2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Charro]

Would personally be totally alarmed if we offered him a new deal. Huge red flag for the new ownership.

They won’t be the ones making the decision.

It makes sense to try and keep as many of these players as we can with the amount of work that needs doing in the summer.

Reduced wage and reduced role in the squad is fine.

This is what we all said when he got his last extension, and he ended up with a pay rise out of it and being deemed undroppable.

He was one of our most important players at that time though.

I’d be disappointed if the Saudis don’t come and offer £10m for him.

It really shouldn’t be fine. He’s absolutely awful at premier league football. If we’ve got ambition this guy shouldn’t even be getting in the squad if he was to offer his services for free. This has been the issue last few years, oh he’s fine he’s better than so and so, well if any of these out of contract players get extensions with the exception of gueye on a reduced contract It’s a joke. This is our chance to make these changes and stop accepting mediocrity.

I hope you deal well with disappointment

If we offer him a new contract it stinks of laziness, don't anyone tell me we can't get a player as bad as him for less wages.

fixed

Until that happy day when we get this 'long term' No.10...if indeed Moyes wants to play with one??? July at the earliest?

We have a kid from south America who will offer more Imo. Ok I doubt he plays him Tomorrow as I think against them he will go for experience and we won’t have a lot of the ball. But i think In a few weeks when we have games that we will hopefully be on the front foot more, I think he may give Alcaraz a chance

Hate to break it to you but we’re still going to see plenty of mediocre players over the next few years.

He’s been a very important player for us.

 

[blueboy72]

I think he’s been a really good player for us and have seen much worse in my 30 years supporting us.

Not my fault this team has been rubbish for the majority of my fandom.

He’s in a rubbish team,
Because he’s rubbish. That’s why he’s spent the majority of his prem career fighting relegation. And I’m not sure who you think he’s better than, because ive supported us for 50yrs and technically he’s one of the worst midfielders I’ve seen in that time.

You’re just talking rubbish now.

Sorry.

Technically the worst player we’ve had for 50 years.

Complete drivel.

I’m not so sure, psr reset and new rules coming in, I think it’s 85% of your income on wages, which should be easily doable. Add in new sponsorships deals,
Restructured loans, the extra revenue from
The ground, a naimimg rights deal. High earners of the wage bill, I’d expect us to spend some decent money in the summer. And finally add some quality to the squad

One of the worst I said , he’s along side the likes of Claus Thompson etc.

Garner, Tim, tarkowski, mykolenko, Patterson, McNeil will all be part of the squad next season and they’re all mediocre.

Yes just like Mykolenko who’s under contract, Beto, could go on but thankfully we’ve got lots whose contracts are expiring and shouldn’t be renewed. Very important player really? He’s a terrible player, yes he’s popped up with important goals but he’s dreadful. Pickfords been a very important player Doucoure no not for me.
