Delighted he's back. My reception would have been a bit more luke-warm had we not been in the midst of an injury crisis, but given what's happened to our midfield in the last few weeks, Dougie is just about the best midfielder we could have signed. We know he has quality. He knows the club and the league. He knows the management and most of the players. If we're REALLY lucky, he'll hit the ground running next to Onana, and with Barkley coming back too, we might miss Kamara/Youri/SJM a bit less than we'd all feared.
They're not going to get a lot of rest, unless Unai is comfortable playing the kids in the cup games and for decent chunks of some premier league games, so we have to keep everything crossed we can get 8 weeks of continuous fitness out of all of them!
