Great today, apart from the free kicks which were woeful.

Another player who should now be looking to step up another level next season and become an established quality top flight player.

Do you not think he’s that now?

There are not many midfields I would swap ours for.
The combination of Doug SJM Bouboo and Ramsey.

The next step that he takes is to become one of the best midfielders in the league.

Small step that, he's dominated against almost everyone we've played in the last 3-4 months.

Outstanding again on Sunday, better than their WC winning midfielder.

I really believe we have one of the best midfielders in the country with our Dougie. He’s been outstanding since Emery has arrived. He’s so consistent as well, he never has a bad game.

Ever since he's been with us I've said he runs with the same stride that Dennis Mortimer ran with, and now he's taking on other characteristics.

Agreed, he's doing his best to grow a decent beard.

I think we've got three of the best midfielders in the country with him, McGinn and Ramsey, genuinely.

Don't forget Kamara as well!  This is already a Champions League level midfield before we sign anyone else.

Shit yes, the best of the lot.

I posted on her that after Emery's first game aginst Man Utd, I met a friend of a friend who was a huge Marseille fan. I mentioned Sanson had just got some minutes for us but he was only interested in Kamara, he was adamant that he would be a world class player, and this was before we'd really had a chance to see him playing in a functioning team.

He was so right.

This season he has become the player I think we all hoped he would be when we signed him.

Whilst you could argue the bloke with the alice band outgrew us too fast, Doug has actually grown in sync with us since joining, we could give him the time and games at the stage he needed them and may not have got elsewhere, and now we're both reaping the benefits of him putting it all together.

Yes, you may be right. The balance is just perfect.

Its a brilliant Midfield and I dont think we will be shopping for replacements but maybe depth in this area.

I always believed in Doug. In someways the biggest bonus is McGinn being rejuvenated, I thought he was done but he has been exceptional under Emery. Not needing to replace him is a big deal for us.
