Been thinking since yesterday about the Doucoure stories which i (and most of you here) find bit weird since we already signed Gbamin and are very short in CD and RW positions.
Silva gave couple of interviews this summer which can easily be translated as him being frustrated with the transfers situation, like one day before we announced the selling of Gueye he said he is waiting for him to return so he speaks with him about his future while it was all over the internet that the deal with PSG was almost done, as if Brands and the board were selling without even informing Silva (Silva knew what was going on that's why he said what he said), Brands then went and bought Gbamin as Gueye's replacement but Silva didn't accept it, who knows what happened behind the scene and suddenly we are being linked with Doucoure out of no where, we all know that Doucoure is not Brand's target, he is Silva's target.
I'm a bit worried that things between Silva and Brands are not as good as it seems, Brand's selling & buying on his own without coordinating with Silva, i might (hopefully) be wrong, but the Doucoure stories don't make any sense, especially this late in the window knowing we weren't linked with him at all before yesterday and the general feeling around the club (including the media folks close to us) were almost certain that Gbamin was Gueye's replacement and the DM/CM positions were sorted.
