Fans always take their players for granted . I know Coquelin is still at the beginning of his career . But he is at the level we should consider him already . Had he been playing for another team , we could have been saying why don't we bid for him . I have been watching quite regularly the likes of Bender , Kedhira, Scheiderlin, I can't see what they can offer more than Coquelin in terms of breaking the opponents play . They may have more experience than him and that's down to number of games played . While I'm not against getting one of them , especially Scheiderlin , but the world class tag is not as important as performance in that position.
