2021/22 Lucas Digne

[4737carlin]

I have actually said in the past that I would tolerate benitez staying if moshiri went.

In away what's going is has really highlighted how bad Moshiri is

 

[Magnifico1988]

It’s clear LD doesn’t want to play FOR the team as the tactics don’t suit HIM. He doesn’t want to sit and defend as that is obviously not his best attribute, while I take on board he wants to play offensive and being an attacking left back. We can’t do that as we don’t have the team or players as it leaves us defensively vulnerable. I would honestly sell him in January, and get players in that want to play for the team and manager.

He’s been garbage for the past 18 months anyway. I’m no Benitez fan whatsoever and can’t wait to see the back of him, but if Digne has thrown a sickie tonight then he’s an absolute disgrace. He’s being paid a fortune by this club and given the state of the squad, he should be ashamed of himself.

Cash in on him in Jan and hopefully this Ukrainian lad will show a bit more commitment to the club and the supporters.

I’m not against signing a 22 year old to replace him tbh. Maybe we should’ve thought to do this with Coleman when he was 28/29 rather than waiting for his legs to fall off.

100%

Nice to see the fans turning on our best players as usual.

Stones.
Lukaku.
Barkley.
Coleman.
Mina.
Pickford.
Cahill.
Niasse.

To name but a few that have had this treatment. Calvert Lewin will be next when it takes him time to regain form while returning to a struggling side.

This is why we aren't allowed nice things.

If you look back at all the players weve had in the premier league that joined before they were 27.

Then consider those who we kept into their 30s.

Wouldnt it have been better for us to sell at 29 for good money and reinvest in u23 aged players who could have pushed us on more?

Digne is class.

With the news that this Ukrainian lad is signing you have to think Benitez has got digne a move lined up, and he's keeping him injury free?

Hope it's for big money if so.

Personally, I'm sorry about this whole episode and to see him leave when he goes - absolutley not the 1st player I'd be turfing, but maybe one of the few saleable assets, so we're cashing in?

It does seem like weve done a Digne deal already.

The Ukrainian lad flew in today. Met the Everton dignitaries, supposedly signed up all ready for the new year. Looks like Dignes on his way?

Is that confirmed?

Hahaha no.

 

[Toast]

He has been gash for 12 months.

I do like him though.

I realise this dosent help in the debate about him like…

Textbook Zat.

Textbook Zat.

He’s not far wrong though is he. I don’t want to see Lucas go, but, if we really have signed this Ukrainian lad, at least there is a chance we may have bought ourselves a few more years at left back. In an ideal world he would be back up yo Lucas until summer and gradually introduced to the team.

 

[AussieToffee11]

The sacrificial lamb to our FFP situation.

Flipping him allows us to bring in significant reinforcements.

A shame to have ended how it has, but football is a brutal game, and if it allows us to get a RB and another midfielder plus the Ukrainian fella, then it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the memories Lucas.

 

[Bob Elstone]

If he’s faked sickness to not play he wants shooting. Club on its backside playing European champions with the kids whilst he’s at home getting paid. Get shot asap

 

[malmic]

Should be sold

 

[bluematty84]

Do you reckon he had to phone Rafael and put on his ‘sick’ voice.

 

[Zatara]

Do you reckon he had to phone Rafael and put on his ‘sick’ voice.

I think it went like this:


Digne: "I am fit and available to play"

Benitez: "If you pretend you are sick until you are sold then you will receive your loyalty bonus".

Digne: "Ok, I'll say im sick"

Benitez: "Good, now i need to call Mina".

 

[Micronman]

Yes. Everton’s secretary was there.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Should be sold

Why?
