play at home in 2021 with or without fans.

Against the bigger teams I think we need a bit of help from a baying Goodison

Wow! I can’t remember that. Was that early carlo days?
