Jeremy Doku

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

He’s actually very Sterling esque.

Small, low centre of gravity, very quick over the first few yards to get away from players.

Hazard is his idol, if we can him close to that level we laughin.

Would be a bargain at 50mill.. extremely talented player. Was belgiums best player when he came on against Croatia in the wc. Takes his man on and would give us that insane speed we need some games. Really excited about this

Nice to hear! Hope we can bag him midweek.

His end product is not as good as hazard.. so far… but if he played for us I would assume that would change as defenders would have to guard haaland as well as our other players so I see him banging in more goals. Others have mentioned his injuries as well but I am very confident in our physios and think he will be just fine.

You should have used the spoiler alert option.

Are you a member of Yazoo or the Flying Pickets?

for a young guy his injury record is quite a risk factor which should limit the transfer fee ...2x knee & many muscle problems for a longer period of time...agree with some other users that his player profile is similar to Sterling...don`t watch the french league/belgium national team but is he really more talented than for instance Borges/Olise etc?..his numbers aren`t great & the french league is only the fifth strongest in Europe

Yazoo is one my favorite.

Well do you remember some one named gundogan?
Yes he is way ahead of our kids in terms of experience sadly and yes he plays in farmers league but he has show cased his ability on international level regardless of farmers league.

The highest level Borges has ever played at has been the EDS or the U21 Euros(in which he really struggled to impose himself)... So yes, Doku is better than him...

Insofar as all anyone can do is read tea leaves it does look like Doku and Paqueta will complete our summer business. Feels like both signings have loads of potential and as always with City put the right shapes into the right holes.

Love the Strawberry one.

Don't know why but more excited about this guy than Paqueta

We've got the best medical department in the world theyl be looking at that and hopefully have a plan for how to manage him. I have total confidence in the club to identify the right player!

 

[Complex Simplicity]

Coming round to the idea of bringing Doku in. He'd come in not expecting to start, he'd come in on low wages and Rennes should be easy enough to deal with.

Doku gives us something we haven't got, and reading Mbappe's comments about Doku being the the most impressive player he's seen in France for another club, go and get him City! I'll always back our business, we've not been wrong yet!

Whether we actually get him or not is separate, but he’s quality and very different to Sterling who was quite one dimensional. Wouldn’t solely judge him off numbers. The concerns regarding injury are fair, but I’m confident that’s something we’ll be looking into as well. As for the French league, some of the best talents are signed from there so means nothing re; numbers there.
