Player Valuation: £100m
I could see our LB slot being well covered by Nkounkou and Mykolenko for the future. Both are a huge downgrade from Digne, whose transfer a week before Benitez' sacking is a black mark against the management, or lack, of at our club. But Nkounkou at home in games we will be on the front foot and Mykolenko when we are away against the top 6 seems like reasonable coverage. They both might get a chance with a more progressive manager in charge.
Benitez was really bad, never gave young players much of a chance but also got rid of any senior pro he saw as a challenge to his authority. Left us with mediocrity on the pitch and no passion.
Over the next 18months we will see an upward trajectory from our full backs...while Digne seemed to be on a downward one.
