2022/23 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[GoldenToffee]

You are obviously not very confident then....a tenner?

It's 500% my annual earnings.

 

[Bluestar]

No we want better players so we improve, as a team, Surrey that’s not difficult to understand. The reason fans get on
Players backs is because we’re sick of the same rubbish players, making the same mistakes and yet still at the club getting games 3 or 4 yrs later

All I am saying is that he is not as bad as people say. He had strengths, but we’re not really playing in a way that suits him. I’m fine with selling him, we could do with the fee.

 

[blue to the bone]

But, they are seventh now and obviously believe he can help them.

They are 9th.
That doesn't mean he will though.
Marco has made mistakes in the transfer market before!

 

[mikel_88]

Done ok here but if we can get money we should take it

 

[MikeH72]

If he is that bad though, why do teams above us want him?

This makes absolutely no sense. We were above Burnley when we signed Michael Keane, doesn’t mean he’s a good player.

 

[catcherintherye]

Because he is, at best, a Fulham-level player, and because we are, as a club, in a period of extraordinary underachievement not helped by having players like Doucoure consuming the wage bill.

And also because it's Marco Silva who wants him: a failed Everton manager. He's doing us a favour, bless him.

Fulham are above Everton though.

That is also true.

I'm not massively pro Doucoure. It's more a question though. If hes this awful, why are other clubs in the PL interested?

I'm happy to provide my take on it, but just wondered what people felt. There seems to be a lot of deflection currently, that Fulham are poor. But so are we, and they are above us.

As for Keane, I'm not sure the example really works, because Burnley fans thought highly of him.

There are questions for Lampard, which may involve can he get better out of some players. Doucoure has really dropped off under him IMO.

Every transfer window, Premier League clubs buy around 20 players each window that are awful.

Just Everton apparently, the same with injuries

 

[Drico]

Fulham are above Everton though.

They are. Temporarily. Doucoure will soon bring them back down to where they belong.

 

[barneygumble]

The last part of the wild day where we signed James, Allan and Doucoure.

Close that chapter, and close it now.

 

[Bob Elstone]

The bloke can’t pass a football.

 

[banno]

I still like him. Not a brilliant player but still decent enough for me

 

[marekb]

Might just be me being unlucky, but every time I’ve seen him play it’s like he’d rather play for the opposition the amount of times he turns possession over, Shame really as he’s got some great attributes to be an absolute dominating presence in midfield.

 

[jazzy]

I've heard that he's on a National Express coach to Fulham as we tuck into our Xmas dinners
