2021/22 Lucas Digne

[Stephenlloyd]

This works in theory. But we are getting rid of our only left back and replacing him with another (lesser in my opinion, but with room to improve) left back with the money we get for Digne.

Lets face it though, none of this is the reason anyway. He is being sold as he has fell out with the manager. It's not some boss plan to improve our finances or anything like that.

Well it’s not quite the same money and you obviously know buying and selling works differently on the books. Also will be on half the wages at least

Leicester city and crystal palace linked with Digne

What do we think we will get for him? If we're spending 20M (!!!) on Mykolenko I can't imagine much of a net gain from these deals that would alleviate our issues. Given how everyone knows we are skint and will need to offset this purchase, surely we will be forced to sell for less than he's worth yeah? Perhaps the saved wages is enough?

Hand ball, wasn't it? I remember it was replayed on Millwall's screen, with their manager yelling "switch that off!". So everybody in the ground knew the goal shouldn't have stood but we suffered nevertheless. Everton that.

Yep,it was,the last few years of Everton have totally mashed my brain!!!

We stand with Lucas
Kopites stand with Jaffa

He is an international player himself. He would probably be on a bit less but people are acting like he will be coming here to play for buttons or something.

I'm not against selling anyway, its probably a model we need to look at really, its the disingenuous comments about the manager playing a blinder etc when in reality he is being sold because he has fell out with the player and nothing else.

Could see Newcastle paying him silly wages to go there.

 

[GedMoore]

Mad that Benitez is being allowed to push out one of our only good players

 

[blueblue]

Leicester, Palace and Newcastle, is that the level of club interested in him ?

You would expect much higher profile clubs to be linked.

He will be on significantly less. I think Digne is in the £100k a week bracket. This lad won’t get half that

I would be very surprised if he moved to Newcastle.

I think they will mainly be successful with loan offers. Who wants to move there with a huge risk of relegation.

I guess timing could play a part. If they get some big loans in first, they may be able to convince someone to sign.

 

[hktoffee]

He will move to Chelsea obviously.

 

[Chrismac]

He will move to Chelsea obviously.

Would doubt theyll pay money for a near like for like to Alonso, unless he's off.
Chilwell after injury will be their starting LB for years

 

[davek]

I'd be surprised if Chelsea were in for the rat.

They want FBs on the score sheet as well as doing a defensive job...neither of which he has in him.

He'd be ideally suited to West Ham getting crosses in for their grocks.
