2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Marius57]

he came off the pitch when it was already 2-2 after he had given man utd both free kicks that they scored from

Second one was Young who gave away the free kick. Doucoure then challenged after they had been given advantage which is why it was pulled back.

First free kick was abysmal by him though.

And yet we drop points when hes taken off...

We got 3 points last week without him playing a minute, and we’d already gone to 2-2 yesterday with him on the pitch

You know soccer is an English term that fell in fashion in the 70’s and out of fashion in the 80’s right? They used it a lot on itv iirc.

Short for the ‘association’ part of ‘association Football’ - it was at a time when the commentators for rugby league used to call it ‘rugby football’… which it is, obv.

Yes, I know that but times have changed, languages are organic, and "soccer" is now seen as an American term...

Please stop playing him.

Worked a treat having his energy against the least mobile side in the league then as soon as the fatigue hits his limitations are exposed and he becomes the opposition’s best player. If he HAS to start he has to be subbed before his built-in Sunday league switch is activated.

Not just America but Australia and Canada. South America adopts both at times. I still call it Football.

Watching the latest Access Goodison video and noticed he did the 'I'm staying here' celebration after scoring. I know he's redeemed himself slightly after the post derby antics, but I hope he means staying at Goodison, and not coming to BMD.

 

[Terrarian]

if he stays on he needs to take a drastic pay cut, I'm hoping the days of £100k players, while we aren't a European team, are long gone. That has crippled us and almost ruined us, we need sensible contracts now.

Just watched that, has me massively concerned that some mug is going to offer him another season.

The big European clubs used to attract players with big money, on condition certain targets were reached. So if a player wanted to earn his 100k he`d have a basic salary of about half and the rest of the 100k would be made up through bonuses for goals scored, assists, clean sheets, game wins, trophy wins etc. it would be nice to be able to do this and make the players earn the money rather than have them pocket it by under achieving.

Alcaraz has a trigger in his contract that he have to sign after X amount of starts

whilst he's looking good I dont think anyone would say lets deffo sign him now

so I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Doucoure until that threshold for Alcaraz's clause is no longer attainable, especially with N'Diaye injured

Was thinking this. That way they can have a good look at him without being obligated to buy. Can also negotiate on the fee that way if we did want him

Can’t fault his pressing in games, problem is he is goosed after 60 mins. His biggest problem though is he is atrocious when he has the ball. Have never known a player to give away possession so much even when all he has to do is make the simplest of passes.

It's only gonna get harder for Doucs and Gana during Ramadan, though at least the hours aren't too brutal, nor the weather.

It’s going to be a tough one for the pope this time, that’s for sure.
