2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Ged G]

There`s nothing negative about having a laugh at a player of Doucoure`s ability.

Except that he has ability as Moyes and others know

 

[hallamblue]

Or score crucial goals? Hang on....

That's one thing he can do

 

[blueboy72]

We have some shocking "Evertonians" here, I am a positive Bluenose but sometimes even I despair at some of the attitudes here. We win today, a massive, unexpected three points, but still some come out of their dark places and slag the scorer etc. Why bother? Ultimately, I think it's down to intelligence.

Intelligence fans come out saying doucoure was great and he deserves a new deal, then you’re going to get opposition to that, your 2nd post to me you start going on about you’ve watched Everton longer than me etc. when you haven’t a clue what I’ve watched and for how long.

I don’t rate doucoure and never have and he’s not the only one at the club,
He’s cost the club about 50milion pound, if you think putting shift every week
And scoring 4 or 5 important goals in 5 years = value for money, then fair enough, I don’t

 

[Ged G]

That's one thing he can do

An important thing, especially this season, especially when some others do not

 

[T LEAFE]

He is not our best ever player
But he has scored some very important goals for us
He has always given 100%
And he has always loved our club
So appreciate that

I think because we've signed so many terrible players that an average player who tries hard is rated way above what they should be.

Exactly mate. Appreciation rather than unjustified hatred.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

My view of him has always been how many goals does he stop us scoring by failing to control and pass in the final third as opposed to the ones he does score, we will never know but a better player in his position gets us a lot higher up the table. He gives his all and he does score some important goals, he's synonymous with Everton's current standing, we need to improve but we have moments of joy as well.

I don't think people hate him. I think they hate the fact that a player as limited as Doucoure is on the team sheet most weeks, because it shows how poor we are. He wouldn't even get in the squad of any of the top 8.

100% it’s like how many fans would want us to sign 27yr old doucoure this summer for 20mil and 100k a week

Like most of our players, but he is singled out.

 

[hallamblue]

Like most of our players, but he is singled out.

Because he earns twice what most of them do

 

[Rita_Poon]

Quite the player is Doucoure. Signed as a bit of a lightning rod, physicality, put himself about and rough a few opposition up. Was never going to be Pirlo was he, or Modric for that matter. Holds a couple of very special places in Everton history.

Firstly, that goal that kept us up vs Bournemouth 28th May 2023.
Secondly, holds the record for the fastest goal scored in PL history by a home player. That's right, the fastest.
It's also Evertons fastest ever PL goal.

Wraps up his time here (September 2020-May 2025) with good grace, like him or not a huge part of our history now. Wish him nothing but the best.

Still this.

We've had some shockers attempt to play for us, and they're miles apart from Abdoulaye. Far from a refined silky football artiste, but does our cup runneth over?

 

[Street end man]

I think Doucs will be remembered more fondly than Lewin. This lad seems to truly love EFC. His engagement with the fans today was real, genuine and heart warming.

The Duke is as The Duke does.
