I rate the player just don't think he's quite what we really need. Doucoure is best utilised as a box to box midfielder in the Matuidi mould. Think this team is crying out for an out and out defensive midfield specialist. Someone who isn't interested in the fancy stuff and likes to just sit in front of the defence tackling anything that moves and sniffing out danger.

Imagine Kante + Doucoure operating behind Ozil on our team.

Imagine Ozil operating in front of a midfield of Doucoure and Nzonzi... with Ramsey rotating and Elneny back up dm.

with his athleticism and ability to cover ground, I could see doucoure being just that. has a motor and is technical, which is much better than we have and more. xhaka would actually thrive next to him. not that i'd settle on xhaka staying but doucoure would compliment granit.

I do like the idea of doucoure and nzoni or doucoure and kante
cheers!

Screw that they are both hard working defensive midfielders, one or the other.

Watford head coach Javi Gracia has admitted that in-demand midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure could leave the club.

The 25-year-old Frenchman has drawn the attention of several European powers, including Arsenal and PSG.


Yes please

Watford are under no pressure to sell unfortunately.

Has no release clause in his contract which runs until 2023.

Watford have rejected Everton's initial bid for midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure. The Hornets want £25m for the 27-year-old Frenchman. (Standard)


Why aren't we in for him at that price?

Cheaper and vastly better than Partey

If we get Partey instead of him, Arteta has to go
