2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

He's the highest paid footballer at the club, he should be carrying the can. Not enough of an engine or technical skill to be a centre mid, not enough composure to be a number 10, you can see why Lampard got frustrated at him, and it doesn't excuse Doucoure's behaviour that night for me.
I agree to a point, had he seen much of the Niasse situation or maybe heard about it from the koeman days? It's easy for fatso-frank to give it the big un, he had Drogba in front of him and Makalele behind him, what a chore that must've been.

Doucoure doesn't offer himself whatever contract, I know his brain and his legs are wired on different circuits.

A single player can't lift this lot, we've a geriatric at RB, we've a former wannabe gymnast at LB, we're starting a recently cruciate ligament damaged player now who's surprise gotten injured.

Doucoure was brought in to top off with effort the quality around him, not to provide said quality. The quality has been moved on around him and now he is naked of any thing productive. It's been done to him. He didn't jump out to Real, or force James out, or fall out with Digne, or turn gordons head... and and and....

He is a symptom of a greater evil, run as streak through the entire club. Back in a very infamous ladies* day it was called managed decline.

Managed decline is where we are.

Highest paid footballer at the club!?

How did that nugget evade my consciousness for so long? That makes matters much much worse.
