Which is obviously what we bought a FOOTBALLER in to do, run around without the ball - and when he gets it, give it straight back. Then run around some more, then give it back.

All the running around he does it to try and sort his own mistakes. The first thing you are taught - VERY FIRST THING, is to retain possession. He doesn't. What is the point of running around a lot if you give it straight back? It's a futile endeavour, but it gives the fanboys something to hold onto, 'he's got a great engine that Doucoure'.

Below average FOOTBALL player, runs around a lot. Doesn't impress me one bit. We could employ Mo Farah to run around for 90 minutes and be equally as effective if that's the case.

Soon as he learns to consistently retain possession and find a blue shirt with a pass I'll change my opinion.
If only 90% of a footballers time on a pitch wasnt spent without the ball then you'd have a point.
The worlds best midfielder the RS said they bought in the summer, never gives the ball away, gets it gives it back points gets it gives it back.. all huff and puff.
Doucs is below average technically with the ball but makes up for that with his pace, stamina, strength and attitude. A team needs plenty of different cogs for it to work and he has been vital for us this season.

Oh I'm fully aware of that mate. I'm just of the opinion that a footballer needs to be able to play football.

Yeah every good team needs a right few of them, but we'll always need someone to do the dirty work and not look pretty while doing it.
