2020/21 Lucas Digne

[AmericasToffee]

Every club loses their best players at some point. Get a good fee for him

PSG rumours starting

Seen that a couple of weeks ago! He’s the last player I’d sell but a mass exodus is what’s needed sadly

The problem is we won't sell the players who we really need to help change the culture of the place:

Gylfi
Keane
Pickford
DCL
Davies
Iwobi

Confidently predict all six will survive the summer. Good luck changing the club in meaningful way with this core of failures still in situ.

Bainsey getting his boots back out then?

you saying we should look at selling those 6 ?

Absolutely. All six.

The club should use this early summer chaos / opportunity to do a real change. Get rid of those six wasters, get rid of the majority of the backroom staff (or just start with Unsy and Donnachie), a few off the Board and let's go.

Otherwise you are just building on an unsound foundation.

Iwobi and siggy yes the others stay. Dom was 1 of only good points to rubbish carlo served up

Honestly would not be arsed who we sold it’s that bad.
Il guess at Gylfi and Davies won’t be around next season (Praying)
Iwobi will only go out on loan

Would love that to be correct but I confidently predict all six will still be here for the start of the season.

What a great example of how bad the mess at this club is than five of those failures having been here since at least 2017. The "spine" of the team. Pickford, an absolute calamity. Keane, the coward. Davies and Glyfi stood around looking lost in midfield. Purple Patch up front, fresh off 5 goals in 5 months.

At least four of them have been given new deals in that time. Gylfi is rumoured to be getting one.

WTF

This is the biggest disappointment of the whole thing. If we had a proper DoF structure certain players would all be jettisoned into space... instead they will get a clean slate.

Shocking yet despite how poor they are in any system or style they play in they’re continuously in and around the first team! I think that’s our issue we don’t have any other options do we?

Southampton still keen on Davies apparently. It may depend on how much they offer (they're skint) but the rumour is Davies isn't up for it.

Digne flatters to deceive a lot of the time as well, has done since he's been here. Some games he looks unplayable, others he looks like an imposter, same as everyone else really. He puts up decent numbers, but if we can get silly money for him, I wouldn't be gutted if he left. Especially seen as we are sitting on 2 excellent prospects in the same position, and Godfrey played his best football there when Digne was out of the side.

Same goes for Richarlison as well. He has done OK in fits and starts, but if we could get close to double our money as has been mooted, I don't think he's irreplaceable.

Honestly, the only 1st team players I would be bothered about keeping would be Calvert Lewin and Godfrey. They should be who we build the side around. James would be another, but I'm less convinced he will want to stick around.

I'd maybe say Holgate at a push if he could find his best form again. Plus, I don't think we would get a great deal for him.

I would add Gomes to that list but yeah your probably not far off.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Digne's probably the most marketable player we've got. He's been the most consistent over the season.
