2022/23 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[everton1953]

Player's salaries are bandied about on here as though they are public knowledge.Are they really? Does the club state somewhere in their financial accounts for each player what their salary is?
I would be gobsmacked if an ordinary player like him is on anything remotely approaching 100k per week. He came from Watford who probably pay around 10-20k per week max and was signed for an undisclosed i.e. low fee. How could he jump up to 100k? But what do I know compared to the knowledgeable folks on GOT?

Just spoken to Dyche about it, said there's a lot of noise surrounding his contract but we need to park that talk and he needs to align himself with the rest of the squad and focus on controlling a football until the end of the season.

Point 125, Kev to align, the alignment.

Point 126, Kev to buy ear defenders.

75k a week mate, 3.9 mill a year.

I'll take your word for it. Still gross for what he is.

To be fair to him, he looks like a man not used to cheap biscuits.

 

[everton1953]

Nothing against Doucoure, just think he is rather ordinary, and not worth paying remotely as much as the latest estimate of 75k per week.

He was supposedly on 70k a week at Watford when we signed him. (Which I’ve found from 2 sources with a 30 second google)

 

[everton1953]

2 sources!!!! That is quite funny. Your "supposedly" gave it away. Watford probably paid him 10k per week and even that was excessive.

I said supposedly because I’m not his accountant mate. And I wasn’t doing a deep dive into what a player earnt 3 years ago. So yeah, 2 sources, which is 2 more than you suggesting they paid him 10k a week despite the fact at that point they were an established PL team.

Aside from some of the small clubs that come up, pretty much every club in the PL will pay their senior and better players a lot more than 10k a week.

 

[everton1953]

But not the 100k some clowns on here say Doucoure is on!!!

I think you are in for a shock.

It was widely reported when we signed him that we were offering 100k/120k to put him along side Mina and Bernard.

Then in Jan it was widely reported that the reason we didn’t sell him was due to his 100k + wages. (Eg Fulham only willing to pay half of it of 50k).

The fees match up from us signing and trying to sell several years apart.

 

[everton1953]

What shock? Don't say more than 100k?

A shock that he actually is on that amount, if not potentially more.

Must remember in future to use " widely reported that" instead of "apparently".

Lots of clubs were after him at Watford I remember arsenal were linked and he had a knack of scoring goals and arriving in the box … be interesting to see his goal stats when Watford were in the prem
