Onana is streets ahead of doucoure as a footballer, the guy is a starter for Belgium at 22. Lampard wanted to play football and realised he wasn’t doing that with doucoure. Doucoure has been poor since coming from injury, but dyche will pick him every week and next season no matter his form he will be our trampoline shins number 10 all next season

Thing is though even as a better footballer he doesn't influence games. Doucoure even with his obvious limitations puts in the sort of shift that Dyche sees as vital and he pops up with crucial goals.

If it comes down to selling Onana or Brainthwaite it’s Onana all day long. I’m sure there’s a great player in there but he just isn’t consistent enough for us to hold onto him and wait for him to become consistent. Bainthwaite is top class and shows that week in and week out and he will be a big miss if we sell him. I’m sure we will end up letting both go due to needing the cash
Think he probably gets a sore neck from looking to the sky all the time

Would love to keep both, but if we must sell one, it has to be Onana.
Branthwaite is already a Rolls Royce of a defender.
Onana is just potential

Because dyche plays him off the striker, as a centre mid doucoure got 4 goals in 70 games. Onana has 3 in 60. And any centre mid is wasted under dyche, because we usually have 35% possession and the ball goes over thier heads
I’d sell too, but the guy is a much better footballer than doucoure and it’s not even close, he will win 100 caps for Belgium and play regular champions league football and win trophies
yep not at us
Lost me at Lampard wanted to play football.
It was a poor decision based, on the fact we could have dropped 30 odd million on a playmaker we needed and still need rather then build a layer on top of another 8. The mo ey would have been better spent on someone like MGW.
As for Doucoure, sure we know his limits, I don’t know why people will him to be something he’s not, but since coming back into the team he was our most influential player, he wrote his own history. Even now those who understand game, see what he brings to the team and system when he’s bang out of form, he’s clearly been rushed back to quickly and not playing at 100%.
I don’t know why people dumb down every argument to opposing forces, sure Onana is a good player who kick on, sure Doucoure has hugely influenced the club forwards - both things exist - doesn’t mean we needed both compared to a playmaker in the summer of 22.
In fact I’d swap one for a playmaker this summer, prob Onana to be fair, the lad has an eye on a move eventually.
You called them similar players, there not. No need for the long post

But I stand by the point that Doucoure fits the system Dyche will continue with. Onana has long term potential but unfortunately we don't have the time to let him develop. If we can make a good profit it's the best for both parties.
No two players are the same, but they are more similar then say Pickford and Onana.
And both more similar to the squad than say MGW, which is the point I made, what was more useful to the squad at the time, two 8s or a playmaker,
It’s fairly simple.
