He has two goals and one assist all season but fun hypothetical I guess
Yes but what about that ground covered eh

Mate, he earns over 100 grand a week. The bare minimum he should do is run for 65 minutes once a week. He doesn't need grown men singing his praises on here in return. I've always worked hard in my job and didn't get a round of applause each time I entered the office, and certainly wasn't earning 3x more than colleagues much more able than I was.I can't believe the level of disrespect on here for a guy who always works like a dog for the blue shirt. If a match finished 3-0 to us, with Doucoure having a goal and two assists, lots of posters would still be moaning about the instances where he miscontrolled the ball or misplaced a pass. I'm not saying he should be a long term first teamer, but what about some respect, please, for a 100% trier and regular contributor to good results?
2 goals in 25+ games is not regularly! It's an absolutely pitiful return for a number 10 earning over 100 thousand pounds per week.He is not as bad as some have decided. Yes, often tires in the second half, yes, he gives the ball away too much. But he is full of energy, running, pops up regularly with crucial goals. Thing is, could we, given our recent history etc, have got better? Can we find a suitable replacement soon?
Alcaraz…. 10 years younger, potential to be a fan favourite, fraction of his wage, very likely more end product.He is not as bad as some have decided.

Wouldn't work reducing his wages to that extent, he'd feel devalued and under appreciated which in turn will affect his performances and general mood in the dressing room. Human psychology is something us fans never really factor into these kind of decisionsI season deal for no more than £40,000 a week. That might be being generous. Being a donkey with ball at your feet is not ok at this level. He has pressed really well under Moyes but we need players in his position to contribute with regular assists and goals.
I doubt that he will be given another contract but if he does should not be more than the average Championship wage or league one reflecting his present form and ability. He does try but unfortunately not good enough at the moment for an upcoming premiership squad.
The Times is just quoting what's been reported, which is we aren't taking up the option to pay him £120k a week for another year. We will make him an offer, and it will be a damn sight more than the £5k a week we offered Tom Davies! I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed for one more season, as I can see him enjoying playing for Moyes, but it needs to be on a lot less money.According to the Times Everton have decided not to extend his contract ( rumour )
I read last week our win % when he starts compared to when he doesn’t
If someone can dig up those stats a lot of people will be very very surprised
Didn’t work like a dog when Lampard dropped him, spat his dummy out and was a c u next Tuesday by all accounts, walking off the training ground, that’s disrespectful to his teammates, sitting on the ball in the warm up, can’t remember who that was against.I can't believe the level of disrespect on here for a guy who always works like a dog for the blue shirt.

it’s true not just a rumour and we beat palace the other week without him, we’ve hardly won many football matches in the last few years, so wouldn’t read into them stats much, if we were challenging for Europe, then that’s different. We never win a game when Tarkowski doesn’t playAccording to the Times Everton have decided not to extend his contract ( rumour )
