Palfy Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Reports that we are back in the frame with Arsenal for him, could we be a better draw for his signature not sure, but he will definitely be a starter with us not guaranteed at Arsenal.

Btay Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 He walks into our team and instantly improves it. Himself or Kondogbia would be a massive boost of energy and presence whilst providing quality with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though we know Carlo prefers a four, I think those three could be really dynamic. With a really good left footed winger/striker to compliment Richarlison and DCL, could be really interesting.

RuffRob Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 not overly keen on this - think he is an OK player - pretty average. A poor man's Gana. Pretty good off the ball, but not that great with it. Would much prefer to see Allan as our DM purchase - not sure we would purchase both this summer with GBamin and Delph still at he club. Don't think he's had a particular good season with Watford this year, and their fans sound happy enough if he was to leave. So not a great sign.

c1982 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I would imagine most deals are ‘agreed’ with players/agents before the clubs to be fair. I think we want Allan and another. It could be Doucoure or this could just be a ploy to force Napoli’s hand a little. StevO, markjazzbassist and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I just find this odd. He was a player we wanted last year with a different manager and now he is apparently a target of Ancelotti’s and ahead of a player he has worked with before? I'd guess its BS.

London Blue Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 He knows Richarlison which is a help and is a dynamic box to box player in his prime which we sorely need. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Opinion of a Watford fan from another forum: "Im a Watford ST holder, so have watched most if not all their games this season. I don't recall seeing Doucoure play in any of them. I assumed it was his twin brother because he has been nothing short of woeful and completely inept in every game this season. Complete chalk and cheese to seasons prior to this. He decided a long time ago he wanted to leave and his performances have echoed that. At times he looked like he was trying, but his head dropped easily and he honestly showed no technical ability last season.Keeping Sarr, Capoue and Deulofeo would be a good window for Watford" Hopefully a move to us will motivate him to get back to his best under Carlo.

I would love to know how many player we were linked with the previous season do actually sign for us in the end because I doubt its many and we have seen about 3 in the last few days.

From how I understand the director of football situation; manager says “I need a midfielder”, director of football comes back with a bunch of options and they agree on targets. If Brands has brought Doucoure to the table and Carlo likes what he sees, they go for it. I agree that it’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds.
