He's certainly surpassing my expectations. However I am a little concerned that he will be burnt out come early 2016, there's a lot of games to come between now and then and we don't really have an alternative to him. I agree with the sentiment that having not forked out on that CM (Kramer, Witsel, etc) has allowed him to flourish and make that position his own, still doesn't disperse any concerns. Last season Arsenal were shouting about the emergence of Coquelin, yet it's a dangerous game expecting so much from a young player for the duration of a highly competitive season. I'd like to think we would buy an alternative in Jan, just to give him the occasional rest to help maintain his form.Dier's performance in DM was exceptional. I genuinely feel like he's saved us £20m in the transfer market
