Honestly no. However it is reported that he is very highly regarded. French press reckon he is the best in his position (Ball Winning Defensive Midfielder) in the French league and believe Palace have signed him for a bargain fee.

Obviously all here-say but this is a signing that I had hoped for and excites me.

Yes, me too. I'm honestly not trying to do him down or put the mockers on the deal. Hoping he's a resounding success and stays for many years.

The media was right with whom many had said we was interested in signing him in April. Only person I ever take notice of when it comes to Football Transfers is Fabrizio Romano.

Yeah, he is usually on the money.

I'm just enjoying our current spending power.

I have a feeling he doesn't yet know the love that will be coming his way. He's going to have a great time here.

Having watched his first interview I think I love him already!

Now the deal is signed, sealed, delivered....has anyone actually seen him play?

I watched Lens last game, he looked class and worked really well in tandem with Fofana who is probably as good if not better. Shame we couldn’t get both

That's good to hear. Arsenal were linked with Fofana last month for around £35m.

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well. Big time Ligue 1 viewer here. I’ve just done a video breaking down everything you can expect to see from Cheick Doucoure. Believe me, you’ve landed a gem here and I have no doubt that he’ll prove to be one of the signings of the summer. I’ve always had a soft spot for Palace and enjoyed my trips down to Selhurst Park in the past so am happy to see him making this move. I’d love to hear your thoughts and am happy to answer any questions you may have in mind, cheers!

I have trawled the web and youtube and he looks really good. A proper tackling midfielder that gets the ball and does not just lump it up to the front but plays a decent pass.
I reckon he will do well for us.

It does doesn't it. Let's not forget though he is only 22 and moving to the hardest league on the planet. If it takes him a little while to bed in then it is only to be expected. Can we play a midfield 5 of him, Hughes, Eze, Zaha and Olise that converts to 4-3-3 when attacking or do we think he will need more defensive support?

Keep to the 433

Johnstone

Clyne, Anderson, Guehi, Mitchell,

Hughes Doucoure
Eze,

Olise Mateta Zaha

That is starting to look like a very good side.

I feel we still need quality cover for Mitchell but a cheeky loan of Wan Bissaka would allow Ward to play over there, assuming Ferguson manages to get himself injured again.

Need another striker too.

I have never heard of him let alone seen him play. Is he any good?

I thought Tayo Adaramola was that: unless he goes on loan. He seems to be further ahead than Mitchell was at his age

How long does it take for Doucoure's international clearance to come through.

Indeed. It's been 7 hours and 15 days, since we 'signed' Cheick Doucoure.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Since he has indeed been signed, and a thread has been opened in Palace Talk, this one will now be locked and you can continue any conversations over there.
