2021/22 Lucas Digne

[stipsy_melbourne]

Standard "she was a slag anyway" for when you ex leaves and you want a reason to feel better about it

The Everton way

Yep. I bought a puppy on Wednesday and ive called it Rooney

 

[larbert toffee]

Maybe we are trying read too much between the lines , seeking for issues were they don’t exist , I don’t believe in any of this gossips about him and Ukrainian left back , maybe ?

But there is an issue between him and Benitez it's no secret.
For me Digne flatters to deceive, when was the last time he had a decent game for us?
Regardless of the circumstances if he wants to go just get rid.
I would have murdered to play for the blues so anyone who doesn't want to be here can do one as far as I'm concerned.

 

[blueblue]

If we sell him to Leicester or Newcastle we truly are finished

Its ome thing to sell your better players, but to a mid table club or, even worse, a relegation fighter

Thats embarrasing

It is embarrassing if that is the standard of our better players.

I would hope there will be bigger clubs than those interested.
If not, then are we guilty of overeating some of our players.

I would have thought he would be worth about 35m as an experienced Premiership player and current French international.

 

[blueblue]

Gotta love how we turn on our players without any evidence they've done anything wrong.

There are two issues as I see it .

The first is the players relationship with the manager and none of us know what is going on there.

But the second is the players form and that has been disappointing.
Godfrey, although not a natural fullback, seems to have completely changed the right hand side of our defence compared to what was happening previously.

 

[Richard Alex]

The thing is mate we'll probably never know who is the one being out of order here, Benitez or Digne.

That’s true mate I agree with you on that.
I hope that he was genuinely sick as I want him to stay and fight for his place
Why can’t he play further up the pitch and
have the new lad at full back.

 

[roy vernon]

That's exactly what we want: someone to come in here and shake the place up.

It's a stale club with a playing, coaching and managerial staff comfy in their mediocre worlds.

Time for those worlds to come crashing down.

And be rebuilt by whom? We would be taking a huge risk entrusting that to him. Its a long time since he was involved in building a team, let alone a club.

His forte these days is taking on teams and adding a little to what is already there and then crying to the press that the club won't back him with sufficient funds

Benitez's job is to destro the old structure and put the cornerstones of the new one in place.

Imo he could be here a couple of seasons and then hand on the task to others.

I know he somehow convinced Moshiri (database of players and lives in the area) but I'm curious, what makes you think he can do that job? Doesn't fit my knowledge of the man at all

I think he might be here longer than that. This could well be his last club job if he manage to be successful in the rebuild.

He'll re-establish the manager's primary role at the club; he'll buy defenders who can do a job defending; the spine of the team will be better than he found.

Then he can hand over.

Possibly.

This is a tough slog for him here though.

 

[Yarrgh]

I got a pot bellied pig and called it Rondo.

 

[Misa]

Possibly.

This is a tough slog for him here though.

Winning and sustained success by breaking into the european spots and challenging top 4 will help win over most of the level headed supporters. One or more trophies won't hurt as well. It could either go very well or very badly for him. I certainly hope it goes very well because that means Everton does well.

That'll do, were it to happen

Could see Newcastle paying him silly wages to go there.

If he’s “got to go” I really hope he goes to a club abroad, and not a PL club - having said that Newcastle won’t be a PL club in a few months time anyway, he’d be bonkers to go a club that’s an even bigger basket case than Everton!
