….I hope we keep him, I’m sure that’s the plan as he’s a very useful player and we struggled when he was suspended.

Not really. We were hanging around the Champions League places for most of the season two years ago playing him. We dropped five on West Brom, and looked good doing it, starting Keane, Gomes and Doucoure.
A team can have a couple of weak links and compensate with tactics. It's when there are several weak links that there's no longer any covering that up. If Doucoure is one of the first names on the team sheet, we're in trouble. If he's one of the parts that gets swapped in and out to suit tactics and rotation needs, that's fine.

You imagine wrong. It will 100% be Maupay.
That was not a real season. People need to stop referencing it.

Extending makes sense, as his wages would still be cheaper than paying actual money for a replacement of a similar quality.

I’m not sure people have watched recent games, especially the ones we have done well in.
I’m the state we are, his energy is paramount and to be totally honest if he was a better player he wouldn’t be here.
And some will say ‘he’s not quality we should have because we won the league and cup a few times in the last century….’
Well suck it up, we’re rubbish and in our current state his performances often result in points or a point.

It wouldn’t cost much to replace his quality and I’m sure there are plenty of free transfers who could do a similar job on half the wages,
Good athlete. Woeful footballer.
So this summer we should only buy players or attract players that will keep us 17th. Not sure Brighton and Brentford have had that Memo.
He’s a terrible footballer, yes he can run and is a big lad. Technically one of the worst midfielders I’ve seen at Everton in 20yrs And I’m not suggesting Frank Lampard is Better than dyche, because he’s not, but you can see why he dropped him, because Frank wants to play the modern way and try and keep possession a bit more, yes maybe he was trying to run before he could walk with our players, but that should be the long term goal. Not kick and rush 90’s football happy with 30% possession. Not many clubs who want to progress would have looked at doucoure.
The caveat to that is he’s done a half decent job and will be needed next season, because of the [Poor language removed] show at the club, but let’s not make out Doucoure was doing us a big favour by signing for Everton. I don’t remember many more prem teams being in for him when he was available for a poxy 20mil

Simply don't think that's true. How many premier league level midfielders who score goals are floating round for free?
Prior to dyche coming he’d got 4 goals in 70 games. So I’m not sure you’d class him as a goal scoring midfielder. He’s now under dyche basically playing off the striker and as a split striker. Stands the reason he’s likely to get more goals. As playing in a midfield two he doesn’t get in the team imo.
And we should be looking for a lot better to the play then off the striker role. Oxlade chamberlain, Ross Barkley and Jessie lingard, while I’m no real fan of them all. But all 3 would over more than doucoure in the role he’s playing

He's played most of his Everton career in a deeper role in a 3, under Carlo he pretty much exclusively sat and covered the space left by James. When he's played as the furthest forward midfielder he's tended to score goals. Is he top class? No. He can barely pass a ball. But he does offer something that virtually none of our other players do. I'd also take him all day over sick note Ox, Lingard who's had 6 decent months his whole career, and the less said about Barkley the better, his best days are long behind him.
We need to stop getting rid of every single player who offers us something in the final third, it's why we're in this mess.
Footballs not for you if you think them 3 wouldn’t offer more than doucoure next season playing behind the striker. I wouldn’t take them 3 either. But they’re all better footballers
And we’re that desperate we need to keep on 30yr old, getting paid a fortune. Who will run around a lot and be physical and may scramble in 6/7 goals, but will give the ball away cheaply more than that in one game. His terrible passes cost us v wolves, and v forest
