Just scored again. 8 in 9
There were some rumors that Southampton was targetting him with the Van Dijk money.
His value will have increased exponentially from what it was in the summer when some of his potential was still 'speculation' - now it is definitely there. Interesting to see if Fulham get through the play-offs - i don't think they'd sell if they got promotion, but expect they would have their hand forced if they don't.
I'm not so sure they wouldn't sell even if they get promoted. They'll need to strengthen that squad big time and may have to cash in on Sessegnon in order to do so.
Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij looks likely to leave in June with his contract renewal having been withdrawn, according to the the Italian club's sporting director.
Sky in Italy reported last summer that Liverpool were interested in signing the 26-year-old Dutchman.
His current deal is due to expire at the end of the season and negotiations for an extension have dragged on.

I think we cooled our interest
Maybe, but he was reported to be close to signing an extension. We dropped out of the Akanji race for some reason.
Have to say De Vrij would make a lot of sense for us now. Out of contract in the summer, the persistent injury problems seem to have subsided somewhat ("only" missed 5 games this season), he is Van Dijk's international teammate and fits Klopp's game perfectly in terms of playing style. His long-range passing is arguably even better than Van Dijk's. Even if we can't trust his fitness completely, we should have enough quality back-up, but on a free it would be a no-brainer.
We'll face a lot of competition, of course.

Cant wait to see him at United under Mourinho tracking back and making tackles at left wing back.
Did he play for Pardew or Rafa? Remember Masher and Tevez failed under Pardew. Pretty good clips and showing some physical strength.

Abdoulaye Doucoure
Has 7 Goals and 3 Assists this season for Watford. I've never noticed him before but he reminds me of that hapless defender we had, Djimi Traore due to those long lanky legs.

Yeah, there's going to be a bum fight for him this Summer. I think we should be one of those bums.
Tevez kept West Ham in the premier league, much to Neil Warnock's dismay.
Is it racist to confuse Pardew and Curbishley?
He definitely hasn't. Richarlson, the other Watford one to watch, has tailed off, but Dacoure has looked better and better as the season has gone on.
To be fair, other than watching a few games over the season, most of my knowledge of the player comes from my friend who has had him in his FF from early in the season. He has been his secret weapon.
I'm not bored enough to fight, least of all with Fabs.
I thought it was Pardew aswell.
Tevez and Masher were signed in Pardew's time but he was gone a few months later and Curbishley took over.
A quick google reveals Pardew got sacked and replaced by Curbishley that season, so he played under both.
He's still the heartbeat of that midfield
But that midfield is Watford, who are afforded a lot of space.
Over the 2 seasons, This season has been his breakout season. 50+ appearances for Watford. Numbers for Rennes weren't great.
If he was 22, then yeah maybe. 26 soon so can he kick on (I know it's not old)?
Reminds me of diame. Decent midfielder, made to look better by the shite around him
Are Watford midfield afforded lots of space?
The thing is, Dacoure has often anchored the midfield, so his stats are really quite impressive in that regard, though I don't think he should strictly be assessed by 'numbers'. According to Transfer Markt.com the majority of his goals and assists have come from games where he has played DM (17 games, 4 goals and 3 assists; 10 games in CM have given him 3 goals and 1 assist). I like his height, something we'll need in midfield with the loss of Can, and his range of passing is excellent. Can see him and Keita complementing each other well.
Si this fine interesting thread turned into a discussion about that bitter Dacourt??
