11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

[mancityscot]

Special special player. Was delighted when we signed him, and so glad he’s shown everyone what he can do. Got an absolute gem on our hands.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Some will likely criticise his lack of defensive chasing back at times, but it's worth pointing out that it was Doku that robbed the Bournemouth player deep in our half before rounding a player and sending Bernardo through for his second. Commendable.

Well spotted. Noticed that on MOTD.

I wanted Sane back but Doku has certainly been brilliant so far :)

I think Sane was younger when he arrived at City but Doku is far more polished than Sane was.

Mmmmmmmmmm!! Trent v Doku in a couple of weeks

Superb performance, like everyone else here Pep loved it too:


“He's not just a player for one-against-one, or one-against two. He surprised all of us! He's a great footballer. He reads every action for exactly what he has to do.”

“He even creates something for our crowd; when he takes the ball and goes, everybody is excited, myself too, 'Oh something is going to happen!' And it happens!”

So Pep agrees, Doku MAKE things happen.

Yet another massive United transfer that has gone down the drain.

Mmmmmmmmmm!! Trent v Doku in a couple of weeks

Tackles will be above the knee after the first "on his backside moment" because Trent will not like being made to look a fool.

I wanted Sane back but Doku has certainly been brilliant so far :)

I've wanted sane back since he left, we've missed his directness and goals............Now we have Doku !!!!

Jack of course has other attributes, keeping possession, drawing players in, winning free kicks. But if you have a parked No 11 bus in front of you you need Doku to smash the fucker in.

Well done lad MOM by a mile..

Phenomenal performance!
Pep said he would like to see him doing his stuff on the right wing too, because he can.
So a Jack & Jeremy starting line-up is possible. It is only early November, we'll need all of our players.

Probably, he can even outrun defenders with 2 balls on his feet.

What kind of superstar do we have on our hands here.

He's 21 and already tearing teams up by himself.

I can already see him having a Vinicius Jnr like influence on our games

I'd love to see him partner Grealish on the wings too, I think that would be a really good combination. We'll need him to switch to the right for that which Pep was mentioning in the post match interview.

 

[JDV]

What does the amount of time u der Pep have to do with technique?

If I say his ball control is not as good as Mahrez's, so I have to wait for him to play 5 years under Pep too?

Are you still of the same opinion after these performances?

Obviously a lot of time to go to see the true result but the potential of Doku is very clear. Has the ability to create something out of nothing which is so rare with how good teams defend now.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. He’s very grounded and humble.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. He’s very grounded and humble.

Like this lad, he’s a baller.

Best young player of the year award unless the media give it to Sir Markus of Findus.

 

[Akira]

Absolutely on fire against Bournemouth. Max Aarons will have nightmares over that one for awhile.

A superstar in the making. I caught his debut for Belgium ages ago and honestly didn't think much of him, he was so raw then. What a wonderful player and signing he's turning out to be.

 

[MANCtrigger]

(Oasis - Don't look back in anger)

And sooo Doku can't wait,
We know your too late,
As he is flying on by.
He sooo slips away,
But don't look back in anger,
You'll lose all day

 

[Bluewars]

People were calling this monster 'RAW'

 

[Ken92]

He is exactly the player you want your winger to be,really quick,agile with good dribbling.Great start so far and will improve even more.

 

[Withnail]

Definitely not the finished article, nonetheless a very exciting talent who will give a lot of fb's a torrid afternoon this season. I think he has the potential to be a better player than Mahrez.

Mmmmmmmmmm!! Trent v Doku in a couple of weeks

So the liverpool player is the one who gets the first name treatment on our forum does he?
I agree with your point btw! , but fuck me, I do get triggered by that “Trent” business.
