Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Do you think Doucoure could play deeper?

 

No I don't think he's got the legs for it, everton fans appreciate what he's done but they all hated when he starts for them.

 

He’s a unit but he’s better edge box.

I don't see how he converts to DM at his age.

I’d have taken him 2 weeks ago

 

Not for me mate, it's such a tough role to play. Doucoure's biggest strength is his physicality but positionally he's poor so I'd be staying away from him as a CDM option

 

Doucoure is a no for me. Played almost as a 10 last season but doesn't create, doesn't shoot or score, doesn't carry the ball and won a shocking 37% of his duels. Next.

 

But apart from that he's canny?

 

for PL exp can we really be that choosy?

for me any additon is a welcomed one, for him and (if it happens) hendo comes in its not like they will be playing each week or even starting, will just be for guidance

 

Great head of hair

 

Well doucoure wants 150k a week so id be a little choosey.

 

We can be a bit choosy.

We can’t just buy ****e cos of experience.

I get your sentiment to a degree, but he’s 30 so he’s still gonna swallow a lot of wage, and he doesn’t look a player that’s gonna bring on the young lads, being that he isn’t all that himself.

Hendo is a different beast.

 

This whole prem experience thing, I did agree, but it's strange to see comments from Le Fee saying he thought Ligue 1 was more physical than the Championship, and people say that is more physical than the prem

 

Cheers marra.....I'll remove him from my optimistic signings register forthwith!

 

Yeh I don't think "Prem Experience" is what it used to be. Foreign coaching and tactical influences mean the game isn't that much different here versus everywhere else.

Now of course, it's still beneficial. I just don't think we should take an under par player because they have specific Premier experience.

 

Can't stand **** like this. I don't blame clubs for doing it though

 

this is how Chelsea overcame FFP. Sell your womens team to your own owners for hundreds of million.

 

the heat is absolutely draining me, and I work inside the house

 

im in an old grade 2 list old nurses home ( its all offices now) my office is like an oven,

i am on glass 10 of water.

 

We thinking any announcements today then?

 

They have to do Diarra today surely, Ghisolfi would be nice too.

Just wack out articles and do the media at a later date
