I expect EFC set a level as to what they thought he was worth, and Doucoure didn't go for it, which is fair enough. Previous Message
But the rebuilding job in the summer is huge and each regular first team player that goes leaves another position to fill.
On the flip side, I’m glad we’re no longer handing out massive contracts to players who have no resale value and who aren’t good enough on the pitch so in isolation of everything else it’s the right thing to let him go.
We have to trust that there is a plan, going to be a bumpy summer and the start to the season will be rocky (no change there then) with lots of new faces all trying to settle in.
I hope we can get enough business done early to offset some of that, going to be interesting, let’s face it, it’s never dull!
