2021/22 Lucas Digne

[Chrismac]

His former club doing him a favour

Even they refused to pay up front

I like Lucas.
He's been a very good signing.
He's getting to the wrong side of his career for a modern day fullback.
His past 12 months has been average at best.
If we can get a decent fee that allows us in short term to fix problem areas in exchange for giving up what Lucas currently brings to the table im fine with it.
Thank him for his services and as most are saying, he'll be going to bigger and better things.

Watch football matches. What a load of absolute crap those stats are.

I have. And he wasn't a problem until a month ago when the Tactitian made it one.

But sure. He's 28 and we're gonna "fleece" a club £30mill for his services (more like £20mill) cos he's poor.

Bizarre. Just truly bizarre.

Also we are most definitely not getting anywhere near £30m for him.

Are you saying he hasn't been poor or are you saying he is not worth up to 30m?

poor

love the way people on here are saying digne has been crap for ages but expect some club to give us 20/30 million for him

He signed a new contract last year and isn't cup tied in Europe, he has to be worth about that

I don't think he's bad he has just been off form made worse by the tactics Benitez employs he will look fantastic in a team on the front foot every week and playing in the CL.

Come on.

You telling me most fans we're like "We need to replace Digne?" this summer or last summer?

No that’s what I’m saying, I’m saying he has been below average for a while. And yes I was saying that last season and at the start of this season before it looked like he was leaving.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Gutted if we're replacing him tbh, of all the things wrong at the club Lucas was at the bottom. We should have strengthened right back with a mobile but more defensive minded player and given Digne a bit more scope.

 

[Rob17896]

Yet still one of the best fullbacks in the league

I really can't see why you think that any longer

 

[peteblue]

Digne is a great player, but if he can’t get on with the manager then he’s toast……

 

[everton1953]

Great player my rearrse

@Toast is this true?

Whole team has. He still offered some quality, still bagged assists, and was a threat in attack - the one of very few parts of the squad where you can say "that's fine"..

It's the idea that he's completely hopeless defending now that the master tactitian has taken defending to the next level (sarcasm btw), when last season defence was our strong point.

Additionally this lad coming in is going to help Benitez with his vision that Digne couldn't? We'll see
