Jeremy Doku

Exciting signing, if it’s actually done. Why isn’t it on the bbc sport website?

They are still writing a negative spin on the story, working out what currency shows the fee in the highest amount and adding up our spend since we were founded

This signing is as much about creating more panic and space so that Haaland has more space, as it is about Doku’s goal and assist stats. Great thinking I recon again from our Pep.

Two words, one name; Giorgios Samaras. He looked like prime 2011 Messi on YT!

Sometimes, at night, when I can’t sleep….I see visions of his attempted overhead kick on his debut

Agreed. You don't keep a complicated fellow like Pep at your club, and happily, for as long as we have without bending over backwards to get him what he wants. That will include in the market more than anything.

Pep is similar to Dr Frankenstein, Txiki is the Count working with him to get the proper parts for his creation. Pep assembles based on his vision, which, I'm reasonably sure, is focused with an interaction with and appreciation for Txiki's opinion.

Is he actually good or are we just desperate to see a signing? Need to know where my hype levels should be.

 

[not my fault!]

According to wiki , he’s known as ‘The Belgian Flash’ !!?! …

Fuck me, we’ve already got one of them in Walker and don’t get me started on Mendy.

 

[Haaland94]

You do know that a player can only get an assist if another player does their bit and puts the ball in the net?

Chance creation is a much better stat.

Jeremy Doku for Rennes 2022/23:
Games: 29
Goals: 6
Assists: 2
Shots: 26
Chances created: 30

That's about 1 per match. In comparison, Jack had 2,2. Anyway, I hope his end product improves. He is only 21, so hopefully, he can become better than Jack. If he does, he will be one of the best players in Europe in his position.

Hopefully it means Foden/Bernie will play more in the middle and palmer/Doku keep the right.

i hope Palmer stays, him and Doku are very different style of players

 

[Tricky_Trev]

In 62 matches (19/20, 20/21), Jack had 30 G+A for Aston Villa. In 75 matches (20/21, 21/22, 22/23, 23/24), Doku had 17 G+A for Rennes. Rennes is also higher up the table than Aston Villa and in the French league, so his end product is concerning. Everything else is great though, so hopefully Pep can iron it out.

What were Grealish’s stats aged 21 and younger?

Pace is a major, major attribute. Especially when it’s combined with skill and the ability to get past players. Not something to be sniffed at as ‘just quicker’ IMO

....did Usan Bolt ever get that contract in the pub league 'down under' .....thought not, pace is useless without an end product.....we will see, hopefully he develops into a world beater ;)
