2021/22 Lucas Digne

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

A fair and balanced assessment

Well, that's kind of my thing

I also juggle and make balloon animals

Just one win in last eleven games and people still back that manager
Go and show the way out to Richy, Dom and Mina
The grass is always greener on the other teams

 

[Baines' left foot]

why not - those are actually the tactics Benitez himself employs, particularly with players and also other staff members it seems when he wants to drive them out.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I hope the club folds.

He wants his fat Spanish arse fired into orbit from a massive sized cannon.

He’s obviously a good player, you only need to look at the international team he plays for and the teams he’s being linked with to see that. Wherever he goes it’ll be to a club higher up the league than us.

That said, manager’s fallen out with him so if the manager’s staying he needs to go. I’m unsure how this helps us from an FFP perspective and freeing up money for other signings though. No matter what you think of Digne as a player, surely there are other priority positions than left back?

How is selling Digne for £20 mil and signing the Ukrainian lad for £20 mil going to help us bring in players for other areas? I thought the idea was to raise money, I could understand if we had a cheap replacement for Digne and could then spend the remaining few on improving other areas of the squad. This is just swapping a left back for a left back.

I wouldn’t mind us selling him if this new kid turns out to be decent, as he’s at his peak price now and we need to sell to buy.

However, let’s not now make out as if he isn’t a very good footballer just cos it looks like he’s going, there was a period where he was excellent for us.

Love him as a player. He does not seem to be what Benitez is looking for at the position. The makes sense if we're trying to counter via runs rather than Route One. I question the ability of our present midfield to execute such a strategy, but I'm willing to suspend judgment until we see what else Benitez has up his sleeve.

We'll prob sell him for more than 20m and get the younger lad for abit under that. Added to that the younger lad will prob be on a lot less wages. I think it's wages that are causing our Premier League Sustainability issues mostly

There are certainly other areas where I would have preferred to spend that type of money.

I do not think it is about backing anyone. It us about giving him at least one tiny window to correct some things. He is still kind if a oart if the solution rather than a problem yet, I think. After alk we've been bad for years. And Brands left us nothing but oroblems. Give RB 30 days...

It is.

But while we've got Mina and Gomes on £100k a week, Delph abar £90k and hardly playing, it's not exactly helping

 

[marnie]

Probably who we should have signed all along

You were right on VVD

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Getting rid of one of our best players to appease a fat former Liverpool coach. Everton that!

 

[billybadger]

He’s been a shadow of himself for a good while now…. in fact my mum could take a better corner than him this season

 

[tom_b1807]

I see Juve want him but I don't fancy getting into any sort of deal with them tbh given the possible trouble they might be in.

Not Juve. We will end up sending him on a 3 year loan with a £30 million buy clause if they win the champions league

 

[MACCA75]

Fairly obvious he has kicked his last ball for Everton. Shame really as he was almost the last player that needed replacing.
